[08 Stoned Charger]

:bowdown:That entire front clip is awesome!!!:bowdown:

[The Tran]

Wow....

I saw the previous renderings and I wasnt quite sure how I'd like it.

I love this man! Great job!

[wrestlingnrj]

OH MY GOD! It's going to be EPIC! That is freakin awesome! Having your rear spoiler molded onto the rear like that makes it look even better than it all ready does.

[black08]

The whole car looks GREAT!

[Gladiator]

Freaking crazy.

[MoPower]

OH MY GOD! It's going to be EPIC! That is freakin awesome! Having your rear spoiler molded onto the rear like that makes it look even better than it all ready does.

Thanks!, BTW, the rear spoiler is not moulded in at all, look again. the bumble bee stripe comes to the very edge of the spoiler, and camoflauges the seam.

[charger08srt]

i'm speechless :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

[AWD_Gabe]

That looks cool but I'm still not sure how I feel about the front-end look with the headlights uncovered ... the 2 round ones look kinda out of place in there ...

[Mik3y]

Sweet ride.
Are you planning to make this real? I know you already make a bunch of stuff thats
already on the car pictures.

[toycrypt]

I just died and went to heaven. Somebody wake me up, this must be a dream! WOW!:rocker::bigthumb:

[Matt400]

I will be at the SEMA auto show Tues-Thurs if anyone wants to meet up, enjoy!Bummer, I won't get there till Friday. Were you going to have this prototype there?

[DaBlackPearl]

Very nice!! :clap: I like the black & blue. This is one sharp looking ride Mo!! :clap:

[MoPower]

Sweet ride.
Are you planning to make this real? I know you already make a bunch of stuff thats
already on the car pictures.
Yes, I will make this entire package, most of the rest of the car besides the nose is either done or started.

No, just me, I'm going to meet up with HXC to talk about the new challenger shaker we will be providing.

[mprmnc]

A Challenger shaker, NOW THAT IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR. I love the new front end too. I need to start saving!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wishing for hemi]

[spenosk8er]

[nickinfleet]

mo that looks amazing!

[DogdeR/TCharger]

That looks awsome. I am so down for that front end. cant wait to see the car done.

[Northrok5seven]

the whole car is a work of art, but that front end... :banana_hitit:

[moparmike610]

I want the fenders and the clip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's awesome :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

[XLR8]

This is how the car should have looked from the beginning. Amazing!

This is how the car should have looked from the beginning. Amazing!I have to agree, way back at this post (http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1337588&postcount=928) I wasn't liking it much but now...well its really sweet looking.
I wonder what headlights will be used?
Good job Mo! :bigthumb:

Thinking about some late model BMW round lights, maybe ones with halos, any ideas?

[DaytonaCris]

that is sick!!! cant wait to see a real pic!

[torred1771]

i like the orange better, id still have to see it in person to make sure i like it

[narmstrong79]

Do you have any idea what the front end and fenders will cost ...I need to start saving

[turbobuckeye]

The front end is cool, but you know gotta put a MoPower lip spoiler on it too. :)

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd110/dankoreproductions/Zmisc/r1.jpg

[Hoodie]

That is one sick a$$ charger right there.. Wow..

The front end is cool, but you know gotta put a MoPower lip spoiler on it too. :)

Looks like the lip spoiler is molded into the front fascia replacement.. Looks sick all the way around..

[turbobuckeye]

Yeah, I just looked at the pic again and it does look like the lip spoiler is on there. Good catch! :yes:

That is one cool looking ride.

[m_patt]

I would buy that today! I need one!

[HemiPowered5700]

I want it.

[youngzayiles]

sexy sexy I love that front clip!!

[BANANA2387]

Where can I buy one?

[rush]

Why din't Chrysler make it that way in the first place That's totally awesome !!!!

[rush]

Tho only thing I would like to see defferent is the stripe should lay back towards the bottom like on a 70 dart swinger it would follow the body line better just a minner complaint however . I still think it's completely AWESOME

[Charger Marc]

Very, Very nice! Love the wheels to, can anyone photoshop that in sublime??

How about nose / wing of a old daytona now that the rest of the car is retroish??

[BENISASPUD]

those look great. pm me. I'll be in SEMA too.

[funk doctor]

so when will one of those really exist?

That front fascia is to die for....especially on the General Lee version.

[Mr.Roper]

Love it...but will there be an option for a chrome grill?
Would love to see a rendering in Inferno Red

[Ezcorpion]

Looks sik!!!

Anybody know if you can swap the Challenger headlights onto a Charger without alot of extra work?

I want to buy one of those front clips!!!

[narmstrong79]

Any EST on the price for the front and fenders?

[Xscmurcielago]

wanna trade for a bitchen stone white R/T ? :bigthumb:

[spenosk8er]

looking at those challenger headlights they seem to be too big to "flip over" they would need to be smaller, like in the rendering

[turbobuckeye]

Maybe use sliding door headlights instead of the flip open headlights? Just a thought......

[Richie_Rich]

WOW!

That front end looks great.
Once you set a price, I'll be saving up.

The Challenger lights look like they would be a good fit too.

[nickinfleet]

that would be sweet to put a challenger front end on the charger. kinda like what stitchmonkey did to his maggie with the 300 front end.

[turbobuckeye]

that would be sweet to put a challenger front end on the charger. kinda like what stitchmonkey did to his maggie with the 300 front end.

I think that's the exact reason why I like Mo's front clip so much. It reminds me of the Challenger. :yes:

Mo's front end would look sick on the Challenger too!!!

[grey1]

That is awesome. I love the front covered.

[buzzzz]

any pics of the car at sema???????

[MoPower]

any pics of the car at sema???????

I did not bring a car to SEMA, because it is not finished yet

[buzzzz]

ha, sorry my bad, well i cant wait to see it thou!!!!!!!

[NummThumz]

Anxiously awaiting the finished product. It looks great so far!

[narmstrong79]

we close to finished products and est cost

[wishing for hemi]

mo said origionaly around 2k for the front 500-600 for the fenders. those are only estimates that he gave a month ago

[narmstrong79]

:clap:

MO - when are you taking orders

[MoPower]

:clap:

MO - when are you taking orders

Not til the moulds are done.

[ChargerSublime]

This front end rocks !! cant wait to see it on the Sublime !!

[bpd1151]

Whoa, who has this hood design available?? Or is it photoshop work? Either way, looks cool as hell.

I've seen about 5 or 6 different hood designs, most that I think look cool, but none enough so to make me part with a cool stack out of my wallet.

Now this one on the other hand may change that........

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q176/HazmanAvatarKing/Renders2/Trojan02b.jpg

In a CHARGER application ofcourse........

That Challenger belongs to Trojan over on lxforums. Not sure how he got the hood or where he got it from but its real. His ride was on display at SEMA.

Mo, sorry for the hi-jack! :(

[narmstrong79]

Not til the moulds are done.

In case my car come back not totaled ...i want this front end

any ETA

[We Are Venom]

I'm saving my pennies now and telling Santa this is what I want next year.

[MIAboi1221]

Is the gass tank cap really going to be on the top if so it looks insane. (And I mean that as a compliment) :)

[MoPower]

Absolutley, but there will be alittle cutting of holes in the quarter to re-route the new gas hoses. I'm not expecting the rear quarters to be a big seller, but I really want them for my car.

I feel people will realize the fact that they perfectly complement the front fenders...

[TheDarkKnight]

That is Bad A**!

[Gladiator]

Any updates on this? Price? Availability? Anyone feel like photoshopping this in black?:D

[falconma]

[Gladiator]

What? A photoshop request goes unanswered around here? I expected completion in about half an hour.:D

[spenosk8er]

there is a render in black... search the original smoke 3d rendering on lxforums... there is a black one and a yellow one

[falconma]

I belive that black one had the old lip spoiler on it. Seems the front end has been updated since then.

[We Are Venom]

so when will this beautiful design become a reality?

[fourseasonsandles]

I love it! Id like to see this on someones car!

[Fe2O3-E]

I would be happy to give up my Daytona as a prototype. :santa:

[XStealth6]

will this kit be a full light hideaway front conversion?

[wishing for hemi]

man just spent my fender money on a stall converter but hopefully will have the money for the whole deal when all comes available one way or another i will get this even if i have to serve a couple years making liscense plates before i get to drive it lol

[capridrifter]

Oh my god....that is so hot I can't wait to see the finished product!

[spenosk8er]

any news on the fender molds?!

[Alexcharger07]

bump on any new news

Hottest exterior mods on the market......IMO!!!:rocker:

Spring is coming soon! I need a reason to spend some mod money. :D

Any updates on progress?? looks like several of us are waiting on this awesome new style.

No, that was Smoke's first try at a 3D model of my original photoshop below. Since then I believe we have greatly improved the design (JMO). A giant fiberglass lower spoiler like in the cardomain pic would probably be a menace to maintain.

I agree, your design is much better. :bigthumb:

I stare at those rendering graphics all the time. That is so awesome.

Hey Mo, if you get pre-order commitments would it speed up the process??

Thanks. But I hate taking money for things I don't have yet,since I would have to spend it. that's a BAAAAD idea...unless of course If I knew the Obama administration would bail me out if I got too far in debt then I would do it.

[Houston_Hemi]

...unless of course If I knew the Obama administration would bail me out if I got too far in debt then I would do it.

Perhaps your project would qualify as a "ready to work" program... Time to start a petition.

We could argue that you are creating a product that many people would purchase. Something better than what Dodge originally developed :O

[DeekDaddy]

im in....were to sign?

[MoPower]

I really appreciate the enthusiasm, and belive me, it only strengthens my resolutions to get this done quickly, so no need to send money, just keep me motivated!

[Pyrate]

stay motivated on that shaker for the V6 tooooooo

[Merkules]

Bump!!!!!!

[Bane]

I set aside a chunk of cash for this, hoping to see it within the year!

[Gladiator]

Motivation? Rabid dogs? Tigers? Sharks? Electro shock? Or are we talking pride and money? Make this thing dude.:D

[spenosk8er]

I set aside a chunk of cash for this, hoping to see it within the year!

ditto! I literally have my danko front end / fender pile of money saved up :rocker:

[Pyrate]

exciting times man. Glad you got some help

So there is still hope for summer 09. :bigthumb:

[danaM]

If the final product looks like the pics, I think this is the way to go for me instead of getting a chally or 2011 new model charger.

D a n a

[danaM]

SO Mo, there will be some degree of an angle in the front? You know a point like the factory bumper and grill? I like the way the nose comes to a point. Or will the nose just be flat across? The pics look like you keep the point on the bumper and I know pics of the chargr bumper never really reflect how it looks in person.

Lemme no!

It does come to a point, it will be exactly like the picture, it is a 3D computer model that works, no guesswork here.

I notice the summer 09 comment was ignored. :D

[Alexcharger07]

yes pittsburgh is intristed !

[Gladiator]

I told you this thing was hot Alex.

[2 sik 4 ya]

any body knows wat the price range

[Gladiator]

It's too far out yet for a solid price he told me. I'd guess between $1500 and $2500.

[Gladiator]

For the front clip that is...

[danaM]

1500 to 2500 unpainted? I know this convo is all too early but makes for good posting and reading. :-)

D a n a

[Gladiator]

That's a consistent price with other stuff he sells.

[MoPower]

That's a consistent price with other stuff he sells.

Absolutely, the plastic grille work is the most complicated and expensive part of the kit.

[kcb10029]

Are they going to flip open and closed?

[Gladiator]

That's what the 3D rendering says they'll do and he said that it's 100% accurate so probably.

[kcb10029]

That is awesome..

[UPSslave]

There should be an 18+ age requirement to view these renderings. Those front fenders just provoked a mess in my frontal pants region. :love:

The rear right quarter doesn't change, does it? Just the gas side? I'll take everything but the spoiler & shaker hood. The chally hood is still calling my name.

I would like to cast a vote for carbon fiber as well.

The front fenders aren't functional, right? Just sexy?

Both rear fenders are flared, the fenders will have a functional option at a later date.

[UPSslave]

Awesome. Will they connect to the intake somehow? Or will they let air in to reduce the ambient temp under the hood?
Thanks for creating such beauties. If only you could make my mobile home (which is worth about 1/2 my Charger) look as bad a$$ as my car. :slap:

the vents will be heat extractors for the engine bay

[carmodeler340]

Just a thought,but wouldn't it be cool if the doors in the grill were see through so halos could be seen shining through.Halos behind that grill would be killer cool. As I said,just a thought.

[Gladiator]

How do the lights work? Does the whole assembly flip or is it just a door that moves?

[tomcat53]

Can't wait for this front clip to be available for purchase... amazing work! Keep us posted.

[Grave.Digger]

Is there turn signals on the front?

[LoneStar]

This has been hyped for so long I'm getting bored with it. I'll wait to see "real" pics of the finished product before looking for my check book. I wish you guys luck but I'm not holding my breath on this one.

[narmstrong79]

was these ever released?

No. It isn't done yet.

This will be the BEST mod ever for the Charger! Mo is a true artist, art takes time.:bigthumb:

[2 sik 4 ya]

is there a time table

[Gladiator]

Yeah. 2009. :D

[2 sik 4 ya]

were are in 2009 i better start saving up

[zignotzag]

I keep eyeballing the deep dish open and split grills, but this here look like it might be worth just waiting for. I have my major danko mod to play with this year. Have to see how things come along and what the pricing will look like.

[Gladiator]

I feel that. The open mouth grill is great but this will be a whole different level if it looks as good in real life as the pics do.

[bawls SRT8]

thats incredible, you are a genius, the second this is released u will have my money

:alfdance:

[CLJ17]

Awesome! I will want one also! Maybe a group buy is in order here! Let's get it on the street so you can sell more!

[Anguish]

the vents will be heat extractors for the engine bay

What I'd like to know is... is this going to be modular? I'm personally only interested in the front fenders. If the lines still mate with the OEM fascia and hood, that would make very strongly for a sale. I've never considered any body work beyond the SRT hood and fascia I wedged on my R/T, but those fenders... must... have.

Yes, the fenders and all of our parts can all be used independently

[NightMare R/T]

I'm with anguish. I really really really really really want the mopower fenders you used to post pics of.

[Gladiator]

Can't really go wrong with those fenders. Wonder how it's coming along.

[Anguish]

Can't really go wrong with those fenders. Wonder how it's coming along.

I've had a long day working remotely from home, so I've been trolling the web wider and wider and wider to save off unconsciousness as I've waited for hourglasses. (I'm an IT guy doing a server rollout and am importing user data into a new serve farm.) On another forum that I haven't visted in a year, I found a post from MoPower this month where he said he was moving the car into the middle of his shop to mould both fenders. So it's still work in progress.

Still. I can wait.

I'd just like to know. If the fenders will be individually available, I'll budget. Otherwise I'll stop paying attention.

I could not agree with you more. :yes: That's the same place I am at on this. :bigthumb:

I'll let Mo give the final word on the fenders. But, I am fairly certain the fenders will work with the stock front end.

You guys crack me up. Have a great night fellas!:beerchug:

[Gladiator]

It's funny. I feel the same way but about the front end. The fenders are nice but not a must.

[Anguish]

It's funny. I feel the same way but about the front end. The fenders are nice but not a must.

See... I've got an R/T R&T that I spent thousands of dollars on to have the SRT8 fascia and hood installed. I want a very aggressive and choppy front end. Those two parts have a lot of compound curves and holes and vents. The fenders in my opinion would make the front end that much more... jagged. You've already got an SRT, so you're looking for different.

That's my guess.

[Gladiator]

Yep. Different. Like I've said a hundred times. 3D renderings are nice but I'm not going to get crazy until I see it on a real car.

[NightMare R/T]

well if you get it can I have your srt front clip....pretty plz

it won't be ready till sometime next year. i would guess before or during next summer. i'm in need of a new fascia, but i'm willing to wait it out. i know this can be a long process to create and i know he's a perfectionist. i feel for you Mo, keep us posted. you've got an amazing vision.

I'd definitely be interested in the front end for my R/T :bigthumb:

I just hope chrysler doesn't do something smart and make the next Charger to look like this. Next summer might be too late for this product if that's the case.

i wouldn't worry about chrysler doing anything. especially adding a new look. the last thing they want to do is add new inventory.

I agree, and I don't think the designers at Chrysler could bring themselves that low as to copy my design since it's been publicized already and since designers are usually artists who like to do their own thing. Even if they tried, the bean counters would ruin it..LOL ha ha, no bean counted working for me!!!

So... would you agree that we should consider in the realm of 12 months from now realistic for product availability? My point being that I don't know if I should be budgeting for potentially a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, or a decade from now. I certainly have no intention of holding you to a guess, but hearing what order of magnitude you think is likely would be helpful for a lot of us, methinks.

Thanks.

I wouldn't count them out if its a hot look and they think it will sell cars. They do need to sell some cars. Don't forget that they did snag the "legmaker" wheel mod from the forums and the "side-molding" delete.

True, its less likely they would grab this one due to cost, but just saying....

Freakin SIICK!! :rockon: :rocker:

I was saying that based on the popularity of this thread and the large number of photoshops on the Internet speculating the next gen charger might have a look along these lines. With the release of the challenger, camarro and even the constant popularity of the mustang it is clear people want retro looks with a modern package which wasn't as clear back in 04 and 05 when our cars were designed.

[MikeGfilms]

that is so sick, really unique!

Well, let me put it this way, it would take me about a month to finish the nose once started and when I start on a project this exciting to me I usually work insane hours to finish it. Threrefore, as soon as I get a break, I will run for it and who knows what will be after that, it could be very soon, or a year, but the intentions are as soon as I clear out the projects I have already started, which are going fast now. I just finished the honeycomb insert for the 69 style grille on Friday and just recently finished the honeycomb insert for the 68 grille and the honeycomb shaker grille inserts. I will very shortly be making the fender moulds that are waiting for me and after that is the nose.

Fair enough. I read that as "I don't know". I'll try to sit on some money for this as I definitely want to slap those fenders on my car.

Thank you for the info.

BRING IT ON!!!!!!! I have wanted this front clip since you first posted the original renderings years ago. Only thing, in production, why can't the original headlights be what is behind those doors not those round ones... that's the only thing I didn't like about this last rendering. Never saw the actual sema car so... don't know what you really decided... looking for those pics now...

[Gladiator]

I'd also like to know how the turn signals work.

[Backwoods]

Bump for obvious sweetness.

Progress report?! :O

[MoPower]

I'd also like to know how the turn signals work.

They will be wired into the fog lights and probably have optional fog lights inside the lower grille opening

[Tor-Rojo]

Any news, updates,and or photos of how the front end is coming along... I'm thinking of trading in the charger for a challenger... but if this thing comes out, i will defenetly keep the charger for at least annother 18 months...

[Hemi God]

Very interested in completion as well. This is prolly the best a charger has ever looked. Anxiously awaiting availability.

[Gladiator]

Mo is there going to be a 68 version of this as well when you finally release it?

[MoPower]

I'd say so, I love both styles and it would be pretty easy to do.

[Gladiator]

That's awesome. I like the 69 front end a ton but I prefer 68.

[spenosk8er]

list for fenders... :http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41346&page=108&highlight=danko

[bahrainmike]

if you start selling that front clip sign me up for one........awesome especially the General Lee.......make it and bill me :-)

[turbobuckeye]

Still watching and still interested..... :yes:

[WrenchHead]

Now that is a sweet design!
Old school, definately the way to go.

[Tor-Rojo]

any news on front end.... a possible date maybe.... please....

[spenosk8er]

check the fender thread... thats the one thats getting all the updates now

[MoPower]

No dates for you, sorry!!!! I will tell you however that is will probably come as a surprise when it is almost done since I'm not wanting too much attention on this at this point. That is why I rarely bump this thread.

[WVROB]

Mo;
i am new to the sight. Bought my SRT8 in Jan after i got back from Iraq. I love what you did with the retro design. What would it run for a plain old wrench turner guy like me to put all that together, to replicate what you created.

[LoneStar]

The thread is titled with "2009". The only thing that would surprise me is if you actually completed this in 2009. Good luck Bro but I think this has been hyped more that Obama's "change" and we all see how that is going.

[Tor-Rojo]

Any news on front end... I wreked my RT and need a new fascia... If this thing is out... That would be a lifesaver...

Thanks Bro

[Tor-Rojo]

anythin yet???

[Tor-Rojo]

front en news???

It will be atleast a month until I'm done with the rear widebody, then I'll move on to the nose.

[Tor-Rojo]

ane news on front end, now that the wide body is done?

[FTFDAYTONA]

ane news on front end, now that the wide body is done?

the news is he will start on it WHEN THE WIDE BODY IS DONE... it will be at least another month before that is done, the wide body is not done yet!

The more you ask the more he should charge you...

[Here'sJohnny]

soooooooo..... aparently they missed sema by a long shot... they aren't even done with wide body yet and the fascia that everyone wants is not even started on yet... Now they are supposedly redesigning the charger's looks so it probably won't work on newer models making it less likely to be put in production... this sucks.... Wide body's great and all but how many people go to that extensive of body work even after getting a kit... I mean you have to glue and bondo this thing to your doors and blend it into the replacement fenders right... fascia is relatively easy swap so much more popular... where is the business sense in wide body...

[lovin' it]

That thing looks hideous.

Don't try to make business sense out of it, it's more of a hobby as far as I'm concerned. The plan is that in the future, I will be building custom chargers on my spare time and I need all of the pieces to do them the way I like, but obviously the widebody is not for everybody.
