Default SRT bumper cover question ??

I was out in Tampa tonight and I noticed an SRT but something confused the heck out of me .. It had a different nose on it. From what I've found on the net it looks like what I've found to be called as a "prototype" SRT. Now I could be completely wrong about this but I'm really diggin this bumper cover and I'd rather have this one than an after market one ... does anyone have a part# for this bumper or know where I can find one for my SXT?






I have posted this in the SRT forum but I'm thinking I might get an answer faster over here ...

Well as normal I couldn't sit back and I've been searching now for the last 90 minutes and after several websites I've come upon the bumper cover ... I've only seen this cover on one car so I'm guessing it's not to common ... Would this be the bumper cover for the 05' ACR ?

ShowSXT .. I'm sorry I didn't notice you answered before I made another post ... but thank you I was a bit confused. Now they all came with manual tranny's correct?

They were available on some 2005 models. SRT-D as it were: SRT-Design. SXT with an SRT body kit.

That would explain why the one I saw earlier was an automatic ... The car really wasn't taken care of so I figured it was factory and they didn't buy the body kit and have it installed. The inside was disgusting, and if the under side had anymore rust I would have sworn I was still living up north and not here in Florida!! The outside looked decent which attracked me over to it ...

Instead of going after market I've decided to go with this and I also found the factory r/bumper so I won't have a problem with the R/T exhaust ... I love a clean look and finding the factory parts will definately give me the cleanest look ... plus mine being black damn she's going to be sweet as hell .... also found a punisher emblem that will fit the f/cover instead of using the ram emblem ... note the exhaust doesn't look bad from this view .. when I peaked under the car it was rotted to death!!!

Good find for a r/t rear and exhaust. Punisher front badge is cool I have a black and white one that I have not used yet and dont think I will.

As for doing an SRT-4 nose swap I know you need the washer bottle from one ... to do a swap to the SRT-Design nose would a normal SXT bottle work considering it came from the factory as an option with this nose? Also the SRT-4 hood is the normal factory one, correct? I've looked around the web at other SRT-D's and when they throw on an aftermarket SRT-4 hood they don't fit correctly... I'm trying to figure everything out before I start putting out money.
