    I needed something to curb my speeding habit

    So I bought a DTR.

    Hey guys,

    Loooong time lurker (like 2004ish), and recent 04 Marauder owner. I honestly wasn't overly impressed with DTR when seeing them in pictures, but my goodness when I saw this in person it was all over.

    It was purchased from a dealer, but it looks like the previous owner may have been on here? It has Marauder branded red calipers and cobra badging (not a huge fan of the deceptive badging).

    Anyway, I purchased it in Southern California but I live in Las Vegas these days. Anyone out here?

    From what I've seen it's a super helpful and friendly forum and look forward to being an official member.

    are you sure the calipers actually say marauder? or are they caliper covers.

    they could be Jerry's machined/engraved calipers or there are caliper covers with marauder on them.

    oh damn, I should have posted this earlier; I've actually had it for about a month. What were you doing in sleepy Laughlin?

    btw, to answer a couple questions, I'm gonna guess these are caliper covers now that it was mentioned. I'll snap a pic.

    GET ONE! I can't emphasize enough how much better they look in person.

    Let's definitely do that. I saw a guy with a DTR on Cactus a couple weeks ago; could have blown me over with a feather.

    None that I know of other than the badging and what I'm assuming are caliper covers.

    I think a tune is my first serious order of business with everyone talking about how it changes the car BIGLY.
