We sent this kit to Johnny Cars (a new GRIP dealer) out in LA. They sent us pictures of the finished vehicle. Nice to see it on a black car.

The grille area is just aluminum mesh, however, the entire front fascia is the GRIP Charger fascia. Flexible, durable, urethane. MSRP: $850. :rockon:

It looks pretty awesome, do you have any pictures of the front more head on? I'd like to see the whole front end at once.

Unfortunately, they only sent us those pics. But this is our Charger from the front

I think it would be trick if the exhaust vented from the holes on the back of the rocker panel.

Yeah, had we not had a remote mount turbo (Power Ported Performance) put on :rockon: , I think we would have gone that route.

Do you know if those are 20's or 22's. Those look like Dropstar 02's rims . . . . really like those rims.

I do not like the front end, here's why:
1 part of the style of the new Chargers is the cross hair in the grill, take that away and it looks Mustangish.
2 the lower opening is as big as the grill opening, looks like it has a mirror in the middle of the bumper.
3 it is too low in the front, again going for the mustang look

1. We're working on a crosshair style grille to fit the top opening. We're not totally sure about it yet, but if it pleases the customer (or potential customer) we'll do it.

2. Some like it, some don't.

3. It is about two inches lower, but keep in mind that the entire car is dropped between 2" and 2.5", so, that ends up being around a 4"-5" drop total.

Thanks for the feedback though, it will help us with future development. :yes:

Feros, I have to disagree with you, i still think it's looks just as aggressive if not more...TRUE, I would like to see the cross hair grill, but i am sue you should still be able to mount..(at least i hope so, and if not fellas lets try and rectify that for future molds..)
Ahh..the mustangs..we dont want to look like them we are pony-hunters..Charging forward with reckless abanondon trying to capture (and defeat) any pony we see on the high way...lol
Now i do agree that it is too low..if you live in NY(the front end would have so many scratches), but where you are privileged to have open roads... BEAST!

I'm pretty sure they're 22's. And yes, they are the Dropstars.

i personally hate the crosshair grille. it makes the car look like it has a dodge truck front end.

IMO I like the crosshair grill better, it does not make the front bumper look so "mirrored". It makes it look like a newer dodge.
With the cross hair in place and with that huge bottom opening (mind you I am not trying to poke fun, just a picture that came into my head <be scared, be very scared>).
I would have to put teeth on the bottom and top part of that bottom opening. This is what came to my mind before, Makes it look in the rear veiw of someone ahead of you that your gunna eat 'em if they don't get the heck outta' da' way. :)

All in all IMO I'd give that front cover (with the crosshair's) an 8 out of 10.
Keep in mind, this is the first 8 I have given' out. The other 2 I have seen I only gave a 6.

I feel Dodge did a very good design on the Super Bee front cover. That is by far my fav. Plus it is in the fastest color right out of the showroom. :)

looks damn good. just depends on the look you're going for. keep in mind ppl, most bodykits lower the car somewhat significantly, thats what makes it look better. i think the charger has a damn good lookin front end already, especially the SRT8. i think the second kit with the crosshairs doesnt look too good. the crosshairs are too small. if ur gonna keep the crosshairs they gotta be the same size as they are on the charger now. personally, i think the charger would be suited best with a nice lip kit. nothing too subtle tho. its gotta be clean and agressive. thats my thoughts.

No need to cry, young man. It was just a smiley on an internet forum.

Just thought it was funny that you posted a question asking for a link when the link was already posted on the same page you posted on (and suposedly were reading).

I clicked the link in post #24, and there was a picture of a Charger with the aforementioned grill on it, so I clicked on that, and there were more pictures and a link to "Order this body kit (http://www.griptuning.com/showProductAction.do?partNum=GT438)".

So 3 clicks and you would have had your answer, without a senseless post.

Hence the :bored: smiley.

I have decided that as soon as my bumper gets screwed up enough, or enough paint chips, I am going to buy this front end. It is by far the best looking front end I have seen on this car.
