Nice mods, great to see this big variety.
 
The "Retro Wheel Look" with a smaller diameter rim with wider tires in back and narrower tires in front.
Sweet! I really like the look of your "Retro Wheel Look!" can you please PM me details. I would love to get your setup.

New Take On The Old RamCharger Fresh Air Setup

Here is a nice Retro touch under the hood. I took a Cervini Ram Air Underhood Cold Air Kit and DA'd the Cervini and Ram Air lettering off and painted the body semi flat black and the runners in Hemi Orange paints. This was accomplished with Spray Cans w/Regulator Spray Handle. Then I added the old "Ramcharger" decal and rubber gasket to seal the Air Cleaner (Cali) Box.

It attracts almost as much attention as a open Shaker Hood.

Very cool looking setup,I really like it.The old school color and decals draw you to it.:thup::thup::thup:
 
Pretty neat. How you do the valve covers and wires? Nice!
OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!! WHERE CAN I BUY THIS STUFF!!!!! I'm building a new Challenger right now!!! Love the look!
I make them and sell them . Yes the Real Covers look nice These dont take a full weekend to install , Fit on a 5.7 without relocating your coils and therefore ensuing warranty issues from doing such .
 
Gorgeous absolutely!
How much did all these mods cost you if you don't mind?
Thanks
Thanx. I did the stripes myself for $450. Tires and wheels w/trade in of factory wheels $1650. Fenders were $1800 after shipping and paint. Front grill was $650 plus paint. $650 for Hodgkis suspension. My chrome blower was $6,500 installed and tuned from a friend. @600hp/@500wrhp depending on weather when I dyno it.
 
WHERE IN THE WORLD did you get those old school guages? I LOVE THEM!!!! do you have any pictures of them in the daytime though? Would love to see! Nice car!

And here are my retro mods:

I've been told my fogs that are actually DRL's now, are retro. But I don't remember that myself.
I have wanted to do this ever since I saw Ghostdance's car but his wiring harness mods made me skittish. How did you do it? Tell me! Lol
 
How much would it cost for someone to order these? Of course I would ask you to do the design work but I would LOVE some in mph. Also, is it hard to change the backlighting for the gauges? I want to make mine red but I would like to change the EVIC to red but I fear that might be too difficult to be worth it.

For some reason Chrysler puts the wiring harness in the fog light kits. I don't know why but SE's are already wired for fogs. So I used that wiring harness and plugged the positive side to ignition on fuse in the fuse box under the hood. And of course the ground. It took all of 20 minutes.

So if you know of any SE owner buying some mopar fog lights get that wiring harness.
 
Here's mine, not as fancy as some of the other amazing stuff here:
