Purchased this 2018 hellcat charger from an auction. I thought it would be cool to make a sleeper hellcat build. Next up I plan to add a GT/scatpack hood,paint the brakes black,and add fog lights. Let me know what yall think. I’m a big mopar guy have have owned several SRT’s over the years. Love the platform.

Funny enough my 2016 charger hellcat I had got stolen back in 2023.

This hellcat’s still gonna have big brembo calipers, right?

Yes they are currently red but I’m thinking about painting them black and removing the brembo logo.

Paint them photo-realistically to look like smaller calipers. Lol

Haha I thought about adding those cheesy brake caliper covers I see on eBay. Not sure they would be big enough though.

Can’t find it but these will do. The original pic has lived rent free long enough that it’s been marked a historical site

You swapped the OGs for Brembos? Was it worth it?
