Anyone have a roof rack on their cat? If so, please share your pictures and recommendations! I'm thinking of buying a setup from Yakima to haul my SUP boards in the summer (if possible).

Yikes---- Jeep makes a vehicle better suited for that purpose! My OCD says I need a drink now for even thinking about a roof rack install on a Hellcat.

I used one of these on my prior car for surf boards:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006Q4ATA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I noticed no paint damage after use (made sure paint was clean before install.) They make similar products for larger boards like SUP's. Negatives are possible paint scratching, door seal damage, wind noise and water ingress into the cabin if used while its raining. Positives are its easy to use, temporary and stores in a nice small package. I would do 80 mph + with two boards attached and had no issues. I have not used this on the Hellcat as yet and probably will not for fear of paint scratching. This tank is so big short boards fit inside it!

'Tis the life for people that live near beaches and coasts. It makes me say yikes too but those that live in those areas don't seem to mind their cars rusting from underneath them.

Only good thing about ghetto crime ridden NM is the total lack of cancer on our cars. I understand how lucky I am in that respect.

I was going to say the same, but for once I was not going to be that anti family car guy. What about a Trackhawk? Looks normal with a roof rack, 4 doors, and still Hellcat power:unsure:

I've seen roof rack set ups on Ferrari's and Lambo's, I'm not sure why this group is so against it being set up for a Dodge? My roof has PPF and is ceramic coated, not worried about scratches. Actually more worried about scratches on my SUP board!

LOL, wrong group to ask. I bought my car to enjoy it and take it wherever I feel like. I just want to see what it looks like, but I think I got my answer. Not a Charger but it'll do :ROFLMAO:

It's your car, have at it and enjoy... ;)



(Would you mind much posting up your VIN and major options and color so we can permanently tag your car in case you ever decide to sell?)


:p


j/k, mostly....

Personally, I don't care if you paint your car purple with pink polka dots. ( I may laugh at ya' but I don't care.). Just be yourself brother.

Yeah, that would be funny no doubt. I don't surf, my 12 year old son does though. I just sit on the beach and read. (y)
