Looks like someone tried to buff primer. Without a doubt the ugliest color I've ever seen.

Ok

Seems like a lot of people hate this color (Destroyer Gray) currently. I'm willing to bet some of the same people 25-30 years from now will come to accept it, since by then, it will be a very rare and hardly seen color on a Dodge vehicle. stirthepot

It looks good on the right kind of car. Slab sided new Challengers are not the best canvas for it.

I've seen this one in person at an indoor car show and could not stop starring at it. It also had a burnt orange interior that was out of sight.

Gray and desert tan are part of the current industrial/military styling. So you can look armored-up on your way to Starbucks.

Hmmm..... Look at the flat brick front bumper when done, a face only a mother could love. BUT id bet if one was to buy a new DG and park it, in 25 years it would be a money maker, maybe not.

Maybe but I still hate limelight. We called it monkey vomit green in HS and I still think the same today.

I personally like DG I think it looks cool, but have wondered the same thing, if these colors will be popular or sought after in about 25 years from now.

In 1970 were men beating down dealership doors for this color?

Looks like my outdoor male cats peed on it for about a month.

Probably park it anyplace in Detroit and it would be safe, except for the tires/rims.

Bottom wheels pictured looks great. Top wheels on the challenger are not polished, they are the garbage vacuum plate chrome wheels. I had them on a charger and when they're clean they are blinding. They looked perfect on that car, but started to separate after 13k miles, 2 wheels replaced under warranty, at 26k i got rid of the car
