Default New toy!!

I still have the SS, but I ran across a deal I could not pass. It's a 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona, Red with black leather and with the cloth in the middle. There is only 2000 made of these kinds ( Not daytona's, this specific daytona), Idk why only 2000 but I will eventually find out. It's a really slick car, and has ton's of amounts of speed ( Much Much more faster than the SS), The SS is for sale, and once I sell it I will be investing that money in this. I don't know what I can do for mods, But I am planning on going Cams and ported heads, and a magnacharger in the future once I get the money. If anyone on here know's the forum for these car's, please speak up, I would like to start modifying this car ASAP and see what kind of power it puts down,Crappy pics, But I was working on it for hours cleaning it up and finally got it to the most I could, Problems with it are kind of simple, Spoiler needs to be repainted, The black letters on the HEMI symbol on the passenger side is peeling of, airbag light is one ( Safety first), Quarter panel is kinda scratched up, ima have a body shop touch it up for me. Pics or iphone pics, sorry, lol:

Thanks for the comments guys! Ima start doing what i love to do, and start blacking out! Tailights, get rid of the ridiculos puprle tint, cormer lights, wheels, and getting red calipers to match the car, i am debating on if i should get a srt8 hood? I ordered a k&n CAI and researching on what exhaust system I should go with,
Any other opinions would be great!

That's how I am painting the wheels, if they don't look good I'll get the same kind.
I am also doing the corners that way but not getting those headlights, they took forever to install on a friends car.



Tailights are being done this way:

Not my first choice in vehicles but not the worst ever either. Looks like you brought it back to life with your cleaning.

You might want to save you "mod" money for repairs. It is a Chrysler, but good luck on making it faster.

P.S. Will Chrysler EVERY make a dash that doesn't look like ****!?

Heavy? The chargers are BOATS. I was considering one for a DD but a GTO + TVS seems too appealing. How do they handle compared to the Fbody? That and the tire size were my two biggest qualms when looking at them.

Both are boats, But the charger is alot quicker. This handles like ****, and has been bringing me down for the past week. Gas mileage sucks! I have a deal working on it for 16,9, if it sells I am looking in getting into a f-body again or a Z06 that I can do H/C/I swap and not worrying about the motor committing suicide, I would do it to the yellow one, but it has 120k in miles, and is starting to give me trouble, who know's, Either way, I don't want this charger anymore, I would much rather want a F-body because they are cheaper to build. Any suggestions? SS is on ebay.
