Just an unrelated thought. I see you got a warranty with the car and don't wish to risk that with mechanical mods. I am suspicious that your car could have an aftermarket tune because it is an Auto with muffler delete and it doesn't sound like crap or at least you didn't say it did... Typically the SS Autos sound pretty crappy with a muffler delete when AFM kicks in ( 4 cylinder mode) so thats why I mention it.

I'm not trying to scare you either but I might suggest you have a GM dealer verify if it is still stock tuned or not just because if there were an issue it could affect a warranty claim down the road. Especially if you purchased a warranty for it?

I just felt I should mention this but I assure you it is with good intentions and I may be entirley wrong in my assumption.

Congrats.

Post some more pics!

I'd do the black rims first.

Thanks for your input. Can you tell when the AFM cuts in on these? I haven't really noticed a lag or decrease in power. If I take it back to the Dodge dealer I bought it from can I have them check for a tune so they have it on record if it does have one? I think it will be fine as long as they know they sold it to me that way. Like you say, if they don't know it might cause issues later. Is there any way for me to tell if it has a tune myself?

i never notice it on my 2013 either...

Welcome. Just the opposite of mine.

ZakBradshaw · 10-21-2015, 12:18 PM

I want the DRL harness so they will stay on at night. Where's the best place to get one? I've only seen them for $50.

I really want to do the front grill blackout decal.

You definitely need fog lights to do that.

Never caught that one... thanks. The SIM on these cars is beautiful... shifts in sunlight and shade. Almost an orange-red tone on the tail end with this one...

Looking nice with that color combo.
