Something different.....what do you NOT like to see on Chargers, Mopars

[Chargerguy74]

Can't stand seeing pigeon crap on my cars. Going through boxes and boxes of 12 gauge shells, but there's just too many pigeons on the yard.

put more bird food in your neighbors yard......

NEVER DO THIS TO YOU CHARGER

[Daytona Guy]

Maybe already covered, but here is my list:
1) NON Mopar engine in it.
2) BLACK engine bay.
3) Leaf spring shackles
4) Tires sticking out past the body line
5) Hood scoops an any 2nd gen Charger
6) 70 R/T door scoops. These hide the scallops on the doors which I feel is a great styling feature.
7) 14 inch wheels
15 inch wheels (Kidding!)
9) Curb feelers
10) Those "Crying dolls"  that some people put out at car shows, leaning against the bumper. What the hell are these supposed to be anyway?
11) 20 inch wheels. Yes, I have 18 inch wheels on my car, but my intention was to have a full wheelwell, wide tires and adequate ground clearance.
12) 1st gen Hemi motors.
13) Yellows, orange (Except GL cars) Beige, light gold....any color that lacks "pop".
14) Tuck and roll upholstery
15) Aftermarket A/T shifters.
16) Tach on the steering column when one is already in the dash
17) Roll bars in a 15 second car
18) Body colored bumpers on certain colors. White, yellow, gold, beige, blue.....Not so good. Dark colors with painted bumpers look decent to me.
19) Radiator support NOT blacked out on light colored cars. I was guilty of this but I have since changed my position.
20) Traction bars

This is merely my opinion. Many of these things are not seen much since these cars have increased in value.

I m almost 100% in agreement. My additions...

1. Not fond of truck wheels on cars even if the factory did it.
2. The adea that becuase the factory did it means it is good, or looks good. (I do understand numbers matching cars and the necessity for keeping curtain eligible cars in this condition.
3. Having the cars look like they are jacked on all fours, or they look like they are riding like an SUV. I could care less if it is factory
4. Not into hubcaps or wheel covers, even if they are factory.
5. Not a fan of red lines, white, or black walls.
6. Not a fan of Chrysler's interior scenes of all red, all blue, all burnt orange, all green. I have had these and I just can't stumic the lack of contrast. The white are beautiful and black interiors are acceptable.
7. Chrome all over the motor is too much of a 50-70's mistake, and now corrosive aluminum is taking its place.
8. Stock mufflers that you can't hear the roar of the engine.

Disclaimer - what makes this hoby great is that everything I think above is just my opinion, and whatever you want to do to your car is your right. Just have fun, it's just a car.

You know we have members here who have done this.

Yes I do. They have their opinions of my General Lee [Most aren't favorable] and likewise, I have mine of "Hemi" cars with 5.7 liter Small blocks in 'em.

To borrow a phrase from above...

[Ghoste]

Truer words but tough to remember.  FWIW, I tend to agree with you Cooter and find myself of much the same opinion with the aftermarket front ends and coil over rears and four wheel discs and stuff.  What can I say?

[Daytona R/T SE]

I don't like any modifications to these cars that became "popular" after 1982.

[SnoPro440]

Anything that's been done to this car.

[GPULLER]

Keystone Classic wheels, they belong a rusty primered '68 Camaro   
Blacked out under hood 
Traction bars
Aluminum slots
High dollar restorations with $39 Wal-mart no name white lettered tires. 
Custom cloth interiors, muscle cars are supposed to have vinyl interiors that are hot and burn your legs.

Sure there are plenty more but you guys got 'em.

[GOTWING]

With the exception of Keystones, if they are new on the right color Mopar I like em. ( black 72 charger se ) etc.

[moparstuart]

My 70 road runners look fantastic with keystones

This one is also not to my tastes:

seems cheap for a 68 Hemi, and its got better taillights than 69-74 Chargers

Now that's going toooo far    That is my favorite - I found some cheap white letters that said DAYTONA on them back in the day. ha ha

 I have a few items listed here, on a couple of my Mopars. I guess I will just keep them out of sight.  I would not want to ruin someone's day.

at least it still looks like a charger . A little bit too modified for my taste . There probably arent  many hood scoops  ( if any ) that look good on a second generation charger . I would have to say that this calls for one . The rectangle hole in the hood is horrendous .
