Newbie from Texas

Although my car isn't considered a VIP style car, I must say I love VIP cars. There aren't many in my area and the few that are here, are friends of mine. 
 
Hopefully I can gain some valuable knowledge and possibly share some with others here.

 I didnt really know there was a term for paint matched wheels. Or is it just because its a Charger? 
Thanks!

 Appreciate it. I've got a homie with a Q45. I just redid his bag setup. Very nice cars. I just dont like the gas tank in the trunk.

 Thanks. 
 
So can someone fill me in on the "DUB" scene/style. Im not to familiar with what it entails.

nah its not cause its a charger, i like cars, not styles.

[QUOTE=airmax;362482]nah its not cause its a charger, i like cars, not styles.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I know what you mean. What is the dub style though. I haven't heard that before.

dis regard the post on mine i now know this is the car i saw on google car is clean man! i think you and me are the only chargers on here. :dance:

welcome

I knew a lowered charger would look sexy

Thanks man. Yeah chargers aren't really considered VIP but I still love the style/cars. Driving low has always been a passion. What setup do you have?

you should, its a damn good looking car!

[QUOTE=brainneeded;362575]you should, its a damn good looking car![/QUOTE]
 
most deff!! gotta rep for these Texas boys!! lol

Im running bagged 4 link,What set up are you running? what tires size are you running and im assuming you rolled the fender right?

looks nice. i just had a charger as a rental. the pedal location in relation to the steering wheel is so awkward. i dunno how people could find that comfortable.

only difference between a well done dub style car and a well done vip car is the common brands and platforms used. y'all need to let go of the labels.
 
cars pretty dope.

 Yes sir!
[QUOTE=Bagged07;362636]Im running bagged 4 link,What set up are you running? what tires size are you running and im assuming you rolled the fender right?[/QUOTE]
 Im running a Universal Air setup with some Eibach Pro Dampers. I love the ride quality but I wish it was a tad tighter. I miss the handeling of my sportlines with cut coils. 
 
The front fenders are rolled and the upper inner piece cut and folded. The rear lip is completely cut off, the upper metal banged, and some cut off. It doesnt give me the ride height I really want but it'll have to do for now.

 What made it awkward? Is it the placement left to right or the distance from the column. I actually find mine to be very comfortable and I dont think they changed the placement of the pedals/column in the newer models.

I was talkin to a guy on the charger forums and he said he was running the R/T shocks with his bagged charger and he said the performance is there with the handling

I have an RT and the factory shocks suck in comparison to the Pro Dampers. I previously ran the sportline springs with a coil cut and the dampers and I loved the ride quality. I tucked half the rear tires and had no rubbing. I just had to go lower.

Im with mike on this. Fuck labels but I do believe if your wheels came out just a couple more mm out and machined finish, it would have a better chance at fitting in here. Looks good to me regardless though. Its slammed. Looks like you could go an inch or two bigger to fill the wheel wells at dumpt

I hear you. If I had the money right now I'd definitely get some new wheels, like some Kartier Forged. My homie  with the Q has some bad ass ones that make me jealous everytime I see him. I could go bigger but then my chances of driving slammed diminish greatly unless I do a full tub up front (which I may still do anyway) and some major work in the rear. 

Never know though... Thanks J.

car looks good for what it is .. can't hate ... except for the wheels .. :biggthumpup:
