What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[Hunter]

DONT drink bourbon at 6am, use coffee instead!

Great idea.
Had a boss that drank scotch at 6 am.
Couldn't draw a straight line until he did.
Brilliant man.
Such a waste.

What did they charge to powder coat them?

What did they charge to powder coat them?

$200 per. There was a shop near me that used to do $100 per but they stopped. Zen told me they probably weren’t prepping the way they do and Zen will put back the decals and provide a substantial warranty. Think they side life but don’t quote me. They are already doing work on it so I figured part of my justification is convenience. Check my IG: @redeyewodebody. Hoping to post pix of their work throughout the week.

That's not too bad if they're taking the extra time to prep it right. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Put her back up to figure out which tire lost a belt. Shakes like a sob. Already have demon replicas on order.

Out of curiosity, how does a tire lose a belt? Would that cause the car to pull to the right or left?

"Belts provide stability and strength to the tread area of the tire. Broken belts in tires result from defects in manufacturing, improper mounting, degraded rubber from aging, exposure to heat, ozone, debris or oversteer. Broken belts are extremely dangerous and frequently occur while the vehicle is moving on the highway. Broken belts sometimes occur when a tire lacks nylon overlay safety strips."

Copy and paste was easier...

Over the weekend we added silicone license plate frames/mounts, to both the rear plate and the front plate that is on a Sto N Sho. The license plates looked naked on the Cat, and since the rear plate sits directly on the Cat I thought that could lead to rust/discoloration over time due to rain and washing.

I ordered two different brands just to see if there were any differences, Randalfy and Rightcar Solutions. They were the same price and were basically the same product. The Randalfy has larger screw holes, which add no value for my Connecticut plate, but maybe in another state screw holes could be different. They both have water drain holes on the lower side only, so that is the only place where you need to pay attention when inserting the license plate.

Fitment was spot on for both, you just slip the plate into the outer surround lip and it is well secured. I definitely recommend either one as a license plate mount, easy install, not the typical cheap flimsy plastic mount, looks good, and cost is inexpensive at $15.

Rightcar Solutions on left, Randalfy to the right. This is the front side where the license plate fits into the outer surround lip.

Yeah thats about it. In my case a severe vibration. The tires were slightly worn then I had a high speed run that did them I think.

Where did you find these?

Getting the windows tinted.

What tint percent did you go with? We did 35% on the side windows and 70% on the front windshield.

Great idea... I just used these to cover the backside of bolt but still could leave a mark in time.

Great idea as well. Is that what you used on the front with the Sto N Sho since the backside of the bolts are exposed? I had that concern so I used teflon tape, not the best but gets the job done. These caps make it look nicer.

I also ordered black license plate screws for the rear plate.

Yes... I was afraid it would rub and leave a mark. It was the best I could think of at the time and used a little rubber cabinet door stop for the drive down to the parts store for the small cover caps. My OCD was in full affect as usual...

Same here, I am going to go through my junkbin to see if I have any caps laying around else they will be added to my weekend chore/HomeDepot list.

Did you find a local upholstery store to do it? I looked everywhere for those but they do not exist, I could only find metal ones with the Hellcat logo which I do not like.

Max legal in the state of Texas. I'm not sure what the percentage is.
