You can lower it yourself, as far as I know. Just crank the adjusters on the springs. Challenger pics?

It's lowered already on the stock bolts, but to get it looking how I'd like, I need to order some longer fr+rear bolts. The challengers nothin, it's a 6cyl, took it for a spin, its a big, bulky car. It's just a head turner.

I say wheels if you can afford them. i like the CCWs but they are starting to look like they were a factory option with so many cars with them now.

The rear is 5%, I will not do the windows because the cops around here will cite you for it, trust me. As for wheels, I'd love a set of CCW SP500's or Classics, but $3000 for wheels and tires is a lot of money to spend. I'm thinking mesh screens for the vents, lower it considerably, maybe some GS stripes in red, *my interior is torch red*. And some Z06 brakes

Do you have any tint on the doors?? What's the limit on those?? I'd at least go to the legal limit.

As far as mods, the only thing I would do is:

Lower (SLAMMED - 2.5" hehe)
Wheels - C5 Z06 replica's
Z06 side vents

Do that and call it a day.
