the stripes arent hard to remove at all. I do it all the time

Bad for you? I was under the impression that the R/T's were being built first, then SRT's the 2nd of sept would start. Now with the SE's coming first who knows about us. lol

I thought the original plan was to build the 2009 R/Ts first and then the SRTs in September.

This change is probably in response to the current gas crisis.

Are you sure about this? We need to get ResumeSpeed to verify this. He always seems to be on top of things...

If the AY2 SRT OPTION GROUP II E includes an INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHITE FACE W/TACH, what instrumentation is provided as standard? I thought all SRTs had white-faced guages and a tach?

Also, what is the reasoning behind no front and rear floor mats on the SRT?

I never understood the white being an option either. Every SRT i have ever seen is white on the cluster panel.

We dont get floor mats? why the heck not?

Sure we do. SRT8 floor mats are just a different package code because they're "luxury" floor mats... whatever that means.

luxry? oh god, that should be a $500 option now

Has anyone ever used that caliper paint like they sell in the Eastwood Catalogue? How does it come out? Any tips? Thanks.
