The 2006 Dodge Magnum of my wife

i think this looks cleaner. i think billet works usually for trucks or suvs. painting the bottom black will work too. then match it with 20s or 22s black/polished wheels.

Just finished the bottom yesterday and I'll try to get pics posted. MXFX where did you buy the trim rings you used for your car? Might just go with that for now and lose the hubcaps. If it was my car this thing would be all satin black by now to give it the stealth look. If I ever find an SRT-8 it's getting painted black.

got them from local auto store (kragens). the 15in rings cost i think $12 a piece. if not, ebay and internet stores sell more expensive ones (mine feels like plastic) but usually with better quality.

here's one for $45 plus s/h a set:

Video of a Magnum SRT-8 doing 190.200mph/306.097kph at the Texas Mile or 1.6km. That's a over 4000lb station wagon doing almost 200mph.

So much power can't even get traction at the start, a Toyota Supra did 243mph in the same event.

Almost wrecked the car last weekend when an idiot coming out of the flea market here decided to jump two lanes without using his signal lights. I blew my horn and the idiot slammed his brakes which caused me to slide since the road was wet and come within 1/4 inch of his Nissan Quest rear bumper. Then he went along his way like nothing happened so I chased him down and he just kept driving along inside the van like everything was cool, I pulled him over and proceeded to rip him a new butt hole. The drivers father comes out and apologizes and when I asked for the drivers license of the guy at the wheel his dad tried to show me his license. I told him I don't want his DL because he wasn't driving and I asked the guy again and guess what license he pulls out...the idiot pulls out a Philippine drivers license!!!

WTF! So I asked him if he was visiting the US and he said he lived here but didn't have his license yet I then asked for his green card and he said it's at home. I showed him my LEO credentials to identify myself and told him he was suppose to carry his green card with him at all times and he shouldn't drive like an idiot. Then his dad again tried to interfere for his idiot son by pulling out his PNP ID.

WTF!!! You're not in the Philippines that means absolutely squat to me even more so after he told me he was a retired PO4, so I told him to be quiet because my cousin was his director and even in the Philippines he can't pull rank on me and he finally gave up. I look inside the van and no wonder he almost caused an accident, they had merchandise packed up to the roof of the van and they can't see behind them. I made them rearrange all their crap in the van before driving off again because they could cause another accident.

I guess the Philippines now has one less idiot driver and one less kotong cop because they exported them to the US.
