I went with these from the Retrofit Source: Fitted Halos: Profile Prism RGB - Color Changing LED Headlight Accent Lighting Products from LED Concepts

RGB LED with a dedicated switch back for turn signal use. Here they are installed and fully working. I now realize how bad my headlight lenses are and will get polished out in the coming weeks.







Love the lighted SRT logo!!!

If we have a wet winter like last year I expect you'll really appreciate a set of those DWS rubbers.

Galactus hungers...
Yeah... I had them, in a smaller size, and burned through them in like 8k miles.

My Hellcat... like all of them, suffers from an abundance of torque. It's difficult to put power down to the road, without spinning the damn tires.

I let them get down to the minimum wear mark and went with wider wheels and tires. Seems to be helping, immensely :)

I don't know what I would begin to do with that much torque.

rebuilt the rear half of my Magnum

Motor vehicle Automotive tire Bumper Rim Automotive exterior
Just finished swapping in a 3.06 Getrag, axles, hubs, guibo, Energy Suspension subframe bushings and differential mount bushings, rear brakes & rotors, rebuilt and repainted the rear calipers. Just drove it - what a difference! feels so solid now and pulls a lot harder than with the whining 2.82 one-legger and mushy bushings!

How bad was it to get those subframe bushings out? I have a set of poly bushings I've been putting off to install for about 2 years now now

Its not a job for the timid, that’s for sure! The front two were more worn and easier to cut the rubber out with a sawzall.
The tough part is removing the old ones-the new ones press in by hand or a few taps with a hammer. I thought about making a press with allthread, tubing and washers but was having a tough time finding steel tubing in small quantities in 3.5â€� and 4.5â€� ID. The differential bushings came out very easily with a sledge hammer and 46mm Snap-on impact socketí ½í¸�. The subframe bushings made a huge difference. The car feels so solid and planted now.

I'm thinking about making a press as well but I'm also thinking about taking a torch and burning them out lol. It's the last thing I need to do to complete my suspension

If you make a press, they come out pretty easily (according to some videos I have seen) and you wont need to torch them. I took one of the fronts out with sawzall and hand chisel, just to see if it could be done-and yes it can. You have the bushings, do it! Your car will feel so much better! I guarantee you will feel like you accomplished something!

Honestly bro was it a pain the ass cause it took alot of work or was it cause it seemed impossible? I don't mind spending an afternoon getting those suckers out as long as it seems like I can get it done with above avarage tool kit

Not impossible at all, but certainly a lot of work. but well worth it. If you are comfortable with a sawzall, you are fine. The press looks easier if you can get the parts together.
