I'm sorry it took so long. Got a few pictures over the weekend. Sorry the quality is poor but I had to use my cell phone camera.

The family fits great into to the car, it was really nice taking them all for a ride to the beach/pier. The car draws incredible attention.

Saturday evening the Wife and I were able to take a ride without the kids. I let the Wife drive the car and she loved it, she wouldn't give up the drivers seat

All you did was bad business, but at least you gained experience, and I hope you won't have similar ****-ups with the Challenger, although if I was in your situation I would have bought a SRT8 Charger, just because it's a muscle car/full-sized 4-door sedan hybrid, both a powerful mix of power and practicality for a family.
-------------------------------------------------

Honestly the only bad item that was installed in my Camaro, was the POS Monster Clutch, bad move on my part the warnings were out there but I didn't want to drop 2k on a clutch at the time, so I spent 1.2k and ended up with trash. At that point the thought of spending another 2k to fix it was enough. The other mods all worked well together. My mistake was not thinking forward when I decided to mod the car. You get caught up in the moment and don't think long term.

If you think I am alone, look at how many modded cars are up for sale from all the brands. I don't think any of us would have sunk the money into the cars knowing that they would soon go up for sale and we would loose all that money. We just decided for whatever reason that we no longer wanted the car and wanted to try something other.
