I cannot wait to see the pics. That is my next mod.
My exhaust (new tailpipes and tips) should be complete Friday and my Predator tuner should be in Thursday.

RE: Mopar Front Strut Brace Ordered and Received Today
Paladin, curious about this mod. Have you felt any body flex or excessive movement that you think you need that tower brace? I was considering it myself for my 09 but in looking at how well put together the front end is I dont see that it would flex that much to need the brace. I put one on the wifes Stang as there is considerable body flex in the front end but not having driven a Challenger yet I cannot compare. If it would be a needed item I would like to get it on my list of things for the dealer to buy and add on before I buy the car.

Very slight flex in a hard corner at high speed, but mostly because it is a much larger car then I've driven over the past 10 years so I'm looking to tighten it up for my comfort.

All,
I had a chance to open the box and look at this part this morning. It is NOT the same design as the pic that was posted at the time I placed my order. I went to web-site this morning and noted the pic has now changed. The design is horrible in a word and quality does not match the cost. I have informed the seller and am wating their response. I can NOT recommend this part for our cars.

Where did you order it from if I may ask? From the sound of it, I guess I should look into adding this on to my add on list for the dealer.

I would think most of the parts ingeneral for this vehicle for the first 8-10 months are going to have some "universal" fit to some degree. Espically with the fact NOONE had a car in advnace for R&D

I got it from http://www.moparsupercenter.com/.
In all fairness to them they did not receive the production picture until they got their first part in. The pic on their web-site when I ordered was provided by Mopar. I have talked with Jeff Hunter there and he apologized for the design change, immediately sent me a return label for Fed-X and agreed the design was not what they thought it should be. I will be give a full refund.

RE: Mopar Front Strut Brace Ordered and Received Today
There goes that idea. I am getting all of my add ons from that site through the dealer. That way I can get all of my goodies and have it rolled into the overall price of the car. So I guess for now that brace is off the list. Thanks Paladin!

Have you considered http://www.razorsedgemotorsports.com/raedsttobrdo.html ?
Note the color is red for the picture, the real color of the brace is black.
