Thanks guys! Ohh man it feels good. Thanks to everyone who supported me as well. It's been quite a long road for me over the past 3 years with mods, a blown engine in 2012, a front end collision on 2009, and 2 broken transmissions from all the torque.
I appreciate your guys' appreciation, and I appreciate the great photo skills there Mando!
Carlos, you are right about the shot reminding you about the commercial, here's the commercial for anyone who never saw it:
I try to keep the exterior stock looking, just a bit enhanced. It keeps the car as beautiful as she was from the factory, and it keeps cops off my butt.
Here's a little something I wrote for my SRTOTM thread on srtforums.com, you may like if if you haven't already read it:
I have been through a lot with this car. Thick and thin. I fell in love with the SRT-4 when the commercial came out. You know, the one that says "Papa was a rollin' Viper." Like many, I was unable to afford a Viper, let alone the insurance. So I settled for the next best thing in the affordable and more impotantly mod-able world. The fastest car for under twenty grand. It was a long time before I could afford her, and I had looked at many lots, with many SRT-s in them. Falling in love many times, before finally finding an unmolested 03 in Seattle, Washington.
She is an 03. She is the bare bones, no bells and whistles package. In similar fashon to the Viper ACR, she offers little amenities for the driver. She is raw power in a small package, bridled in the name an American racing icon, known as SRT. No sunroof, no LSD, no Kicker, no 6 disc changer, and no traction, that is, until i got my boost box
She sits in the driveway or parking lot looking better than the day she rolled off the assembly line. With the dual exhaust styling of a retro muscle car, and the front crosshairs of Dodge, her surname, and the SRT logo on the trunk, her birthmark. The engineers and designers gave us a beautiful car, and I have done my best to keep her that way. Allowing her to maintain her identity and class in the family of Dodge, so that she may feel comfortable in the stable of the other Mopar purebreds. Though she may be the stepchild of the Mopar division, she still has daddy's crosshairs, and mommy's enthusiastic spirit. She is a beautiful child of great ancestry, and she will not forget her roots. She is a working class girl.
In the spirit of Bruce Springsteen I consider myself the working man who made it big, if only for a few minutes. I am the everyday owner, with the everyday driver. I have built my car in the best fashion I could, keeping up 40+ hour weeks, and wrenching with everyday Sears and Autozone tools. I am not special, talented, or gifted. I am every man here with a dream and a car. If I can do it, you can do it, and money is not the limiting factor of performance for us. I don't have as much invested in my car as many others, in fact, I may have less invested than the majority of ROTM contestants. What matters to me is the love and enthusiasm I have for my car, and the brotherhood I have when modding, repairing, and discussing my chosen hobby/lifestyle with my brethren in SRT arms. The car is what brought me here, and the speed is what made me stay.
Engine: -ARP Head studs, new water pump and tensioner. -Mopar stage 3 ported turbo and manifold. 20G billet wheel from Snail Turbo. Ported the O2 housing with my own two hands. -Hand polished OEM intercooler. -200psi Coolingmist trunk mount kit with M5 in OEM CSP. -Ported TB. -OEM air intake, modded to accept more outside air -Needswings 3" Downpipe with McCord Power Plate -Mopar Blow Off Valve -Bwoody Chack Valve -N2MB Boost Box (22psi for 91, 26psi for E85) -Diablosport Predator -Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator w/ return line -1025/888cc injectors (Duster special) -Walbro 255 Fuel Pump -Mopar 3bar Map And Tip -OEM Boost/vac lines to enable me to pass CA Emissions. -Hand polished top mount and AC lines -Painted VC and custom heat shield for coil -Big filter kit -E85 tune
Suspension -OEM baby, so she can strut her stuff (No pun intended) on the crumbling streets of Southern California and maintain a comfort level to where my CD's don't skip and my fillings don't rattle. -Filled 4th mount and trans mount, inserts in other mounts -Front and rear strut tower braces.
Wheels -OEM fitted with Hankook Ventus Evo XII's -Hawk ceramic pads
Exterior -Front mesh removed to allow for a clean intercooler. -Flex Fuel Logo because we care about the planet -Tinted just enough to keep cops off my ass -House of Grafx 2.4 liter turbo decal on scoop (flow modded scoop)
BTW, I am super excited about the video, any notes on progress?

well deserved, a lot of guys want their SRT look as bad as old american muscle. Only a few guys who really love his car usually leave stock appearance like yours. Here you shown what SRT give you in return, a lot of knowledge .
Congratulations
