I’m looking at ordering a Challenger NBRE very soon and decided on Sinamon Stick. I have always preferred stealth colors, but I decided to just do it loud this one time.

Since I am going loud, I am considering stripes but I have never seen a Sinamon with stripes in person. TOPDAWG was kind enough to send to me a bunch great photos of his Sinamon SS with Carbon stripes, looks great. I am also considering Gunmetal stripes but I can only find generic photos on the web.

I am hoping that Sinamon owners could post photos of their HC’s with and without stripes. Opinions are welcome from all HC owners!

One thought is I can always get repro stripes installed later. Plus the color selection is better.

Also, are there any maintenance issues with stripes?

Thanks!

Wide or standard body?

NB. Just edited the original post. Does that make a difference with the stripes?

If you get repro stripes done later, then you don't HAVE to have the stripes on to keep it original.

Just an opinion, I think hood/roof/deck lid stripes look better on a wide body. T/A style stripes on a standard body. Nice choice for a color.

Carbon on @Mattm400 ’s look good on a NB

Gunmetal stripes look a little bit Grey/blue. I wouldn't recommend on that color. But I'm all for stripes!!!!! Carbon fiber are beautiful.

These are gunmetal, if you look close up you'll see what I'm talking about.

Thanks but not a fan of them. Never thought that NB v WB would make such a difference. Again, not seen many in real life so I depend on this forum. Forums are better than real life anyway, right!

And my carbon fiber.

Thanks, but blue is the opposite of orange so I'm not sure that is such a bad thing, which is why I hope to see some photos and comments from owners. Good info, thanks!

Here is a pic without. I was on the fence too. Went without…but if I did I would have went with carbon. Something else to consider is factory hood pins. I think the carbon with black hood pins looks mean - I regret not doing the hood pins (can always add later).

And my carbon fiber.

Those look great! Are those aftermarket?

 

[Mattm400]

Factory, and thanks!!

It looks great w/o stripes, thanks for the pics. Since the old days I liked hood pins but as an adult I realized they were kinda stupid. But now that I am old, I am looking at things differently so maybe pins are in! I'm 16 again, but this time I am not broke!

Dodge.com is still showing 2021 and Carbon Fiber does not appear as an option. (The don't show hood pins either.) I was hoping to hold off on ordering until they posted all the ordering and option info. You have me thinking maybe go w/o stripes and add Carbon Fiber after. Thanks!

Mine are gunmetal and have zero blue in them. There very dark grey.

The only thing to consider on timing for stripes is if you prefer to PPF the car. There are a lot of thoughts on over, under, around, etc. But if PPF is something you want to do (and ceramic - must put stripes down first) - keep that in mind. Either way - your going to be happy - great car and awesome color!

One thing is for sure, the configuration on dodge when building the car is a poor example of what the stripe color looks like. I was thinking mine would be brighter. I actually like the darker look of the stripe.
