As seen at Springfest a few years ago. Not my car, but it looked great from every angle. Vinyl top, too!

I told you Sir before, you keep posting these pics of that car and you are gonna get me in trouble. I was online last year looking for the same car. no luck. I will start again.
My wife may be sending you a PM soon lol.

 

Dont like that side decal at all. It would have to go.

 

Yup. I'd get rid of it as well. His earlier pics didn't have that decal. I've never been a fan of applied graphics. I believe this is the same car minus the decal.

 

This one of course....because it's mine

 

Nice! I looked for one like this, but with the traditional body.

 

I got 3 friends trying to score the Retro-USA Bumper Kits but they stopped making them because they claim the MFG they used wanted to much and yet they claim to have a huge demand for them but they make Hood Trim and some Mustang Chrome Finished items.... For the Challenger only the Side Scoops for that 71 Look... That said this is sharp I like this one as well

 

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. If demand is there, cost is not an issue. I'd love to go with polished wheels, but there's no chrome to set them off. Chrome (or polished) wheels without additional chrome accoutrements looks odd to me. Chrome bumpers, door handles and rocker trim, minimum. When you consider how many Challengers are on the road, it blows my mind that no one is offering aftermarket chrome bumpers.

Somewhat related... A restaurant that cuts its portions (due to rising costs) is doomed to failure. If you serve the best pizza in town, consumers will gladly pay the increase. NEVER CUT YOUR PORTIONS! Always raise the price.

 

Well there has to be more then on MFG who can make them for Retro-USA I just can't believe they didnt invest in their own Equipment to make them In house. They could then do other items but guess they wanted quick profit and to keep a demand and down the Road perhaps try to release them again for 3x the price.

You have extensive paint and body experience. How difficult would it be to make a mold? It shouldn't be too difficult to source a manufacturer. Then again, we are in the midst of economic attrition.

 

Most of us would say our own.

I have to say the 08-09 model was amazing looking, that's when I fell in love with them all over again. Modern-day muscle without having to restore.

 

Wish the Side Markers were up higher like the Retro and the Prototype was... Odd when it went into production they lowered the height of them.

 

The '68 B body "fisheye" side-markers are still my favorite.

 

I have always liked the look of this member's WB challenger. If you are vegan then look away cause those 345s are meaty.

10 of the Best Aftermarket Wheels for Your Car

Nothing changes the look of your car like a new set of wheels, and the right rim can make or break the appearance of a car. Out of the zillions of combinations out there, here are 10 aftermarket wheels — both old and new — that we think really stand out. OZ Racing Ultraleggera A racing...

Thats a nice one. I like those wheels as they are diffeent. Everybody has the same variety of wheels so i like that one. Not a big fan of the WB flares, but they look OK. I like the Lil Devil's better. If that one had those it would be awesome.

I worked with a dude that had 345's on his with the Lil Devils. Looked great and he had off brand wheels too.

 

Mine, of course. Subtle, classic, aggressive, distinctive

Well played!

 

I'm pretty partial to mine.

 

Here is my favorite

 

Mine of course!! My old 2010 bought new on trade in day last year. Got a one owner, low mile 2016 Scat.

 

Yeah but which one is it?!

 

It would be easier to 3d scan, tweak it and then program that into an 3d Printer and make it in sections that assemble with Epoxy and Pins then get it Plated.
To make a new one would be very expensive but your right on so many accounts why the heck didn't they search since they designed and had the ability to reach out
to other Manufactures. Clearly if demand is there you sell out then you order more and have a couple of spare not per sold order so cost would be lower.

So much is in shortage or availability some perhaps to drive up price and milk an already existing inflated times.

 

My gal works in LiDAR manufacturing and sales. I don't see why we couldn't use one of their units to map the surface of the Challenger bumpers.

 

Ive always liked that old cuda style graphic and in fact am considering it due to some stupid damage to my rear passenger side quarter and a bad paint color match. This graphic would basically cover up the painted area that doesnt match.

 

I miss my ol' B5 Blue Belle II!

 

There was a guy down the road from me trying to take a few front and rear after market 70's modify them with some tweaks for mapping and such but I think he just had a death in the family and stopped working on it. Use to run into him a lot at the Grocery Store he has a 2012 R/T with a Retro Spoiler on it will ask next time I see him.

 

Gonna go the suck-up route and say I've never seen a Challenger that I didn't like.

But also I said it before and ill say it again. Everytime I see:

I like it even more!

 

Yeah, not with those cheesy a$$ fake chrome bumpers on it....Ugh!!!

 

 

Mine, duh. 😁

Actually a lot of great ones on here.

 

Mine of course...

 

I can't image a better looking Challenger than mine - it's kind'a unique. Having said that, I would go with an F8 Challenger with the black AAR stripe down the side with the AAR hoodscoop and put side pipe exhaust on it. I loved the F8 AAR 'Cuda - in every color. I had a white one, but wanted a green one. So, although our new Challengers are beautiful, nothing beats the original (except I hated the '73-'74 front frowny grille on the Challengers - which is why I would always opt for a 'Cuda)

 

I've seen the Retro-USA bumpers in-person. They look fabulous!

 

I think the look of a car is different for everyone. Myself, I don't care for the "blackout" look necessarily, but other people pay money for that. I like the look of the chrome bumper thing on the front ok, but the back one doesn't look as nice for some reason.
