  1. Rebadge and EU-decals do the 3D resin emblem thing you might want to check out.
  2. I don't mind the "widebody" flares as there aren't any exposed fasteners and is not awkwardly bulbous like most of the widebody aftermarket kits. A flared metal panel like what the Germans do on their high performance autos would be elegant but probably cost-prohibitive. Instead Dodge just holds onto their current marketing image as unapologetic, aggressive muscle and make it work. So I like'em and would love to add them to an LC chassis but that ain't happening (at least from MaMopar/FCA). Running good 315 rubber on 11" or 12" rims like the Mustangs and Camaros would really be interesting for autocrossing and road racing with these 2 ton machines.
  3. What do you mean by "dust protection"? Less brake dust (which is a function of brake pad selection), or dust boot design for the caliper pistons or pins? Although wear and tear will be minimal since you're just street driving it, be sure to look at replacement cost of the rotors. Some can get up to $300+ each! An affordable option would be to use stock SRT8 rotors. TCE has a Wilwood kit for the R/T spindle/knuckle with 6-piston fronts and 4-piston rears that use SRT8 rotors Or you can look for take-off SRT Brembos for sale in the forums (eBay, Cleveland PAP, et cetera), but you'd also have to get SRT8 spindles for compatibility. A really affordable option would be a simple poor man's brake upgrade - pads (CarboTech, Hawk, EBC, StopTech, DBA...), stainless steel braided lines (Goodridge, Russell, StopTech) and hi-temp DOT4 brake fluid (550+ Wilwood, StopTech, ATE, Motul, AP Racing, $$Castrol SRF$$...). StopTech also deserves a mention while you're shopping around. And if you want to see really pricey options, look at the offerings from AP Racing and Alcon!
  4. The early, non-Eagle head 5.7 Hemis have the round ports; '09+ Eagle 5.7 and 6.1 Hemis have the D-ports.
  5. Interested. Please PM shipping to 15237.
  6. Sounds like a fob problem. Open up the fob and separate the circuit board from the rubber key pad. The little metal discs that are supposed to be under the buttons may have come loose and are causing chaos. It drove me nuts before and you just have to glue those discs down with a dab of glue.
