It's my understanding that the dual over-the-top stripes will also be available on the "regular" 2011 SRT8 (in silver and gray), is that correct?

Thanks.

I'm not positive, but I think the regular srt's will get silver or gray dual "side stripes", not over-the-top stripes.......

 

[huggytree]

my understanding is the regular srt8's get the same full over the top stripes as the IE 392...just different colors

 

[RANGERMAN]

Regular SRT's will come standard with Full over the top Black stripes. The gray and silver are options (no cost options as of now).

I'm thinkin' there's gonna be a lot of "Stripe Delete" cars ordered!

 

[ND RAM]

Dual/LeMans/Skunk stripes just make a car IMHO but what else would you expect me to say...

The new Dodge Challenger configuration page should be coming up live soon. Hopefully this weekend to see what kind of options to configure. Dig the new stripe kit.

I like the double stripes but not on the roof. I also don't like the stripes on the bumper. It looks goofy how it is cut around the plate. They should have stoped it at the rear spoiler like Hurst does. just my opinion.

 

[nyca]

yes, maybe when they see how many ordered cars select stripe delete, they will change the offering.

i think the full double stripe is awsome and will make the car stand out even more on the road...i always found it alittle funny why the stripes were hood only..i do wish dodge left the hood stripe design the same as 2008-2010 and had the super wide stripes going over the roof/trunk...it would have made a difference between the shelby stripes and the challenger ones....instead they are exact duplicates. i do think they should be painted on too...charge me another $750 and paint them. when its $50k who cares if it was $50,750....i doubt any 392 owner would complain about paying a bit more to get painted stripes.

i cant imagine getting a stripe delete car....im even considering strobe side stripes for my ir392....the more flash the better....isnt flash why we chose the challenger over a blah mustang? the challenger stands out when it goes down the road...the mustang blends in

the license plate strip issue doesnt really bother me...getting a sun roof with roof stripes looks a lot more goofy to me....i think the sun roof will definately be a little more rare with full roof stripes...i wanted a sun roof, but knew it would look stupid...so i skipped it....also no sun roof in 1970(i think), so a more retro look

i dont see many people getting the stripe delete...same as before...dont think ive ever seen one on the road w/o stripes....i do see SE's with Srt stripes though

True!! But for me, I'll have to go stripe-less: just like my current SRT8.

If a car can't "stand-out" without bright colors, decals or stripes, then it's not an "out-standing" car to begin with.

Logically.

Painted stripes would cost more than $750. They cost 3k on my Viper.

Earl Schibe charges $99 to paint a whole car

Ferrari probably charges $1,000 to replace a gas cap

 

[SRTGTO]

A) For $99 (if it is that cheap) you would have to do all the prep work.
B) The paint will fade in just a few years. You get what you pay for.
C) Earl Schibe is out of business.

C) Earl Schibe is out of business.

I wonder why?

Dual gray center stripes r no cost option on toxic ,black,redline, or billet metallic. Dual silver centers on toxic , black, redline. Stripe delete is a 250 credit on all colors

I agree the sun roof might not look right with the roof stripes. Never know until you see. In any case, will be interesting to see how many are stripe delete cars.

P.S. Yes, you could get a sun roof with a 1970 Challenger, option code M51. It was wildly expensive ($461 option on a $3266 Challenger R/T) so very rare. And it came with a vinyl roof to help hide where they cut thru the roof.

I hate sunroofs with an extreme passion. I have one in my Jeep that was already there when I got it and I have to park it under the porch so it doesn't rain inside it.:fight:

One of the preproduction IE 392's has a sunroof and it does look even more retarded and out of place to me.

I think it looks fine!

But I'm biased, cause I'm getting one, a DWB w/ WS.

Damaged Stripes

Hi Everyone,

My name is Matt, just joined. One of the stripes on my 392 came damaged. Of course I noticed when I got home from the dealer. The car was delivered in a snow storm. Let's just say someone was a bit rough brushing the snow off. I'm not sure if I should order a stripe kit from Dodge and try to repair it myself. It's not major, just super annoying.

Any suggestions. I just wanted the car so bad, I bought the first 392 on Long Island. Yes it has a sunroof, it's all good.

Matt
