Hi Everyone,

I purchased my '08 SRT8 in early October and have been extremely happy I waited (with exception to the gas mileage, of course!). I ordered all available options MyGig, Roof, Xenons, etc - wished I could have gotten the Kicker and the Red Calipers, both of which seem to be mid year production items, but oh well. I came from owning lots of German cars, the most recent 2 being a 2006 911 Carrera 4 (997) and a 2005 M3 Convertible. I recently had a mobile auto detailer (named Buff Auto Appearance www.buffautoappearance.com) and highly recommend his services. He's detail oriented, about as anal as I am (cleans the insides of the wheels, as an example). By the way, no affiliation whatsoever.

I thought I'd be bored after a few months but the grin is still there, and after Saturday's detail, I find myself just admiring it in the garage. In any event, here are a few photos. Hope you enjoy.

Ha. I was going to say the same about the antenna. Its gotta go...

But the pics are awesome and the shots in the garage make the truck look white which is cool.

Actually, the stubbie antenna was going to be my first mod, but I heard lots about the '08's having different thread sizes than the '06 - '07's so I held off. Haven't bothered to research it any further, but I guess I will, since I do agree the "fishing rod look" has to go.
