Finally got my Challenger Posted up here after enjoying it the last month! While I was deployed to Afghanistan I got some pictures of my Challenger that I ordered, sitting at the dealership, waiting for me to get home. 

Yes, Its a 6 Speed!! Thats the 18" stock wheels, they will stay there for the time being.

Once I got home I took delivery of the car and brought it home!

Huggging the car or Humping it, I dunno!!

Pulling up to the driveway, there were several goodies for the car already waiting for the car!! I ordered these while still in Afghanistan! 

First thing's First- Put on the R/T badge on the rear spoiler (It should have come this way!)

Next, I Put on several interior  Billet Aluminum parts. These parts include the Air Conditioner Knobs, the Windshield washer knobs, the power window and lock covers are all now Billet aluminum. Below is a picture of the Lumbar seat adjustment before and after, and also the door sills. I also added embroidered carpets that say Challenger, as well as the trunk mat.

Next it was time for the engine. Here is a picture of the engine bay before I started. Notice the Hood prop, that was one of the first things to go! 

First thing was the Hood Prop, then came the the custom fuse box cover, as well as the rest of the Billet aluminum engine dress up. (Oil dipstick, windshield washer cap, oil fill cap, and power steering cap.)

Next, as you see in the picture above, a CAI (Cold Air Intake) was added, but first, I changed the Throttle body out for a slightly larger one. 

Comparing the the two, the larger is on the left. 

Taking the old Throttle body off. 

New throttle body installed.

Can you believe it didnt come with a locking gas cap??!! I had to add this one!

Functional Hood Scoops! (SRT comes stock with them)

Next came the Total Ram's head delete from the car. Ram's Heads are for trucks, not cars!! My car is fast, not ram tough!!

Next the wheels Rams Head-

Next came the water neck, Changing it to a Billet aluminum piece.  

Next came the Billet aluminum Catch Can. If your not familiar with a Catch Can, it basically catches the crap that doesn't burn off the first time in the engine. If you dont have one, this crap goes right back into the engine. If it wasn't good enough to burn the first time, I don't want it back in my engine! The kit I got came with Braided lines.

Next came a 1970 style hood stripe! I am going for the old school look on the Challenger!

Next came a Full Exhaust!! This included Kooks Headers with High-Flow Cats, and a MBRP cat back. I cant express how awesome the sound is, as well as the quality! Here is a picture of the car getting the exhaust, the one on the right is the stock exhaust. But if you want to hear it click the video, it has before and after sound!

Next came Suspension! I had a Hotchkis TVS system installed, this included beefy sway bars compared to the stock ones, as well as lowering springs. Here is another picture of the stock height at the dealer as well as the after pics.

Here are a few more pictures riding around Hawaii .

Here is where I got the Mods for my Challenger. Mostly all from 2 places. I added the MBRP (exhaust) link so you can evaluate the company, but I ordered it from BMC Performance.

BMC Performance is where I got all the go-fast parts. If you contact them, tell them Lupoman sent you!!

  Billet Technologies is where I got all the dress up stuff and the Catch-Can.

Great Company, and their quality is superb!

Hope you like what I have done to my Challenger, I still have a few other things to do to the car and wil update it here!!
