RE: Caliber handles 20's well!
what entry guards do you have?
i got some others and mine 've been @ the sport-appereance group.
and why are the antennas of your's in the fender?
mine is on the roof.
i like the exhaust. but i think round mufflers are not the correct for the car.
but looks great!!

Thanks for the nice comments Bill and Mahall.
The rims are Axis, I shopped all over for tires and the shop who sold me the rims recommended Cooper Tires. They merged with ( bought out, were bought by?) Avon so I thought I would give em a shot. The car feels like its glued to the road but does ride a little stiffer. Not as much sidewall I guess? The exhaust is an experiment with the local muffler shop. I was going to buy the Mopar one, but it's really steep for a car that might not see any other performance upgrades. I stopped by the shop who did the muffler on my 2500 Cummins and he put it on the rack to check it out. He does a lot of PT cruiser custom stuff and had some ideas for the caliber and wants to get a jump on the install as the car is getting popular here. I said go ahead so the muffler is an all stainless steel, dual outlet with a single inlet. He cut the oem unit out and fabbed up a pipe for it. It's a tad too loud for my taste but it does look kewl. If I was 30 years younger I might like it[8D],but my ten year old loves it. I spoke with the muffler shop about the racket and he said he can quiet it down real easy with some sort of resonater. If you are interested I'll take pictures and get manufacturers info for you. I'm waiting on the resonater now so it should all be done next weekend.

RE: Pictures!
Hi everyone, I just joined the rank of Caliber owners about a week ago. Silver RT to be specific. While I've always been a truck/muscle car type person I'm really enjoying the new Calber. I think this car has a lot of potential and am excited to start modding it has soon as the aftermarket catches on.
