    Talking Made trip to dealer, three new colors with pics!!

    OK, so i see my girlfriend last night and she's like, "There is a lime green charger at the dealership." I was like, "What?" and told her she was full of sh|t, you know, to uphold the "I know everything about the LX cars attitude" lol. So tonight i am driving by the dealership and sure nuff, a green charger. I whip in and take a few pics. I've never seen this color or even heard of it. I decide to pull thru to the Chrysler side, wow, the new Inferno Red 300C SRT8. Great looking car. Next i saw a Marine Blue Pearl, i don't care for blue cars, but this blue is a clone of the blue on my old Harley and it freakin rocks!! I've seen the Inferno red on some HE's but this was the first SRT8 in that color.

    Sublime Metallic Clear Coat


    It was impossible to capture the actual color of this car under these lights with my phone.




    At first glance i thought these were polished SRT8 wheels. But upon closer inspection they didn't say SRT anywhere on them? Any info on them?

    Simple chrome clad wheels. They are similar to the SRT wheel, but they just aren't dished enough to look good on the car, and the chrome cladding makes them look cheap (of course, thats my opinion).

    IIRC, they are covered in a chrome colored plastic that is bonded to the wheel.

    I saw that same color Charger here in Miami yesterday. I would have stopped but I was too tired after looking around the neighborhood for our lost dog for about 2 hours. At least I found him...

    But yeah, that car looks like a neon green highlighter in person. lol

    The inferno red is much better in person. No offense, but the photo is a little bleached. In person it's much richer, darker, deeper. I came out of the grocery a couple weeks ago and my eye was immediately dragged to one in the middle of the parking lot. I actually took the time to call my mother and tell her about it - she has an '06 300C. My blind as a bat (j/k), 67 YO mother told me on the phone that she was getting ready to trade in her 5000 (!) mile '06 just for the color!

    Of course, this is the woman who brought me home from the hospital for the first time in a '70 Charger 500.....and she wonders where I get it from

    Those aren't hub caps, the chromed plastic is actually BONDED (glued, melted, what ever you want to call it) to the metal rim.
