(Part 3) Top products from r/Challenger

Great timing on the question I'm looking to treat my Demonic Red leather seats and love the matte finish. My seats generally stay clean, so a dry soft microfiber is what I have been using. I'm looking to protect and treat the leather to keep it from cracking over time, while NOT adding shine.

​

I didn't do such a good job treating my scat pack seats and after 4 years noticed the beginning of wear and creases. Not really noticeable to the normal person, but my OCD was triggered... I had been using Turtle wax blue Ice which is great 1 step for cleaning and protecting normal leather or fake leather, but not really a good regimen for protecting soft leathers.

​

I've been researching for a while and found my 2 go to brands have products that "allegedly" work really well at cleaning and conditioning without adding shine. It's really tough to find good true reviews with all the sponsored content out there. These are the 2 products I plan to order and test.

​

• Chemical guys cleaner and conditioner $19.00
  
• Adam's cleaner and conditioner $28.89
  
  ​
  
  The basic process is to clean the leather with a proper leather cleaner first to remove any dirt and oils from your skin that build up over time, this can create issues with the leather even though you condition regularly. Once you have a clean surface you can then treat with conditioner, let soak in, then buff off. I'll be using my favorite microfiber towels 1 for cleaning 1 for conditioning and 1 for buffing off.

bro im just going to tell you this. Do yourself a favor and get the dealership to install. This thing is a mother fucking BEAST to install. It took me and three of my buddies 6 hours to install this thing with the part list the other guy posted.

I would have paid the dealership TWICE to install it. Its doable with the right tools, but man, it was 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 in difficulty.

​

And just a heads up, the rivets and push pins he posted didn't work well. I bought other rivets and push pins later, and went back and replaced the ones he posted.

These are the ones that worked for me

Here's Mopar's instructions for removing the front fascia. Just disregard the part of the instruction about removing the chrome grill surrounds (that has nothing to do with what you're doing)

Tool for putting in plastic pop rivets

plastic pop rivets

replaceable rivet clips - not really necessary as you can re-use the ones you take out. But good to have handy.

Trim removal tool - not completely necessary, but helps to have them and prevents scratching things

at 10mm deep socket - this is necessary to get 2 nuts that are stuffed up in the fender. You'll also need a long extension to get to those

It took me about 5 hours to do start to finish, by myself in my garage. Only help I had was lifting the front fascia off (my wife helped) because you really need 2 people lifting (one on each end) to get it off without breaking anything. If you have someone to help you, you can get it done in much less time

Flowmaster Super 10s I got from Amazon, just had them installed at a local muffler shop. Also, had the resonators cut out.

I recently did last year with my '13 Rallye Redline. However, the path I took was using the Dodge/Chrysler MyGig radio. I wanted to keep the Bluetooth speakerphone, steering wheel controls and Sirius. I got the MyGig low RBZ radio off eBay for $250. I tried going with the wiring harness adapter and the sales code change from my (now) ex-dealership. However, after spending the $60 at the dealership, it still didn't work. I bough an open box PAC BCI-CH21 off eBay for $100 (about the cost of the wiring harness and dealership fees to begin with). At first I went with Esky EC170-08 camera, but after 2 of them rusting out within months, I bought COOLINT CT-107B Mini OEM Style Solid Metal Housing 520TVL. I mounted the camera above the license plate, and the only complaint I have is that the horizon is close to the top of the screen. It wasn't until after I did all this, that I saw newer head units can integrate with the steering wheel controls for the price I bought the RBZ.

​

A cool side note about the MyGig radio. On its first power on, it had the Chrysler logo from the previous car. On its second power up, it had the Dodge logo. After upgrading its firmware to the latest version, it changed its color scheme to match the red and black of the Redline.

awesome. get these or youll be sorry. https://www.amazon.com/Door-Shox-VALET-Protector-Protection/dp/B002BB3VWA
I know they work because everytime i get lazy, thinking, "oh i parked all the way in the back theres plenty of parking for these A holes.." I come back to a nice new ding from some dipshit that couldnt resist parking next to me with their junkyard on wheels.

I bought this one like 3 and some years ago so there might be better options at this point, but mine has worked ever since without any issues. I can actually see a bit of the sides of the car where the license plate dips in because of the wide lens.

I bought the dodge brand mats off of amazon, I think.

I got a proclip mount, added a plate with a mounting ball to it then attached a wireless charger phone mount to the ball. I did have to drill out the holes in the proclip in order to attach the mounting ball and I do sometimes bump into it when I shift into reverse (6 speed).
