AmericanMuscleChallenger Review: MP Concepts Rear Louvers

Forget everything you’ve ever heard about rear window louvers and listen up. These MP Concepts Matte Black Rear Window Louvers look amazing and add accenting angles that are striking!

When the original Challengers came out in 1970 the A44 Backlight Louver Group was not often chosen as an option. It made it harder to see out the rear window and sometimes even rattled a little. It was an exterior modification and not designed for performance. The altered body line actually created a decrease in aerodynamic lift as it disrupted the original air design flow. But an unintended consequence is more traction in a manner similar to ‘ground effects’ on Formula One cars. It also does a great job of keeping the interior cool and the sunshine out.

I look for modifications that have the biggest bang for the buck and add very little weight. This is the winning formula for me and these louvers make the grade at under one hundred fifty dollars and weighing only two pounds. They have always been on my want list. I wasn’t sure if I would like them in person and figured they are easy enough to remove if I didn’t. Now I’m not sure If I can take them off. They just look so amazing up close. I Love them! They make every photo look better too! The videos look better!! I never want to take them off!!!

They have a variety of rear window louvers available as well as everything else you need for your Challenger . The instructions could not have been easier and the installation took me about thirty minutes. There is a great installation video available for a walk through in addition to the printed instructions included. Thank you very much to my friends at AmericanMuscle.com for getting these out to me so quickly. I’ve been working with Challenger parts suppliers since 2011 and American Muscle Challenger is definitely the best place For All Things Challenger!

I’ve read a lot about these recently and heard all of the plus and minuses. Everything has pluses and minuses. For me the only minus is a slight reduction in visibility. Not so much an issue with side mirrors and a backup camera. Who’s looking back anyway? The thing I’ve noticed most since installing is how many people like the look too. They say: ’Wow, I’ve been thinking about that and now I’m ready’, ‘Those look Amazing’, and a lot of people ask ‘Where did you get those’?

Marc Miller in the PREFIX #40 Stevens-Miller Racing Dodge Challenger

WOW! Marc Miller drove this Challenger across the finish line at Circuit of The Americas and into the record books as the 2019 Trans Am TA2 Champion!

It was extremely exciting to interview Marc and his responses are a look inside the mind of a Professional Race Driver. He is a True Champion and not just on the track either! His motivation comes from all aspects of his life and his winning attitude is awe inspiring.

The PREFIX #40 Stevens-Miller Racing Dodge Challenger marks the 40 year anniversary for a company deeply involved with Trans Am Racing. The PREFIX 392 Hemi Engine enhances the power curve and dominates the competition. The graphics package and rear wing combine to make this the most recognizable Dodge Challenger on the track. PREFIX also built a street legal version making it the most recognizable Challenger on the street too! Watching the Stevens-Miller Team take this Challenger to the Top was a great ride from the spectator seats. Don’t take my word for it though. Listen to what Marc has to say!

COTD: You have motivated a lot of fans, like myself, through 2019 with your enthusiasm and success as well as your reaction to bumps in the road.

JEGS COTD DODGE CHALLENGER

It is a great honor to present the Fastest Challenger of the Day ever: 'Go on ‫ ‪Yellow' with Jeg Coughlin Jr.’s 2010 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak! Please enjoy the COTD Story featuring breathtaking photos provided by JEGS Performance and a Driver Q&A with Jeg Jr.!

This Dodge Challenger gives a whole new meaning to 'Go on‪ Yellow'! With two wheels up in the air this is one Awesome Beast. As a kid I always wanted to catch some air like this. It’s breathtaking to see! From the first moment I saw the Team JEGS Drag Pak Dodge Challenger I knew I had to see more. There is only one thing cooler than a Dodge Challenger driving by and it’s when one is flying by with the front wheels off the ground!!

Let me tell you a little bit about the history of the Mopar Drag Pak Challenger. Jeg Coughlin Jr. actually drove one of the original two prototype Drag Pak Challengers for the final testing at the Milan Dragway 2008 Publicity event. The ‘Liquid Metal’ Challenger was serial#2008002. After 3 passes the Challenger was deemed ready for production. In 2009 Dodge built only 100 of these with 3 engine options (5.7, 5.9 and 6.1). Engine upgrades to the 2010 production would allow it to now compete in all Stock Eliminator classes.

Cruisin' the Hudson Valley.

It is with great pleasure to bring you this next Challenger of the Day story. Rich M. loves cars and the good memories they bring. He brings car lovers together from all over the car spectrum and is driven to make others smile. We've shared a lot of laughs and smiles together and I look forward to meeting and joining him in person on future car shows and cruises!

Please enjoy this next story by Rich M.

We are 3rd and 4th generation car guys who travel all over the Hudson Valley NY and Catskills to meet people, take pictures and their cars. We like taking day trips to car events so much, we built our own site that lists and tracks car shows. We hope our site encourages new people to bring their cars out or attend a cruise or show in their area.

The CruiseHV ride of choice is a 2016 Dodge Challenger Go Mango RT Shaker. We like the retro look of the Challenger! The car is one of fifteen for the year 2016 in that paint and configuration. We chose a late model car so we can get in and go longer distances with lots of space and modern comfort.

The first thing people notice about the car is the color. Its bright orange! Halloween has always been my favorite Holiday. So I own a glowing Orange car; as bright as the headless horsemen’s head! The color has metal flake, and depending on the amount of sun and time of day, it can look red. Besides the color people notice the Shaker Hood. It's such a tribute to that vintage look. It’s also badged. When driving, it you see people watching the hood; pointing and mouthing the words S-H-A-K-E-R.
