Ok, that is badass. What bulbs? Are they plug and play? Just found my next mods...thanks guys.
Contact Diode Dynamics. I got the interior, under hood and trunk kits. Easy installation.

Nice, I didn’t think to get carbon for the air vents! I’ll have to order those. Looks great
Make sure to clean good and use some 3M adhesion wipes.

2015 Challenger Hellcat M6

'15 Challenger HC M6 [1st allocation round]
- 5 wheel speed sensor failures in the first four years. all good since the last replacement
- 2 radiator replacements [1st as part o the poorly constructed radiator mess, 2nd a pinhole keak in a weld behond the fan shroud]
- fender and wheel well liner - deer suicide assault, deer broke its neck, deer turned into sausage and stuff
- door, quarter panel, wheel well liner, wheel - little old granny in a caddie, too blind to see the big-ass blue car in front of her, went WOT, bounced off, most of the caddie's body panels strewn all over the place
- at just over 41K - Heater Core - in surgery now, and awaiting parts. As it was moved into the body shop to begin the interior teardown, shop supe heard a noise he didn't like, so waiting on approval for a new supercharger [bearing noise - I didn't notice it outdoors, but in the confined space of the bay at their bodyshop, can't miss it, even with my bad hearing]. And some folks called me a fool for buying the extended warranty ...
Edit: just ordered a Litens 3.17 pulley kit for the new SC, and the V86 and cannister recalls will be knocked out while they wait for the other parts to arrive

beginning to think its cursed. every time i get the time away from work to head to CMP for instruction and play time on the track, cat gets assaulted, something breaks, corona, ... or in this case the Legion of Demons/Mopar two-day private rental at the House of Hook the 17th-18th, and heater core craps out, SC bearing whines like a little bitch, ...
got to wonder whats coming up next

on the good side, I didn't get the usual free rental this time around. due to the shortage of rental cars, enterprise handed over a '20 1500 [whatever they call the largest cab], and yes its got a Hemi

I'm glad this thread was started, I hope members will participate, it will be great information for Hellcat owner. I'm not high mileage at 14,000 miles but I will be keeping tabs on this thread, so far my Hellcat has been absolutely perfect and between my 4X4 both are my daily drivers.

Same here...2018 coming up on 19,000 miles. COVID has lowered my daily usage a lot, but still drive it every chance I get.

What is considered high mileage?? Back in the day it was considered how many trees it had been lifted out of, or whose yards.??? The red car with the lights. Sorry. Looked like a bad mod hit with car for sale at the 3rd pawn shop. Never get the smell out.

just noticed I left off a few things that failed early on.
- 1 complete exhaust valve, followed by 2 actuators, a 4 springs, all in the first 10000 miles
- 3 radiators [1 OEM, 2 Mishimoto (well 3 Mishi's if I count the one UPS used for forklift target practice)]. Latest one failed during pressure testing after the new heater core was installed. Interesting sound from the pass side endcap as the weld split. This one dealership visit will come very close to $10k in parts and labor, all fortunately under warranty, and it all started with one little leak
