AS OF JANUARY OF '06, THIS CAR IS NO LONGER MINE. I TRADED IT IN ON A 2003 HEMI RAM. A NEW PAGE DEDICATED TO THE TRUCK HAS BEEN ADDED. THANKS FOR ALL THE COOL COMMENTS ON MY (OLD) CAR.
It was a great car to me. I was very sad to see it go. The new owner will probably destroy it with stickers and chrome taillights, but let's hope I never have to see it that way. I will miss it.

These are some pictures of the front end. It's a modified SRT-4 front bumper with a lot of custom touches. The hood is grade A and it's from Carbon by Design.
That huge, open mouth was going to be filled with the front-mount intercooler I had sitting at home. I needed to rebuild the block first.
The fenders are SLR style. They did NOT fit without major modifications by the body shop. The work done to make them fit cost much more than the fenders themselves. I highly suggest not buying these. The only reason I have them is because somebody else's insurance paid to make them fit. (since they hit the car in the first place)
Here are some shots that show my Powerslot 2 rotors in the front and my SRT-4 rear disc brakes in the back.
I tinted the reverse lights on my factory tails black. I think they look smoother and meaner than any of the aftermarket tails available. The trunk lid is also a grade A product from Carbon by Design. Inside the trunk, I have an AF/X rear strut tower brace and the battery was relocated there as well in a nice, aluminum box. All sound deadener was removed for weight reductions.
Now for some interior shots:
The guages are from Speed Hut and the letters/numbers all glow cobalt blue at night as you can see. I made the carbon fiber pieces around the needles and the A/C blockoff panel. There's a shot of my MOMO leather shift knob and boot above, as well as a pic of my HVAC panel with a matching Speedhut overlay and Alpine head unit. I painted all of the silver dash trim pieces myself.
I have an Autometer dual gauge pod with some Mopar carbon fiber guages installed. They are back-lit with blue Superbright LED's at night.
Now for under the hood...
The battery was removed and in its place I made an aluminum plate and brackets that hold the Logic catch can and MSD ignition box. The factory plastic coolant overflow tank was removed to make room for the turbo. It was replaced by a Summit aluminum unit (far left).
I used to have an AEM cold air intake, but now it's just a short ram since the AEM filter fell off of the cold air extension and was destroyed. I didn't want to spend the money on a replacement filter from AEM since the turbo kit I was going to install would replace it all anyway.
Most of my effort and hard work (don't forget money) went under the hood. For all the details, check page two. That block was going to get yanked, bored, built, and reinstalled along with a Chill Factory turbo kit. I had the majority of the kit sitting in a box at home, but after I sold the car I sold the kit. I was just waiting for the internals that I ordered months ago to arrive before it all went together. Unfortunately, this never happened.
