So I'm a big fan of rally stripes (had silver ones on my a black WS6 T/A in the late '90s) and the ones that Dodge offers on the Challenger SRT 392 are perfect. However, I'm going to be ordering a Scat Pack Shaker. I've been thinking about options for rally striping on this car, knowing that the OEM ones don't fit this hood correctly.
Rider Graphix makes a set specific for the shaker hood, that run from deck lid to the edge of the front fascia. They also sell replica SRT 392 rally stripes, and based on my inquiries, said they'd be willing to alter them so that there was a shaker cutout on the hood instead of one for the Cuda-style center scoop. My problem now is that I can't decide which one to go with. I prefer the full-length SRT style stripes, but I'm not sure how they'll line up with the shaker trim ring, and they would also require me to remove the factory SPAG bee stripe on the tail if I order that option (which I might do for the interior trim more than anything else).
Since Valkyrie9901 recently took delivery of a Go Mango SPS that optioned out very similar to how I'd order mine -- see his thread here -- I asked for his permission to mock up some photos of his car with the stripe ideas I had in mind. So thanks to him, here are some pics of a Go Mango SPS with rally stripes in two different styles.
Which style do you like better?
Option 1: SRT-style rally stripes
These will be familiar to anyone who's seen an SRT 392 with factory stripe option. I'm not sure if I got the width right since I don't know the measurements, but since the SRT's teardrop center scoop is narrower than the shaker, the stripes probably will be no wider than the shaker itself. Basically the stripes would look OEM except for the hood portion which would be custom. If I ordered SPAG, I'd have to remove the bee stripe from the tail for this to work. Also I'm not sure whether I should stripe the spoiler or not since it's already satin black.
Option 2: Rider Graphix shaker rally stripes - hood only
This set is already designed for the shaker hood. It comes with pieces for the spoiler, trunk, roof, hood and top of the front fascia. If I ordered the SPAG option, I'd leave the bee stripe on the tail and just install the hood and front fascia portion of this kit, as shown above. I think this is a cool look, but I'm a bit worried that the hood stripes are too wide making the shaker hard to notice. Rider Graphix doesn't have any photos of this kit actually installed, except for one small one on a 2014 Challenger Shaker.
Something else?
I probably can't be talked out of stripes, so don't even try. Still, if anyone has a different idea or examples of something cool they've done on their Shaker, feel free to post pics!
The OEM shaker stripe is pretty cool and I've also considered just going with that, but you can't get the SPAG option and the shaker stripe together. I may or may not order SPAG; still undecided.
Thanks again to Valkyrie9901 for letting me use the pics of his amazing Scat Pack Shaker.
