Hi Everybody,

I'm new to the forum and looking to choose my first DD, and just hoping I could get a advice on which year to pick. Specifically, I love the look of the 2014+ R/T's and am considering one, but was wondering if I got a 2011-2013 if it's possibly to mod it so that the exterior looks relatively similar to a 2014+ R/T due to the cheaper price of the lower year models.

The mods I had in mind were 1.) Black out of the Grill and the lower grill/fogs 2.) Possibly get new LED headlights 3.) Adding new Rims and Tires similar to the below picture of Hollywoods R/T Tires (Well done Hollywood, that car looks fantastic)http://www.dodgedurango.net/forums/durango-wheels-tires-2011/20173-new-shoes-r-t.html

I realize that I couldn't get the rear taillight on the lower models to look just like the new ones, but that's not a big deal to me. Is there anything else I'm missing? Could I get my older R/T (or other model for that matter) to look like Hollywood's down below? Thanks for any help! :) Also, if there's any other big things I should be aware of, or if the performance difference between the years is so different that you don't think that would be a good idea, please chime in :)


 
Yes you can get it really close to what that looks like

LED headlights are not a good choice, I highly suggest HID's in projectors, like what the 2014's have and some 2011-2013 models have. LED bulbs simply don't have the throw necessary to be useful as headlights.

Unless you mean the DRL/eyebrow things in the headlights....
 
Just leave the factory HID's in an 11, 12, or 13 you pick up they work great
