I have to disagree with you. There is no doubt that RS is one of the best shops out there. It's shops like these that are the trend setters. They're the ones that's going to get the media coverage, and it's their ideas that are going to get copied by lesser shops that will ultimately lead to the creation of parts that you, yourself will stock on your shelves for the local car guy to put on his ride. Now, if you see an idea that doesn't look right, or a concept car that looks dull, are you going to let shops like RS know what you think, or are you going to be a sheep and let them steer the industry in the wrong direction for the next 5 years until a better concept comes along? Just to remind you, your pocket book and way of life is on the line.
Personally, I think it's great that they done a Mopar, and a Charger in particular. Imo, the Mopar aftermarket has been stagnant the last decade. Parts that the Camaro and Mustang guys take for granted now, are just now trickling down to the Mopar guys. Looking at your Mopar section in your online catalog, as I'm sure you know, it's quite small compared to Ford and Chevy. While I myself and only one person, there are several thousand with Mopars that have the same opinions as I do, and the same taste in parts as I do. Since I maybe a possible future customer of yours, as a representative of the retail aftermarket industry, are you really sure you want me to withhold my judgment? Or, would you like me to come on here and say "Hey, I like the tail lights you did on the Charger. Someone should mass produce those.", or "Hey, the Camaro'ish interior in the Charger doesn't fit the Mopar lifestyle. How about coming up with something different?" so that they could work on another style that would get the Mopar guys excited, and if we're lucky, maybe get a few custom parts on the market? This is the only reason I'm speaking up, is so you guys know what I, and other Mopar people like me, are looking for and what we like. Custom B bodies don't get built everyday.
