    The new shaker models should start arriving at dealerships soon. These are two initial-run cars at the Jefferson North Plant on Conner Street in Detroit. What looks better, with stripes or without? I would order one without the stripes because I prefer the 1970-71 look. What about the color-keyed front grill and the word" Shaker" on the hood scoop instead of 345 c.i.? ("Hemi" is on the fender, like the Chrysler 300s and Dodge Chargers).

    Got to see one in person probably another 3 months before I see one at the dealers, and even "Assembled in Canada" . lol
    Really not sure about the color front grill on a high impact colored, pics on the internet don't do anything for me. Just have to wait and see. But if one of the members on here can get a couple good pics that would be great.

    Here is a photo showing the front grill. I don't care for the color-keyed look.

    Ordering a shaker at the dealer is going to cut out a lot of the after market people that sell shaker kits.

    It may depend on price.

    Yeah, not in the high impact colors for sure.
    I would think that if you bought the "Shaker System" from Mopar that it would be an
    aluminum hood , no hood pins needed, and fit the way it should. I'm very happy with the fit of the Mopar T/A hood I put on last spring.
    And as usual the prices you southerners pay is at least 30% less than what I would pay up here. lol

    Cervini's probably doesn't like the news. If I ordered one it would be without the stripes and not all that fond of the color matching either. Still, glad to see Dodge coming up with some other options for those with differing opinions.

    Not a fan of the stripes or the grill. Both seem a little over the top.
