Hey Guys,

Could one of you do my report? I don't know what is going on. The car was supposed to be delivered last Friday and then Monday and as of right now, there's no car. My last report states that it was in Twin Oaks, PA early last week. That's only about 100 miles away and it's been about a week. Here's my number 8H289466.

Thanks a million,
Rick

Things to tell your dealer

DO NOT LET THEM TOSS AWAY ANY PAPERS THAT COME WITH THE CAR THERE ARE BUILD AND REPAIR SHEETS THAT LOOK LIKE TRASH BUT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU

DONT LET THEM PLACE ANY CHEESY DEALER NAMEPLATES ON YOUR CAR THEY ARE GLUED ON AND THE MESS UP THE PAINT. Rear license plate frame with the dealer name is OK unless you paid over MSRP then take it off right infront of them before you pull out of the lot.

DO NOT LET THEM INSTALL THE FRONT PLATE HOLDER THEY WILL DRILL HOLES IN YOUR FRONT BUMPER TO DO THIS

DO NOT let the dealer etch your glass to sell you a security package

DO NOT LET THEM COAT YOUR PAINT

DO NOT LET THEM UNDERCOAT YOUR CAR

LOOK AT THE UNDER SIDE OF THE FRONT SPOILER AND BLACK PAN UNDER MOTOR AND BLACK ROCKER PANELS UNDER DOORS FOR SCRAPING DURING SHIPPING.

DONT LET THEM STICK THE WINDOW STICKER ON ANYTHING YOU WILL WANT TO FRAME IT.

YOUR PUSH BUTTON START BUTTON IS IN THE OWNERS BAG

KEEP A LARGE DAMP TOWEL TO WIPE OFF YOUR WHEELS AFTER EVERY 2 HOURS OF DRIVING THEY WILL GET BLACK AND THAT IS NORMAL

ORDER A COLD AIR INTAKE ASAP THIS IS A MUST DO ITEM it wont void the warranty and keep all the parts from the old one. you can install in less than 30 min yourself. I did mine in 12 minuits i just wanted to see how fast it could be done. And it is about the only way to add some horse power. I would say about 10 HP. Unless you want to supercharge it.

ORDER THE CHALLENGER DOOR SILLs you can install in 10 min

ORDER THE CHALLENGER MATS AND TRUNK MAT

ORDER THE CAR COVER

DO NOT buy a chip you will only get about 4 hp

Damn... My car has a small chip in the paint behind the rear window on the drivers side ! Not big enough to do anything with either. I had my body shop look at it and they say to leave it alone. I do NOT want to paint the whole side of the car !!!

Everything else checks out fine. And it is beautiful !!!!!!!!
