Wrap around "bumble bee" stripes accent the R/T's sporty flavor. The stripes run across the rear deck and down the quarter panels. The Charger R/T models featured leather bucket seats, wooci grain steering wheel, and wood grain inserts on the instrument panel. The basic Charger and Charger R/T have a "tunnel roof" and the rear window is slanted less. The grille is flush mounted instead of recessed to improve air flow and the headlights are fixed.
