BMRbrnSNRbrd's 2010 CC Sport build thread
Guys, I’ve seen this on other sites and decided to do it here. This is my truck from start on October 23, 2010 to now. Enjoy.
Dealership picture. Notice the wheels they had on it. Needless to say I made sure they understood that would be changed before the deal was done. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...1_640w480h.jpg Here she is with my previous truck, a 2004 White QC Hemi. I still miss that truck desperately. I stripped it down quite a bit before I took it to the dealership and handed them the keys. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...0-25181946.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...0-25181958.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...0-25182011.jpg Here she is after having the correct wheels swapped on and the windows tinted 5% up front and 5% over the factory tint on all the rear windows. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1075.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1076.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1080.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1082.jpg First mod early November 2010 was a Raceland USA e-cutout that had been on my previous truck. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-04205227.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-04205117.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...1-04205148.jpg Trip to Tulsa, OK with my wife also in early November 2010. At this point I had plug and play HIDs in all four front lights. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1094.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1093.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1096.jpg My Christmas present to myself and the truck is still one of my favorite mods I’ve ever done to a truck. Thanks Jeremy! http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1127.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1129.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...2-09191816.jpg I especially like this pic because of the way the projectors pick up the light and the angle…kind of looks like a caged pit bull. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...2-09191925.jpg |
I also Plasti-dipped my factory chrome clads and painted my brake calipers bright red:

Sure, there may be cheaper options, but I KNOW this works: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...lcatchcan1.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...catchcan11.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...3-11181117.jpg In mid-March 2011 I took the truck out and took almost 100 pictures. Here are my favorites: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...hotoshoot1.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...hotoshoot4.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...hotoshoot5.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...otoshoot23.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...otoshoot30.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...otoshoot59.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...otoshoot65.jpg One of the smaller and cheapest (free) mods I’ve done was swapping the flat black vinyl on my b-pillars to gloss…they now tie in much better with my dark tint: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...3-16153732.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...3-17102431.jpg In April I tackled one of the things that I think Dodge dropped the ball on…mainly the cheap black plastic they use for the antenna base and tailgate handle despite that everything else is color matched. Again, this was done in the garage by myself: The antenna base: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...4-29210445.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...4-29222221.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...4-29225420.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-01175238.jpg May 11, 2011 I finally tinted my tails and puddle lights using VHT Niteshades: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-11102404.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-11110740.jpg |
May 13, 2011 photoshoot favorites:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1504.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1500.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1509.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1507.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...m/SANY1512.jpg On May 20, 2011 I finally tackled the tailgate handle: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-20145333.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-20145323.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...5-20145314.jpg On July 28, 2011 I decided I needed something to brighten up all the gray and black on the truck so I went back to chrome wheels by peeling the Plasti-dip off. This also shows the Tonno Pro soft tri-fold tonneau cover I added before our Las Vegas trip: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...7-29130618.jpg And here are the latest pics: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...withchicks.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...0Ram/ry400.jpg There may not be a lot of money in it and there are plenty of large mods I still want to do, but I think, considering how much I’ve spent, the truck looks great and unique. My favorite thing is how much I’ve done myself despite never having done anything like smoothing and painting before. |
Nice write up man! I need to do the same now
|
Way to go! Sweet truck.
|
You nailed it in your last statement Dave. " My favorite thing is how much I’ve done myself "
I loved my 2004 but I appreciate my 08 a lot more because everything that I have done I have done it myself. All my mods are small but make it unique and when people ask where I bought or where I took my truck to get something done, I smile and say I did that myself.. your truck is one of my top favorite trucks, So if it ends up missing one day don't come looking for me haha |
Thank you very much Kyle, that's a hell of a compliment.
If you do make it disappear, make sure no part of it is ever seen again so I can pick up a new Charger R/T. |
your truck looks great David. makes me want a 4th gen....

Tear I remember when you broth that thing home all stock, now it's all fixed up. They mod up so fast. I wish I had a photo journal but I get so excited to mod I don't think of a camera
