Would replacing the stock HC hood with an oem Demon hood be up-badging?

[Old Mopar Guy]

No replacing the HC badges with Demon, no adding the wide-body flares, no Demon rims, etc. Just a hood swap…up badging or no?

 

[Jimmy N.]

Not if the hood is installed on a Demon.

 

[MMissile]

After looking at both since purchasing my Hellcat, I think the hood on my Cat looks better. I have an unopened, large, mopar box... containing a Demon hood.
It'll sit, till I decide what to do with it.

I like this hood, better....

 

[GBLWRMR]

No. I like both hoods and if I had the space, I'd have both and swap them once every year or so but, I don't.

 

[RGPIII]

Not at all, i swap back and forth with my stock hellcat hood and my redeye hood.

 

[Jimmy N.]

What's a Redeye hood?

 

[45-70govt]

I'm still bugged that Dodge gave the Scatpack idiots the original Hellcat hood.

What's a Redeye hood?

Probably referring to the 2019+ hellcat/redeye hood

 

[Boris]

The hood provided a supposed performance upgrade which is why it was designed as such.
Even gave it a name "Air Grabber"

It's not an upbadge.
Putting a Demon badge on a Scat Pack, thats upbadging. Unless you actually put a Demon engine in the thing.

I used to think so but all bets are off since seeing an SXT with a Hellcat hood

 

[Primetime Hellcat 17]

I put a carbon fiber demon hood on my Challanger.
in my opinion it looked 10 times better. Sold the stock hood the next day. 👍
Put it on for a day or 2, to see if you like it.

Pisses me off to this day that Dodge pulled this crap on us + slapped them on GT Durango's too - asshats !!

Not upbadging unless you're putting demon badges on it.
