Adjusted the front sway bar and installed the Whiteline trans bushing. Hopefully all the popping sounds are gone. I'll find out on the drive to work tomorrow and see what kind of difference there is with the trans bushing. Took a few pics today as well.

Looks good JJ.
Clint I think he's saying it mostly because the EB is faster. Although the 14's are kinda high for the RC Hemi. I've seen them in the mid 13's at the strip. I guess it depends on what gearing and such. Also Challengers are always slow except the new 392s. They have never been competition for the Camaro or Mustang.

With the nice weather rolling in, took some time on Saturday to install the GT500 spoiler and restripe some of the area on trunk lid.
Pulled off the OEM spoiler....eeeesh! Amazing how much dirt gets thru a 1/8 gap in the tape!
All cleaned...ready for new wing!
At this point, we removed the 3rd brake light and removed the existing striping from that are...it was a bit wrinkled and ripped in a few places. We also pulled the trunk panel back so we could tuck the stripe under it, to give it a cleaner look as it was a bit cut up from the first install.
Restriped and wing on
So while Harold and I were setting the plotter to cut the hood stripes, our other instigators...i mean helpers were busy re-styling the stripes for the hood scoop...kinda digging the negative effect...
needless to say, we didn't get the hood scoop stripes on due to running out of vinyl...
Here's a close-up of the trickiest spot on the car...the 3rd brake light and the curve in the spoiler for the light
and some other pics

Put my car on stands last night....Finally worked out the front suspension...No more popping noise from the front. I'm really liking the ride quality of the BC coilovers with the Swift springs.

Taping before waxing can be time consuming, but it saves so much grief afterwards. I haven't tried WD-40 for that.
