Seems like we need one on here to talk cars, mods and the coolness of your or their car.

Interested? Chime in

Does that schtick work?

yes because with it they dangle the price difference.

I'm guessing they point that guy right to the Challengers they have on the lot.

In general the flagship specialty cars of the typical sellers are usually not profitable for the manufacture but guessing they are with something as hot as the Challenger ones. Sometimes they even take heavy loss on them like the Lexus LFA.

BRC we need some pics when you get this beast.

**lewdog** · 03-21-2015, 10:40 PM

Where will you be placing that Chiefs bumper sticker BRC?

He better not. And you should not do the same to damage the mustang.

It was a mere joke. Bumper stickers are tacky on any ride. I'd never do that, especially on a car supposed to be cool. But the wife and I laugh when we do see it. Especially the crooked ones on nice cars.

yep, its a daily driver. Will be putting the miles on it. But, it will be treated with loving care.

As of right now these mods/after market items are the ones I'm doing for sure.

Tint the windows
Color correct and seal the paint

Still considering
Floor mats if I get the Dodge floor mats
Badging the spoiler
Cat back exhaust if it doesn't have the low deep rumble

You either hate me or missed it, but what's your daily commute like?

Reminds me of the bumper sticker on a Prius when I lived in Denver. "I get 50 Miles Per Gallon, What are YOU Doing for to Save the Environment?" And yes that was all crammed on a single sticker and not surprisingly that car was parked at the REI.

Did you ask them where their battery goes when it dies?

I would say all of those mods wouldn't hurt the originality except I don't know what you mean by badging the spoiler. After market floor mats is something I do and store the stock originals for when it is time to sell.

**TrebMaxx** · 03-21-2015, 10:54 PM

Oh and I would keep the original exhaust too.

Or how bad the pollution was from the battery being created?
