I bought my 2015 Challenger RT Plus this past Saturday. I'm loving every second of it too! I had a 2013 Charger. My idea was to just buy new wheels and tires for my Charger last Saturday. Mission accomplished...I definitely got my new wheels. Cheers, Scott
3 years and still love it like the first day! Challengers just never get old. We had our first cruise/Meet and Greet just this past weekend.
Welcome to the forum! Those are some unique wheels. Never seen that type of style on a Challenger. Looks pretty good! Any other mods you plan on putting on?
Yeah, I actually really liked the wheels. I'm a pretty straight laced wheel guy. I love a nice clean 5 spoke wheel. But these had just enough "edge" on them to make them work for me. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the fact that they aren't very wide. I like the cars stance (maybe just a tad high), but the wheels have too much of a pedestrian look from the back. I'm not sure on any mods as of yet. I'll probably look into a cai and maybe a catback exhaust but I've been reading a lot on the issue of drone with these automatics. The one thing that I know I'll do first is fix my front bumper. I choose not to run with a front plate. Before I do that however, I need to fix all the holes the dealer so graciously put into the bumper. I've had my fair share of Camaros and corvettes and have been a member of their forums. It's a great place to kick ideas around and get helpful advice. I appreciate the welcome and look forward to being a participating member. -Scott
After you fix your front bumper, you may want to install your front license plate in a lower location to avoid problems with the police. Here is what I did, along with many others: Items needed (can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes): 1 pair 6-inch 1/4" spring toggle bolts 1 factory front plate bracket black rubber tubing 1 Phillips screwdriver Installation (10 minutes): 1.) Remove the spring toggles from the bolts and insert the bolts in the top 2 holes of the plate bracket. Replace the spring toggles (make sure they open towards the rear of the bracket - otherwise they will pull through the grille). 2.) Turn the license plate bracket upside down so that the bottom of the "v" notch of the plate bracket is lined up with with the center line of the front valence where it meets the chin spoiler. 3.) Take each bolt and push it through a top hole in the black plastic grille on each side of the bracket. You will want to line these up so they are straight before you push them all the way through. 4.) Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten each bolt until the bracket is secure against the front valence. (Be careful not to over tighten the bolts to the point where you crack your plastic grille). 5.) Install slit rubber tubing over the bolt threads and the edges of the license plate frame to prevent scuffing. Works great!

Not a bad idea. However, my concern would be restricted air flow to the radiator. On the 2013/2014 Shelby GT500s they removed the grill completely leaving the radiator open with no cover at all to enhance the amount of air flow. I would never have thought a grill would make that much difference. The license plate holder blocks a significant portion of the lower grill with this mod.
I, along with many others, have had this mod for several years and never experienced overheating. The location of the license plate would only be a negative factor if you are racing your car on an autocross-type track.
