Have you thought of possibly just painting the black plastic parts to match? Similar look and a lot cheaper?

dont let them discourage you CFusion. It can be done VERY easily and not for 3x what it costs for an R/T. Theres a GREAT parts website www.car-part.com Its a listing of salvage yards across the country. Also use ebay etc. Ive seen the lower bumper on ebay for very cheap. Just be patient and put it together as you find parts.

+1... Mod it up at your own pace, it can certainly be done!

Yeah...I thought those were the Jeep rims, same ones on my wife's Jeep, wondered how those would look on the D. They do look great, any fitment issues with them?

Nope, they fit perfect.

Thanks. Yeah I figured I would take it slow. No rush.

If you have the tow package, I'll buy your old shocks if you switch them out..

Should be because that's part of the tow package. Apparently they work well too, gets rid of sag of the rear.

Na, I'll side with those that say at this point if you want an R/T then sell yours back and buy an R/T. Just because you change stuff, it will never be an R/T by vin or resale asset.

Nothing against mods, I have mods on mods and more that I have forgotten than I remember. Just saying the logical, easiest and most likely less expensive in the long run with labor and overall resale values factored in.
