Both Daytona models are available in Daytona Blue, Bright White, Billet Silver, or Pitch Black colors, with the package adding dark accents in the form of satin black finishes for the front crosshair grille, the custom vinyl hood graphic, roof wrap, rear R/T spoiler and the “DAYTONA” graphic on the rear quarter panels.
