yeah, I finally got to check one out in person, and decided against it. Though I am pretty certain about the black now, as for the handles really sticking out, are you in Canada? They are chrome there but mine are just the body color. Also, I think I may be swapping the factory antenna for a shark fin style, like this:

would probably keep it black as well. I'm working with photoshop now to try and get an idea.



Yeah I am in Canada. I didn't know until I watched the motorweek review that US models have painted handles. I might do the antenna thing too, that's the one thing that they could have put a little more effort into.

I will put some up in the spring. Right now the car is covered in snow and is quite dirty and it has on winter tires, so no mags.

:lol: Be careful with that plan. I had one of those bounce of the front end of my car while I was waiting in line at the automatic car wash once. I have feeling the guy in front of me wasn't too happy. He most likely didn't have it mounted right because my car made it through and my antenna isn't very tough. I was certainly having second thoughts about going through but there was no way for me to get backed out because of the way it is designed.

I'm going to have the spoiler and antenna installed at a bodyshop. have to make sure i have someone to blame if there is a problem. not sure about the antenna yet, waiting for some feedback about it's performance, no matter if it looks better, if your radio stops getting a signal the wtf is the point?

did have one of my mirrors knocked off at an auto car wash once, had to file against them to get it fixed but they did and i dropped the case. having parts from another car hit me would freak me out. my mother got me unlimited deluxe car washes at a local auto wash place as a car warming gift or something, i'll use it for the rest of the month but i'm still leery, i check it VERY closely after i'm through each time.

but haven't decided to go with the body color or ebony black. The ebony black is identical to the front accents and will also compliment the rear air diffuser. now i've tinted the windows, 5% on the rear and rear sides with 20% on the doors, and i would also repaint the door handles that color if I decide to do the black. what do you guys think? I think it'll work well, it's a great color combination that's been used by dodge for years, plus fits well with the Tigris emblems and should stand out w/o looking gaudy.


This is the first pic I have seen with the boot scoop. I was considering the boot scoop but because I condnt find a pic at the time I decided against it. It is an optional extra and still might consider now I have seen it.
