Charger SRT-8 That thing got a Hemi? Indeed, a 6.1L Hemi that is. The Dodge Charger SRT-8 pounds the pavement with severe power.

Default RE: Anyone else lose the front bumper?

i am having problems with the front bumper issue, the plastic cover which attaches to the valance on my srt8 is wore out i am not sure if i can just replace that plastic portion or have to get a new bumper? I am staying clear of the dealer at all resorts since my $400 a piece price quote for brake pads. Please help. The car is too awesome to be parked in the garage.

I've dragged mine over several curbs, but luckily never got it caught. I figure the scratches can only bee seen when laying on the ground or when the car is in the air, so I'll just get a can of touch-up paint (spray) and shoot it every so often. No biggie.

Might start backing in a bit more now though. Good idea. The back isn't so low.

Thats a big yes!!!! Did mine 2 weeks after purchase. Really sucked out. Cost me 1200 bucks to get a new front facia. Well the insurance covered it at a 250 deductable. But, it still sucked ...lol

I have not parked no where near a concrete parking stopper again.

I was lucky to have a bungie cords in the trunk. That bad boy wound have fallen off by the time I got home.

Been thinking about getting the sensors that are beingused for the rear backup warning alarm and using them on the front. One of the techs at work saidit wouldnt be any probs at all.

My friends mom had a pretty nice Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, we were pulling out of the driveway one night and the corner of the bumper caught on a railroad tie and pulled it out, thank god it didn't break the fasteners. Cars sit so low its easy to catch them on things, I know I can't pull my girlfriends taurus too close to the curb at our apartment because the bumper drags. Oh well I gotta truck I can just park on the curb if I want
