Here's my word document I created a few weeks ago, for my spring mods for both vehicles. I'll chip away at some small stuff over the next few months. And knock out what's left in April (bonus time) CHARGER & JEEP MODIFICATION WISH LIST CHARGER: Custom Suede Interior - $1500 AAC LED Halo Tinted Taillights - $650 Cast 90mm TB - $500 Stack Performance Bullet CAI - $325 Stack Performance Carbon Fiber Diffuser - $425 Stack Performance Swaybar Links - $600 Stack Performance Front Strut Tower Brace - $300 Underhood Dressup Pkg. (Braided Hoses, AN Fittings, etc.) Including BT Catch Can - $300 RUNNING TOTAL = $4,600 JEEP: Bwoody Sway Links - $250 Finish CMR Tune - $250 Addco Swaybars - $375 Thermal Research 5†Exhaust Tips - $150 Nitto NT05 315/275 Tires - $1000 Zeckhausen Brake Pads - $200 Stereo Equipment and Install - $2000 RUNNING TOTAL = $4,225 TOTAL FOR THE TWO TOGETHER: $8,825 If you guys have any "serious" recommendations for any other small mods that could "finish up" my sled, post 'em up!! You guys know my taste, I'm open to suggestions. I MAY DO a blower, but it will come later in the year. For right now this is all. Anything you guys can think I might be overlooking???
I like it! You might consider Cam's Twins for the CAI. If you need to keep costs roughly equivalent for the Charger and the Jeep then add a Video package to the Jeep (heh, the kid is going to want to be watching Barney in the car. Mom will want the kid to be watching Barney in the car too.)
I can save you $375 and reduce one of your mods. The addco sway bars for the jeep, in my opinion will not do you much good. The size increase isn't enough to make that much of a difference. I take my Jeep on road courses and unless you are doing that I would still think it is a waste of money. You would be surprised at how well they handle going around corners all ready. If you really want to do them talk Stack into making theirs for the Jeep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxr2Dp98VeU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiPM5hHmXnA
I agree no go on the front/rear sway bar, I do like my bwoody sway links plus they are $199 now and do not do the Zechausen pads get the 06 CTS-V pads for the rears and keep the stock for the fronts, trust me on this Chase. When you put the CTS-V pads on do use the metal shims and cover the outer shim that touches the pistons with some gray anti-seize and cover the pads in the higher quality permatex no squeel lube its green.
Im looking into new BRAKE PADS SOON!! haha they started sqeeking when i stop! Any PADS out there that dont create as much dust ???
Yeah, I want the twins. Just not sure if I can swing the extra $700. And I've already got the VES in the Jeep!! So we're good to go!! Gotcha. I'll skip it then!! THANK YOU!! LOL. You know better Larry.......they're NEVER finished!!!! I'll take your advice any day Wade. I have the Zeck's now, with about 26K on them, I love the lack of dust. I'll probably just put my stockers back on and skip new pads altogether. Been thinkin about that.....thanks buddy.
Sweet Chase, look forward to see the results on the performance stuff for the Charger...you will need to add a new tune to the list. Keep us posted as you go.
you really need to stop this whole adding stuff up thing LOL i very purposely dont add it up anymore hahaha
Same here...and people don't seem to mind asking..."how much have you spent?" ..I always tell them..."i don't know, and don't wanna know." Chase...Do you have a remote start? I have that on my to do list.
Nice list Chase!! I wish I had your budget for mods!! I traded the caliber and got the Srt-8 and couple bolt ons, at least it's a start!!
Indeed sir. Forgot about that. You are correct!!!! I have to. When I get that lump sum check, it allows me to see what $$$ goes where. Brotha gots bills to pay off too, lol. Too funny bro. JUST THOUGHT of that TODAY, actually. Good call!! That will get done when she goes back in the stereo shop to "finish" some stuff off. Man, we are on the same page lately it seems...... You are correct buddy. I started small like that also. Intake, headers, and exhaust man!!! (then I became posessed by the Mopar Ghosts of the past and they took over my body and wallet!!!!) It ain't suckin playa. And I work haaaaaard.
Dude. We gotta catch up. Work is slowing down for me, day by day. Time for a BhamMopar hangout fo sho!!!!!! Gotcha.
