I ordered and received some chrome Mopar center caps. I can't decide whether I like them more or the stock black Ram head one. I plan to keep the silver lug nuts either way.

What is the forum consensus?

For me I like the black wheels with chrome lug nuts and cap.

I have the opposite color scheme!

I think i like the black better and would stay with that but the chrome doesn't look bad at all. Drive around with one side chrome the other black for a while and see which one you settle on lol
I know you said your not changing lugs but i would try that also! That color is great all de-chromed
Color match them mirror backs too!

With chrome lugs I like chrome centers.

My old Challenger Mopar 14 came from the factory like that

I have plans to add the color matched puddle mirrors. It's stupid how much more expensive the passenger side mirror is over the drivers side though.

I think I made my decision, I'm going to black it all out instead. I order black lug nut covers, and I'm going to paint the Mopar covers satin black. If I F them up, I'll just put the stock ones back on. I'd like to use the Mopar ones though, just as something a little different then what most people have. Plus they are flatter because they don't have the raised Ram head.

Have you lowered at all, if not, something to consider and drives the same, is the Ground Force rear 2" lowering, makes for a great ride and level stance.
Truck looks great, love the color!

Thanks. I haven't lowered it, it's still stock, but I've definitely been thinking about it. I just don't know if I want to do a subtle 1/2, just lower the rear, or do a 2/4.

I think I'll do all of the other mods, first, then I'm sure I'll lower it, they look great lowered.

So far I've added color matched door handles, de-badged it, I have the steering wheel audio controls waiting to go in, I've ordered a leather wrapped steering wheel. I'm going to add the color matched puddle mirrors, I already have the security bypass harness and AlphaOBD app to activate them, a remote start, not sure which one, and maybe a center console.

well, I lowered my old white RC with the GF 2" rear first, drove for years, then did the BT 2/4.....if I had to do over again, I would have lowered 2/4....with the 2" rear only, drove great. Added 22" KMC Slides and 305 Nittos, drove excellent!
Yours looks great!!

Are you saying you wouldn't have done the 2/4 and just do the rear 2", or basically a 2/2?

Man your truck was sweet. I've seen you post it a few times, and I really like the look of it. I had the chance to get a white one optioned just like mine, but ultimately I choose the Delmonico Red, but the white still looks awesome.

thanks, I would have chosen your color too...when the Express first came out, 2011, it didn't have that color in Express regular cab, or that I saw.

I wouldn't do 2/4...rode like crud, and the 2" rear drop only on 22's, looked better IMHO and rode like new.
another simple add, was the Challenger HEMI logo....most didn't notice, but diehards did. LOL
