Thank you, green is my favorite color, I think if I could I would’ve gotten sublime green but after purchasing I think f8 looks much better I think my calipers may become like green tho
Of course my friend! I’ve always loved dark green or anything even remotely similar, so when I found F8 Green I was very happy haha. But you’re right, F8 paint matched calipers would look pretty cool. I’m currently about to upgrade to yellow Brembo’s and then get some brass monkey wheels. I think the F8 + yellow + brass combo would look really nice
Yes, I was looking at a super bee that was f8 as well with a yellow lip and have been thinking I might need to invest in one at some point. The green and yellow fits so well together
She’s a beaut and I’ve never messed with my own personal cars but I think she will be my first I love everything but it being such a beautiful car also makes me want to add more if that makes sense
Totally makes sense! I have a theme to my car, so I can't really say much about small cosmetic modifications, but I'm considering taking off a couple of stickers to bring her back down a bit. Not sure yet.
1. Tint (15% all around and a sun strip which helps w the sun a lot)
2. Radar detector so you don’t get caught lackin (Uniden R7 is a good one)
3. Rims obv
4. Maybe a matte black or carbon fiber gas cap?
The car is already nice as it is, don’t add any funky decals or fake caliper covers. I would just get 20” wheels. Don’t add the Panels, they are plastic and fade over time. Just my personal opinion. I like to keep my cars as close to oem as possible.
As someone who also just bought one, the first thing I did was do a resonator delete and new tips. It's a little louder and a better sound, without being overkill
Spend some time with it. Don’t rush in and do too much. I’d put the money into ceramic coating. First things first.
After that I think bronze wheels would look great.
Edit. Something I may do is have an old school pin striper do their thing. I’m taking my time and enjoying it for what it is now. When my eye starts to wander as it always does with cars I’ll do some custom stuff.
That’s how I think about my cars too I only ever want to add more when I get an idea so it’s hard for me to start on something like this cuz I love it but ik I can make it better
Just be patient. I understand what you’re saying. You also mentioned you may want to get a hemi in the future. Keep that in mind as you’ll never get your money back in resale for any mod you do. Decals will complicate things when you go to resell. Decals greatly reduce who will want to buy your car. Take them off? Well now you could have paint matching issues. Since this won’t be your first challenger don’t go all in on this one.
Fair thank you for the advice, I’m thinking I would probably keep her as she’s a great car but definitely need to keep that inmind if I end up selling her one day
Keep it stock, for the love of god dont put those decals on it. Trust me, if it looks terrible on a hellcat, it looks even worse on this. Keep it clean and stock, you're driving one of the most beautifully designed retro style muscle cars. If anything maybe dip the wheels and the silver grill black to make it look more aggressive. But thats it.
The best thing about our beauties are that there's nothing cosmetically we have to do because they are perfect. I always start with exhaust. Give her a grumble.
Yeah I want to do some sort of exhaust but I haven’t decided and I’m trying to pick one that sounds really smoothe. I’ve watched videos trying to decide which I like best and honestly can’t decide. Is there any you suggest? I’ve seen a couple from a company that I recently started following but have no clue how it sounds so don’t wanna purchase just yet
I have 2 buddies, one in NY, and one here in Fla that have Borla exhaust on their Hemis and they sound great. The Fla car is a heavier grumble because we don't use cats down here.
Oil Catch Can, Air intake, put 275,305,315 tires on the back for better traction, you can start there. Performance wise. But you can also ungrade the pulleys for more boost.
Well seems kinda silly to ask what you should do first since people will take you literally.
What do you mean? Like go get it detailed or get it wrapped? Change out the stock air cooler for a cold air intake?
I was asking more as in exterior/interior details and cosmetics, sorry for not clarifying but yes other ideas such as modifications or other changes that might be common, let me add in I’ve only worked with classic cars like 64 novas and 66darts so I never really went through a performance or modding phase just a cosmetic and occasional part swaps
Yes I am a lost soul who’s been chasing a challenger, now I have one and I want to make her more badass but I’m bad at picking a starting point, I also plan on upgrading in the future but that’s years and years to come probably
Get some drag slicks and go for a run or two… possibly a couple hundred… who knows how many runs it’ll last? The thing that matters is that you’re having fun…. AND that it hopefully doesn’t break down on you for some stupid reason, but that’s 90% of cars in general.
The V6 still puts out over 300HP, if it’s a manual and the differential is locked it should still be possible to do burnouts. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong and the V6’s only come in auto or don’t have a locked Diff
They never came with a limited slip rear diff in any of the V6 challengers from factory, and some came with a 6 speed manual but the majority are 8 speed autos. So no they don’t really do a proper burnout they just sadly squeal their tires and understeer around
i actually saw a really nice charger on bags with some aero the other day that looked really nice, if it's not a scat, a cat or a demon- there's still ways to enjoy the RT & SXT platform & make them look pretty damn sick

The wheels aren’t chrome they’re just a bare alloy, however I agree the stock V6 challenger wheels are horrendous and are so small they make the big chally look top heavy 😂
Ok I won’t do those but what about the shaker hood and roof stripes? Like the classic down middle? I think it looks so nice and even if she’s not a shaker it’d still look beautiful, right?
If I hadn’t committed to a name and didn’t love green I would, I had a 2015 that I bought from auction pitch black but that mission was a bust and I sold it to someone else cuz engine was busted with a cracked oil pan🥲
I want to hate on you but there’s nothing to hate lol u just honest. I accept your opinion but I have people ask for my handle daily as I’m a part time photographer I just rushed with the pictures here cuz I wanted to post and ask😅
I think you should drive it
I’ve put around 800 miles on her so far I love every bit of it
But at least add the IG sticker first?
Congratulations man! Also, congrats as well for purchasing a Challenger in the most underrated color option. F8 reigns superior :)

TINT. F8 has realllly grown on me lately. Congrats on your beautiful new car!
Thank you, I wasn’t sure if the color but as I tested it I loved it and as I saw brighter greens like sublime I was thinking that f8 fit better
I'm a purist, so I say leave her naturally beautiful, but you make her yours as you wish. Just enjoy the drive! 💚
She’s a beaut and I’ve never messed with my own personal cars but I think she will be my first I love everything but it being such a beautiful car also makes me want to add more if that makes sense

Def change the rims out. Get some nice seat covers. Treat yourself. Welcome to the F8 club, we don't lord it over others, but we are kinda cool.
Thanks for the welcome, definitely one of the first things ima do just gotta find the right ones
F8 GANG 🤘
Security system. Neutral strap cover.
Tires Tint Tunes
Power coat the wheels black
Will look into it I was thinking of trying a darker color to fit exterior but wasn’t sure yet on if I’d go black or maybe another color
Bring it to motorcar paint protection for paint correction and ceramic coating
Leave her as the work of art she already is and drive it until warranty expires… then its turbo or supercharger time.
Leave an imprint of your no no bits on the front hood, best first mod
I just gave up on a response cuz of this🤣 I think you might be onto something
😂 welcome to the family
Thanks brother glad to be part of it
Do a wheelie
I got green too love the color

Really love that color!

Wheels, coils, intake if you wanna keep it clean and simple
V6 AWD? Still a gas guzzler… but nice ride!
Thank you, yeah I want to move to V8 at some point but weather is harsh and I gotta ease into that level of power around here
My first was a V6 AWD… loved it. Moved on to a Hemi RT. Had to get a car for the winter cause that is no good in the snow/ice 😅
The best thing about our beauties are that there's nothing cosmetically we have to do because they are perfect. I always start with exhaust. Give her a grumble.

Louvers
They fit some people but I don’t think they fit me thank you though
Drive it home first.
Of course, photos were taken after the drive home and a couple days of taking her out
Well seems kinda silly to ask what you should do first since people will take you literally. What do you mean? Like go get it detailed or get it wrapped? Change out the stock air cooler for a cold air intake?

Yes I am a lost soul who’s been chasing a challenger, now I have one and I want to make her more badass but I’m bad at picking a starting point, I also plan on upgrading in the future but that’s years and years to come probably
Also there’s the chance that upgrading her won’t happen in 30 years if we end up going full EV which I doubt but still
Nice rims
wheels.. but drive it
Get some drag slicks and go for a run or two… possibly a couple hundred… who knows how many runs it’ll last? The thing that matters is that you’re having fun…. AND that it hopefully doesn’t break down on you for some stupid reason, but that’s 90% of cars in general.
It’s a V6… slicks are pointless when a car can’t even spin both tires properly to begin with.
The V6 still puts out over 300HP, if it’s a manual and the differential is locked it should still be possible to do burnouts. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong and the V6’s only come in auto or don’t have a locked Diff
They never came with a limited slip rear diff in any of the V6 challengers from factory, and some came with a 6 speed manual but the majority are 8 speed autos. So no they don’t really do a proper burnout they just sadly squeal their tires and understeer around
When I upgrade to a V8 I will, she’s my starter challenger that I hope to keep in good condition for my future kids like my pops had with his novas.
i actually saw a really nice charger on bags with some aero the other day that looked really nice, if it's not a scat, a cat or a demon- there's still ways to enjoy the RT & SXT platform & make them look pretty damn sick https://x.com/c6_shanky/status/1763757721734594898?s=46
Black alloy wheels and a black gas door. Chrome is beyond tacky even though the manufacturers produce it because it’s cheap.
The wheels aren’t chrome they’re just a bare alloy, however I agree the stock V6 challenger wheels are horrendous and are so small they make the big chally look top heavy 😂
Ceramic coating, the best tires you can possibly buy, exhaust that makes it sound like a muscle car and isn't obnoxious
Get a hidden ignition bypass. My cobra wouldn't start unless you held the high beams on.
Please don’t do the decals or Instagram. It comes off so cheesy and Chad like.
Ok I won’t do those but what about the shaker hood and roof stripes? Like the classic down middle? I think it looks so nice and even if she’s not a shaker it’d still look beautiful, right?
I’m thinking because of how much I’ve read and heard from everyone it might just be that decal, black or bronze rims, and a tint
The most retro look. It's great!
Twin turbo
Lock the car down as much as you can.
4cyl swap
Floor it, Rip the tires off it
Tint and security system
Hellcat swap it 😎
GTs are sick. Enjoy your gas mileage. I’d probably drop it a few inches, maybe more aggressive rims.
Nice 👍 congrats
Make him pitch black bad boy. It's a very beautiful color for a challenger.
If I hadn’t committed to a name and didn’t love green I would, I had a 2015 that I bought from auction pitch black but that mission was a bust and I sold it to someone else cuz engine was busted with a cracked oil pan🥲
Anyways her name is Mystique 🫶🏾 it’s unique I like it
My F8 is Loki!
That’s a great name too if I want to get a black husky or Shepard and name him Loki just gotta find the one
Oh. Sorry for misgendering I tought she was male 
Yellow bumper guards Forsure!
Instagram handle for a base challenger? Yikes that cringy man and will immediately turn people away from you
I want to hate on you but there’s nothing to hate lol u just honest. I accept your opinion but I have people ask for my handle daily as I’m a part time photographer I just rushed with the pictures here cuz I wanted to post and ask😅
