05 Magnum RT

Taylor Shorty Plug Wires

K&N CAI

Cold White LED Interior lights

Removed hood insulation for more rumble

otherwise stock. Exhaust is up next, thinking of removing the resonators if I can get those damn things off to see what it sounds like.

In the future, I'm looking for a rear air splitter, a front lip, charger cop steelies, and some vinyl graphic on the side, which I'm in the process of designing right now. Oppo sticker has yet to be applied, along with some custom Scat Pack stickers that I can get printed (I know a really cool graphics guy, always helps).
