Dodge Challenger R/T Gets an Altitude and Attitude Adjustment
Owner of this particular 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T gave it just the right amount of mods to set it apart from the pack.
While we often tend to focus on vehicular modifications such as body kits and big horsepower upgrades, there are more subtle ways to take your build to the next level. That much is clearly evident from taking a glance at Robert Self‘s 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T, which has been treated to a few simple mods that give it a bit of an altitude and attitude adjustment, as we can see in this latest Customer Builds feature video from American Muscle.
Self hasn’t done anything crazy to this 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T but did equip it with enough cool mods that it caught the attention of a lot of people on American Muscle‘s Customer Builds feed that the parts-selling experts decided to dive a bit further into the build. Self has been a fan of the modern Challenger since it launched years ago, as it reminded him of the muscle car glory days of the 1970s. However, there were a few subtle ways he figured he could improve upon Dodge’s excellent design.
That started with the installation of Eibach lowering springs, which help eliminate that unsightly wheel well gap and aid in the handling department as well. They also hunker the car down over a set of bronze Hellcat wheels that measure in at 20×9.5 inches in the front and 20×10.5 inches in the rear. Those wheels are wrapped with 255/30 rubber in the front and 295/30 series tires in the rear for a very muscular appearance.
Self further enhanced the looks of his Challenger with a matte black SRT-style rear spoiler before turning his attention to the interior, where he added a set of Lloyd Velourtex front floor mats with Dodge logos for appearance’s sake. Under the hood, Self kept things simple once again by adding a pair of simple but useful mods – a JLT 3.0 black oil separator and an Injen Evolution cold air intake with an oiled filter.
Altogether, it’s easy to see why Self’s Challenger has attracted so much attention at AM‘s site – it’s a good-looking car with just the right amount of mods to set it apart from the pack. And sometimes, that’s a better approach than going completely overboard, at least in our humble opinion.
