Dang that's hot!
I'll take one without that Hemi stripe on the quarter.

So, I'm assuming it's supercharged by Vortech? What sorta numbers are we looking at? Looks pretty nice, really digging those wheels. :)

That's very cool! I like the sutle quarter panel buldges disguised as simple stripes. These are probably a bolt on piece. Nice design and very effective! :1st: 315's look small on that car. :)

The front fenders are bulged as well!

You can see how flat the side of the car really is in this photo.

It looks a lot more agressive than the stock unit. IMHO It still has that bulbus look to it. The body need to be sectioned about 2 inches..or more. Just my .02

One of my favorite cars at SEMA last year. I got a good look at those quarter flares. They have to cut the original wheel well out to make them work, so's the new rubber wont rub. Looks shabby under there. But I looks cool from out side. There were at least 4 other challengers at SEMA with those quarters. I'll see if I can dig up the pics I have of under the quarter panel.

I really like the look and stance but I would change one thing. Those mirrors just detract from the look. They need to come up with an aftermarket mirror

Although it's not how the original was, I think I would have extended the flat billboard around the back of the car. Looks a little truncated the way it ends at the bumper seam. But one hell of a cool car!

I sectioned out some from the body... Looks much better, though I need to section some out from below the body line...

it's good to see that even after dumping all that money into his brand new car, the owner still drives it to work at the gravel pit every day... and somehow manages to not get it covered in dust.

Definitely a good look, too bad Dodge dropped the ball on the Charger when it came out, also lost it on PT Cruiser too. Now wonder how Challenger will fair with Obama helping run the show. Take photoshop and scrunch the car up to a 2 seater with 4 cylinder turbo.
Too bad the Feds havent figured out that cars are super dlean and gee whiz we have cars making 500hp+ and still get nearly 30mpg like my 4cyl cavalier.

Nice work! Looks much better like you said. I think just a little more chop below the crease and it would be perfect. Thanks :cheers:

Maybe it is the camera angles but I'm not liking the amount of camber is see in the rear wheels. Looks too importish for me.

Aside from that, the car looks great. I'd rather have the leaner and meaner original ones but these are a good modern interpretation of the originals

Very cool.. as said this is how the body should have been done from the start.

just changing the shape of the wheel openings made all the differance in the world. should have been square to begin with.

Do these have independent rear suspension?

that is so bad ass. love it.

LateNight72

I don't really know. But based solely on the crazy rear camber on this particular car, my guess is yes.

Pretty cool looking car. Maybe without the quarter paint or decal.

formula

05-25-2009, 12:27 PM

as has been said, the flat black REAAAALLLYYY needs to be extended back onto at least the sides of the bumper....it makes the fender flares look tacked on. Which, of course, they are. But my point remains. Lotta little work left to do before I'd be happy with those on my car.

05-25-2009, 12:39 PM

IMO. I don't like the side graphics at all. The rest of the car is nice.

05-25-2009, 06:47 PM

A set of 22's in the rear would make it perfect.

bamadale

05-25-2009, 07:04 PM

that whole car is badass!!

05-26-2009, 05:42 AM

Definitely a step in the right direction. However, I have never been a fan of those billboard stripes or the clunky-looking gas cap.

Billboards on a Challenger??? What next, a bird on the hood of a new Camaro?

Hey guys,

We have some more images of this Challenger on our website. Here's a link http://www.bozeforged.com/challenger1.html. We built our Mesh wheels for it in 20x10" front 20x12" back. The finish is a gun metal center with a polished lip.

I'm no Mopar person but what's wrong with billboards on a Challenger? Were they only on the Dodges?

Only on Plymouths. ;)

05-26-2009, 05:03 PM

dang it! See there I go swapping the makes around even. Yes, Plymouths that's what I was meaning. Thanks

Bjkadron

05-26-2009, 06:53 PM

If your going to do a widebody... I don't think the small matter of "only coming on plymouths" is going to deter you. Its still vintage Mopar. If it bugs you that much.. Change the grill and taillights and make it a 'cuda! Just a thought.

tones2SS

05-27-2009, 11:01 AM

That's how they should have made that car. Giving the customer the choice to have the quarter decal or not.
I like this car.

Already done...and yes, I'd love to see the billboard flares on this...

What would you think of a hood-bird on a Camaro? It's still vintage GM.:enguard:

I'd have no problem with it... Might actually look pretty cool.
Don't get me wrong now... I'm a Mopar person all the way... But it wouldn't bother me a bit to put a billboard on a dodge. Or an ACR on a Plymouth(I'm actually considering it).
You could always just paint them body color too...

Figured they had... And DANG that would look nice with the flares!
