Buying a car today

The longer 10 splines were in the front and the shorter 7 splines were in the back.

Replaced with the correct length factory style lug nuts. I replaced the generic center caps with these.

They look great! I bought the Year one 20 inch rallye wheels for my Challenger.

I still want B5, but this blue has grown on me after 12 years. Has been an awesome car. Haven't changed anything but the oil, filters and just did the front pads and front tires.

2 in the Center are “Former. Should have kept them both.

I wanted a trunk mat for the Challenger. Weathertech wants $140. I bought this one instead for $65. It's made by Ecoliner. It came rolled up in a box. I laid it outside in the sun for a few hours letting it return to its natural shape. Looks like the much more expensive Weathertech mat. Laser 3D scanned and Made in the USA. Fits like a glove.

I also installed a phone mount on the dash. It's magnetic. The plastic mount is made by Pro clip. The magnet is a Scosche Magic Mount Pro2. The ProClip is $39 and the Magic Mount Pro2 is $35.

What's that in the right side vent, a thermometer?
 
Very nice car and you'll love the mats. Every car I've owned, for as long as they've been making them, has had one in a vent. I buy them at Costco now and I like them, a bunch. Again, the mats, every daily driver I've owned gets them, front to back. A wet rag to wipe them down once a week and the car looks like new. You have a ton of common sense!!!! Don't forget to change out the cabin filter!

When I downsized, I found a stack of dealer factory mats in my basement that went back twenty years, that I took out to put in the weathertechs. I gave them to a guy that passed them out to everyone he knew that owned any of the cars and trucks they were made for. I don't do a dirty car, even in the winter!! LOL........... Very nice!!

I hated to use them, they look great. They just get dirty and matted to fast. In the winter I put down a small square of carpet to soak up the mess. When they get dirty, I throw them out and throw in a new piece. I'm a clean freak. Again, beautiful car!!
