Considering these scoops
Retro USA - Quarter Scoop Set - 2009 Dodge Challenger Chrome Trim
I had them on my 71 & since the side is kinda plain think they'd be a nice accent even though the car is more 1970 flavor
thoughts ?

I like 'em. Looks like they might be able to be removed if you got tired of them? Just make sure you get your paint to match...

Don't like FAKE scoops.......says tape on with 3M tape.... cheesey and maybe wind noise

I'm with ya on the fake issue. I always had a hard time accepting the stripes on the Challenger for instance, as they're stickers, and the hood isn't made of carbon fiber.... But, they do look good.

I dunno, they say our engines aren't truly a hemi design, so maybe we're all a bunch of fakers...

You are not a faker. New motor is a hemi. Chrysler has just decreased the height of the sphere in the chamber to assist in flame travel and create a cleaner burn which generates more power and lowers emissions. Now chrysler is definately not the only one with a hemi head, just the one that really marketed heavily on its design.

Yeah they're only held on by tape. It's a little throwbackier
I may consider them & louvers

Just something to give it a little more retro flavor

The only thing that bothers me about the louvers for the new Challenger is the gap between the lowest louver and the bottom. That gap is bigger than the spacing between the other louvers (to give the trunk clearance when raised). It just throws the symmetry off a little.

Good point , guess it's more practicle as you say for clearence
I wonder if they just bolt on without any mods needed ?

 

[cannonballcobb]

Some are bolt on, some stick on. Not sure about the one in your link.

 

[huggytree]

your challenger is supposed to be a retro of the 1970...not the 71


i wouldnt throw them on

Just wondering what you guys consider real? Did the side scoops in the 1971ish challenger do any thing? I have a very real 1971 'Cuda with factory original really non-functional hood scoops. What is the big deal? Lots of cars came with really nice body decals and stripes.

Would have been nice if they would have give us a retro 1970 426 Hemi size vice and a 1957 392 Chrysler Hemi.

I personally like the 71 grill and side scoops but the 71 tail lights don't do much for me. But I have a Hemi and a Pistol Grip so life is pretty good. Plus I have a faster car than any of the 70 stuff. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I personally don't car for it but it's always been my opinion of "it's your car do what makes you happy"

Barring 26" wagon wheels or raking the ground.

It is a nice design. I don't know about the 3M tape though. I don't think I would do it because of that. But if you do..make sure you take some pictures.:guiness:
