Default Re: SRT exterior conversion to N/A

As you probably have read before on the forum I am keen on getting a SRT and making it into a white N/A. Have a couple of questions regarding the exterior challanges when doing the conversion.

For instance,

1. The rear wing, easy to remove and install a N/A wing that will work, extend itself when moving faster than 60mph? The SRT does not have the capability to deploy the automatic spoiler - you will have to install the proper hatch panel, wing, motor, harness and swap the "dead switch" on the SRT center console so you can deploy the spoiler manually.

2. is the SRT lower than the N/A? Not sure - but it is stiffer.

3. can I fit the N/A wheels onto a SRT without any difficulties? will it look the same as on the N/A? (regards to lowering etc.) Yes, should make no difference.

4. Side skirts? look the same on the N/A? Yes

5. Front-lip, easy to remove and put on the N/A one? You will have to do a bumper swap - and that will reduce free airflow to the Supercharger's heat exchanger

Interior,
the rear wing has a switch in the N/A. can this be put in somwhow into the N/A and being funtional? Again, with some wiring from the fuse panel back to the wing.

Are there any other differences that will be difficult to convert?

Maybe you ask why in the h**l is he trying to do this? well, I have a N/A today and want the engine. It is not possible (or at least not worth it) to change the engine yourself. So I am interested in getting a SRT, convert it, re paint it in white and thus be the only white SRT looking like the N/A. But speedwise I will be able to fight off porsches.
Six-of-one, half-a-dozen of the other.

Pick your poison and your problems...

My advice is to trade your N/A for a SRT6 - The power will help you soon forget about the little spoiler, - You can always swap the wheels if you feel the need. I'm sure you won't have trouble finding a forum member willing to trade and for less then $500 you can soften up the ride.. or swap springs and shocks with a N/A owner..

Then paint it if your heart desires..
