Re: Once and for all - The Tips debate may end here!!!!

I worked in the automotive plants for 30 years and one thing is for sure..If it came down to stopping the lines due to a parts shortage they will substitute incorrect parts to keep production going...If indeed Chargers and Runners went down the same lines they EASILY would have put whatever tips the...

Re: NO DOOR SKINS FOR US....
