I like the rear tires, that's about it...not the rims...just the tire width  :burnout:

Hood looks bad and I wouldn't do that to an R/T.

Bingo! :cheers:

A black fiberglass Six Pack hood with HEMI written on the sides should fix it.

Definitely a car a buyer would want to see and drive in person before buying.

Wonder if it has cruise control :thinking:

After the shaker, next thing I noticed was the body rake was going the wrong way? Easy enough to fix though....

MAybe , there is no picture or info on what front suspension system was used .
I would definately want to know what front end system was used in it .

Hate the wheels.  I'd need to look at the shaker a little closer to make a final judgement on if I like it or not.  Like someone already said though, an A12 hood would be the easiest way to "fix" it if you wanted to.

In the underside pic it looks like there are lowering blocks on top of the leaf springs. Might be able to raise the rear a little bit. :notsure:

The shaker wouldn't bother me nearly as much if it wasn't completely fake and non-functional...the cone air filter looks kind of stupid next to it

It's got a new Hemi swap with what looks like a factory shaker setup.  I'm pretty sure they can pull in air through the shaker OR through the traditional filter.

All of the included pictures in the listing show the Gen3 Hemi with the stock intake manifold so I am not sure how air would get through the shaker, unless you are saying they made the air from the shaker route through the front in the same location as the cone air filter?

I think the factory shaker cars use the same intake manifold as a non shaker.  The air gets routed into the engine through a special a air box.  Whether this car has all that I can't tell.  If it is fake then that's pretty lame.  Here is a factory shaker setup.  You can see that there is an air filter in the traditional spot as well.  It can pull air in from the shaker or that other filter.

Yeah so it looks like there is a hose on the back of the shaker that routes the air forward to the cone filter, so probably a minimal gain at best. Thanks for that info, better than being completely fake I guess
