That looks amazing. One thing I really hate in my 07 Daytona is the damn steering wheel this might be in my future plans instead of molding and modifying a newer steering wheel to fit.

That was also my initial plan but then looking at the cost of one of the newer wheels, the work required to install it (especially if you want to retain steering wheel controls) and it still leaving a good size gap between the wheel and the steering column cover, I opted for this instead.

After multiple tries to get a Bluetooth solution to work consistently, and the desire for a backup cam now that I have a toddler, I installed a pioneer 8200nex. I have one 8200 and a 7200 in my other cars and have been enjoying the car play experience so decided to install one in the MSRT as well. Also installed the carplay2air dongle for wirelessness. So far everything is working great and install was super straightforward for all components. Loving the maestro features as well.

I polished my headlights using a Meguiars kit bought from Walmart. They looked awful before and now the passenger side light looks like brand new. The driver's side light is still a tiny bit hazy but looks 100 times better than it did. :thumbs_u:

The pink thingy - park lock out mechanism - finally broke on my 2006 300c SRT8.

This "project" has been so long in the making I had to lookup when I bought this... I got the Billet Technology aluminum replacement part in 2012, so I have been driving around with it in my center console for 8 years! Luckily it broke in my garage and replacement wasn't a huge hassle, and my procrastination didn't make too much trouble for me.

Lucky that it broke in your garage. When I bought my 06 SRT it had 164K on it and I didn't know the status, so that was one of the first things I did. A little peace of mind (and insurance) goes a long way, IMO.

I am expecting mine to break too, but I won't spend money to fix it. I don't know where I saw it, but after it broke, someone simply drilled a small hole through the arm where that little eyelet for the spring goes, and inserted a cotterpin. The head of the cotterpin is where the spring will attach and then just bend the legs of the pin around to hold it in place. That's my plan. I will buy a spare one from the junkyard and mod it in this way to have ready for when mine does let go.

I’m surprised you waited this long. When I bought my 07 with 30k mikes the first week I had that part ordered, I already knew prior from an old buddy that owned a Charger and didn’t want the damn thing breaking while I was in a drive thru or something.

Dorman makes an aluminum one for like $8.

LOL.

There was a recall from Chrysler on that. Mine broke around 2010 and I put the Billet one in. A few years later I received the recall notice - i told Chrysler that I had replaced it and so they sent me the 30 bucks or so to cover the BT part. A couple years ago I was in for air bag recall and the dealer still showed recall for the pink thingy, but i declined as the BT was doing fine.
