Last week I posted about a new Stainless Steel hood latch for 2008-2012 Challengers from Dales CUDA shop, that I ordered for the my car. More info on pricing and how to order in the link above.
Today that package arrived via USPS and I figured I could bang this out in less then 10 minutes (15 with pictures).
While at the local Home Depot here in Oviedo (Florida) spotted flyers at the door about a Car show Saturday Aug 4th 10am till 1pm
No reservations or fees required, Prizes and awards will be given. At the Oviedo Home Depot, parking lot.
Do you like to show off your engine bay but the hood latch cause you to have nightmares because it’s all scratched and banged up? Well Dale’s CUDA shop has the answer. A Stainless Steel hood latch with matching hardware.
This replacement Stainless Steel hood latch fits 2008-2012 Challengers. Cost is $46.10 shipped via ebay
UPDATE: Dales has them on sale for $29.95 in their own web shop.

* I’ll post some before and after pictures when I receive mine.
Next mod, much better brakes without breaking the bank.
Our stock RT Challengers have a front rotor of 13.6 diameter and 1.10 thick but the SRT rotor is 14.2 diameter and 1.26 thick. The backs rotors are 12.625 diameter and .875 thick and the SRT rotor 13.75 diameter and 1.10 thick.
Now with a very inexpensive adapter kit you can put SRT rotors on the front and Charger Police package adapters to accommodate larger rotors on the back for an all around better braking experience for about the same price to replace your rotors at your local brake shop.
With that said, the two main pieces are the adapters to fit our stock calipers to the larger and thicker rotors. So far I’ve ordered the two brackets:
Front: Serious Metal front kit (adapters only) Note they are an Canadian company thus exchange rates apply
Rear: Mopar Part # 5175065AB (Charger Police Package)
Once these parts arrive, I’ll order the brake pads (2005 Corvette pads #PGM731), SRT rotors (slotted and dimpled) for the front and Charger (slotted and dimpled) rotors for the back
I’ll do a step by step installation guide when all the parts arrive.
The new 2013 Dodge Dart uses the new Dodge logo that incorporate the RED // marks and some Challenger owners think they look good on our cars and I agree.
You will have to remove the mounting tabs on the back and use 3M tape to adhere to the grill or fender.
– Amazon has these for $23.95
Allpar.com is reporting the following new feature and paint colors for the 2013 Challenger
