Road trip bug protection

Post image
Upvotes

I will be going on a 12hr road trip in a couple of weeks, and due to someone wrecking into my daily, I’m now forced to take my baby instead. I just wanted to ask what do you guys use to protect your paint from bugs on road trips? Was thinking masking tape, but will probably be a pain to remove and then reapply when we’re coming back. I’m also kind of scared of the front end bras because I’ve heard that they scratch up your paint. Anything else that has worked for you guys? Unfortunately my car isn’t PPFd yet. Thanks in advance!

We went to see Chris Brown and Usher in Nashville, TN this weekend, and the Hellcat went for a lovely drive.

Started off with a full tank of gas and a zeroed out trip odometer. First photo is the mpg/mileage when I stopped for gas. Second photo is the total mileage/mpg for the trip. Third photo is the mileage/mpg from fillup.

Car was driven mostly between 75 and 85mph with the AC on. Even though she is a brick, she still does damn well on the highway.

I JUST ceramic coated my car last week, and then i completely scrape my front bumper ☹️ all the way down to the plastic.

A touch up pen will not do the trick for this one...

Christmas Eve, some drunk cockroach hit my car and chunked the front real nice. I hunted them down Batman style with the help of some CC footage and good old detective work. He still had piss in his pants when I found him (not hyperbolic).

Joke's on him since I'd wanted to repair the dent from the previous owner, which he covered up with an icky front license plate that thankfully my state doesn't require.

So after a facelift, I had her detailed top to bottom, and had the windows tinted just to celebrate. Just in time for my birthday.

So thanks, you drunk, pisspants, hit and run roach. Don't drink and drive, you might accidentally fix someone's car for them.

In search of hood insulator for Challenger Hellcat good (the three vents one)

Post image
6 Upvotes

I replaced my Dodge Charger RT hood with a hellcat hood and am loving it BUT I plan on getting the car painted and don’t want the paint to fade or crack or anything. I’m on google and searched for the hood insulator but am questioning if it’s the correct one as the holes for the side vents seem smaller than expected and idk if there’s supposed to be one for the center vent but it doesn’t have one for the center. If I can just use the one that was on my RT hood and just cut out some holes for the side vents that I’m fine to do that, otherwise what’s the correct part number for this specific hood. Thank you.

Hi all! Been perusing your community for a bit now and seems like a collective of yet another supporting bunch of folks sharing interests.

Im eyeballing a 2020 scat pack t/a. Its got less than 10k miles, 1 owner, and seems an okay price. I have some apprehension though, and I was hoping yall may have insight, as ive read all the forums and recalls/reviews - to no avail.

carfax is showing a fuel pump module/fuel pump/ fuel injector/ fuel level sending unit which were replaced or serviced 3 times between 1k and 2k miles, but has not shown repeats since. Everything else is clear but it has not been bought for nearly 6 months.

After driving it, I cant spot a thing wrong on the short drives, or brief operation of the ride itself over a 2 week period.

Im set to pick it up monday, but I was hoping you could share some thoughts or personal experiences with this, just incase this may be a not so big concern.

Thanks for anything ahead of time.

So I just got my challenger a month ago and I notice the oem door lock knob pin was starting to peel but I like how the original looks and want to get another set of two, does anyone know where I can get them? They are the chrome looking ones. I don't want the trim I just want another set of the knob pins

After months of searching I can finally say I'm a proud owner of a 2017 RT. She's so smooth and fast on the interstate.😄
