LOVE THAT 2010 RT FRONT END BUMPER

[Motza]

That is really a sharp bumper design, wonder if you'll be able to retrofit one onto our '08 -'09 models. Anyone think this could be done?

Since its a bigger front trunk, you you porbablly have to retrofit both in order to get it on an older Spyder.

Be nice if they made them as an accessory for the '08- '09. I'd buy one in a heart beat!

Do not think they will as they want you to buy the RT, I do like the new look but for that money I will add a few more thousand and get the Stallion Trike and I do plan on getting it.

i am in vegas this week and going to see if the dealer here will let me test drive one if they have one in stock
i've been looking at this also but i doubt it would handle as well as maintenance should be cheaper with ford 4 cyl. in them

[aka1004]

i change my mind. i took another look on their website and compared to RT, it looks so tacky.

[Bersquack]

The Stallion Trikes are cool, but it does not beat the spyder IMHO.

I testes Stallion and it is very nice with air and heat,getting in and out was tough cause I'm old and big.Everything was great except I felt as though I was in a Rubbermaid dumpster with a windshield.Just kidding.

I asked my dealer, change all front end + match the color. He believes the upper side panels did not change.

Still drooling for a tri-busa if somebody would cover the guarantee in Houston:

Have you tested one? I did once upon a time... and came away from the experience extremely disappointed.

You're gonna add more than a 'few thousand' to get into a Stallion. The basic Stallion is $33,000--- that's $10,000+ more than the basic RT.

They're kind of neat--- but I doubt they handle as well as the Spyder. Seen a few in person--- pretty neat-- but really more like a car IMO.

Going back to the topic. The new RT wheelbase is 3 inches wider. Maybe my dealer was wrong and is not that easy to replace the front...

Looks like it needs a trunk in front...in fact, it doesn't look like it's a completed vehicle...rear tire not too great in the rain...

We all lived without trunks all our lives until getting spoiled by our Spyders.

I agree with you that, in general, doesn't look too safe. I hope at least one of the big four Japanese comes with a front three-wheeler designed from the ground up. I wrote letters to all of them 3 weeks ago. I wil post any response. On the mean time....

great idea I'm hoping Honda would jump on that with their new DN-01 automatic
priced around $15,499
