RPI Splash Guards Installed

After having the Challenger just over one year I’ve started to notice some road rash on the front fenders. The wide sticky Eagle F1 tires tend to pickup and fling debris and now I have a few good paint chips. Looking over forums and taking to other Challenger owners an easy fix are splash guards.

Personalized Licence Plates Ordered
