I have seen Corvettes painted that way before but never a Challenger. Cool with something different. Which colour will you have it repainted in?

I'd like to paint it EV2 but not sure yet My 70 Gran Cuda 10yrs ago was EV2 and I miss it! Can't touch anything nowadays without refinancing your house! I don't mind the colors so much but it is a little much on the street. Thanks Guys
TOM

Thanks Guys!
I got the handle at Carlisle this year. Gunslinger, got it on the last day for a great price! Still got the T-handle too. I still got the TT rims for when I want something with a bit less bling.

Cool car Tom!
Nice fitting speakerbox!
It is nice looking to have exhaustpipes in front of the rear wheels in T/A style like you have...

I got it at a local Auto Parts store called PEP BOYS. Not sure if you got that over there. It was like 14 bucks. Here is a better pic of the detail.

No rubs, could definately go bigger on the rear. I think the rears will fit on the front, but I'm not 100% on that. I may try it out this winter though.

The thing with brushed stainless is it really shows the finger marks. WD40 cleans it well but you will be forever smelling of oil.
