2015+ Challenger Trunk lid - Debadge and No More Scratches

▽▽▽ ALL PART INFO IN DESCRIPTION ▽▽▽
I’ve always wanted to debadge my Scat Pack and put a custom decal in the trunk of my car, but the area would still not be protected from scratches. Also Vinyl Decals tent to catch rags when cleaning an peel up. After a few weeks of trial and error I found the solution to my scratching issue and also installed my custom decal in a way that will protect it maintaining my blacked out look.

    The logo is outstanding. The contrast there will be terrific and while the "Dodge" is now absent, I think that adds a lot of "zing" to the back-end.

    I'm digging the decal at the beginning and I did pause the video to type this. I just bought a new 2022 Challenger and as a matter of fact... I noticed a bunch of scratches in the same spot on my car so I definitely need to watch and finish this video because I have less than 1500 miles on the clock and see a bunch of freaking scratches and not happy about it at all. Just bought the car a month ago and its totally mint everywhere else on the car but right there and its driving me crazy with my ocd... I gotta do something about this too lol !!!

    Awesome look! I have always wondered what to do with that space. I removed the DODGE logos as well and use some plastix scratch remover to clean it up. Stays good for a while but after a few washes, it has swirls again. Finally i bit the bullet and had the car coated is ceramic 9h pro and all my issues went away. Now i have a swirl free car and the ceramic 9h pro keeps it that way.

    I removed Dodge lettering, made a license-plate size backplate out of diamond tread aluminum, painted it black, and affixed to it a 13" 3D printed "Challenger" in the Challenger script after painting it. I also installed U-channel rubber molding (with open channel facing upwards} all along that seam above the tail lights; it eliminated 80-90% of the dreaded "trunk weeping" after washing.

    I like it a LOT and also share your frustration in that the Charger's don't have a solid fix for this either. The Jokey, Gooney >SNAP< every time of the plastic insert that we're supposed to grab under the trunk lid is terrible and - inevitably, the spoiler we have becomes a "handle" for both my wife and daughter. This "strap" idea is solid and - I just bought a series of extra ones from Stupid Car Tray. I wonder if those might work too?

    Filling the area between the tail lights with an embossed logo was a great idea. It would be too large if it was any color on black. I like it. I removed the DODGE letters from my Scat Pack and replaced them with a flat black Scat Pack decal. I like the subtle look but like you said the microfiber towel catches the edges of the decal and it doesn't hide the scratches.

    I have seen this mod lately in a few challengers, I do agree that it is a pain to deal with that scratchable surface of that area but the subtle/clean design solution that dodge designers put into putting that detail of the dodge badge was the best solution(in my opinion) I find it attractive and simple anything that people wants to do with it is all about taste or preference, some want to be purist some want to stand out. i probable won't do mine but i would like to find a solution to that scratchable glossy surface :)

    yes in fact I did this recently on a friends Challenger here is a photo gallery of the light imgur.com/a/QmM9L. I traced just outside of the Red area on the tail light and laid in the New Luxe Dark Smoke.

    Anyone know how to adjust the trunk on these challengers to get the lights even?

  • @WorkPlayDrive

    @WorkPlayDrive

    7 жыл бұрын

    The trunk lid is adjusted at a few points, depending on how bad your alignment is you may be able to adjust in the following order. - If the trunk lid is aligned with the top of the fenders perfectly and the lights are not you should be able to open the trunk and loosen the wing nuts holding the lights in place depending on the alignment you may need to adjust the lights in the right or left fender or the assembly in the trunk lid. Loosen the wingnuts just enough to allow the light to move, but remain still so you can pop open the trunk and tighten once perfect. Close the trunk adjust all lights to your liking then open and tighten them down. - if the trunk lid AND lights are off a bit the over slam bumpers are your first adjustment. These are hex head rubber pieces that can be turned in or out of the rear bumper to lift and lower each side of the trunk lid. This is a simple adjustment but I've seen in one or 2 occasions where this needs to be done along with the Light adjustment. If it's too far off and you can't get it aligned with the next step may help. - The trunk latch can be accessed by removing the carpet blocking it. Then loosen the bolts holding it in place and adjust evenly up or down depending on your needs. From there you can then try adjusting the bumpers and/or lights again to even it out if needed. - In the case where the trunk does not align with the fender and the sides are uneven (not the lights) the hinges need to be adjusted. I have not done this yet and after replacing my hood and aligning that perfectly this is a more advanced task and may require the dealer's help unless you are the adventurous type like me and don't mind messing with it for a few hours. Hope that helps

    Exhaust tone is a very personal choice, so what sounds awesome to me may not sound good to you. Your best bet for advice is to join a challenger group, these discussions happen weekly and I know for a fact they can sound really nice if done' correctly. Usually with the exhaust you go with an intake as well You can go as simple as a resonator delete kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZH1lsbx-cbenkrw.html or leave the resonators and do a mid muffler delete kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJZ2k6uqd6eTYZs.html as you can see both offer different sounds If you decide to go with a replacement exhaust system you will need to do some browsing to find the tone you want. while it's always best to listen to these sounds in person before buying you can at least narrow down the tone you want by watching various videos in different setups people put on KZread. In addition to the brand and type of exhaust added Pay very close attention to the following items once you find the sound that you like Pipe diameter Cold air Intake added? what parts of the original exhaust remain (Mid Mufflers, Cats, Resonators) Hope this helped.

    Hey! So, I'm a little confused as to how you de-scratched the black portion after you debadged. I'm in the market for the larger Challenger Script Emblem, so I'm going to debadge once I find one at the right price, but I want to be able to get all the nasty swirl patterns and scratches off the black after I debadge. I noticed you linked clay for the Vinyl process, but it looked like you used a solution or something after you debadged. Was that just soap or something else? Cause I'm not looking to cover mine over as you did, I just wanna clean it up before I put the script emblem on it. Thanks! Love the content and the finished product, though! Looks great! I like that it turned out subtle!

    The scratches can be polished out with a plastic polish or a very fine grit polish and a mini rotary polisher. The sad part is it only lasts a few months before it's all covered in swirls again. I finally gave up and put the vinyl to cover the area. luxe makes a 3 layer decal with the challenger script just in case you're interested. bit.ly/Luxe3layer

    Yes just do a good post heat and give the vinyl 48 hours to set before adding the letters back. If you use the 3m 1080 M12 Matte Black you can clean it with 70% Isopropyl alcohol without damaging the film before sticking down the letters. You will need to clean off the letters and use a good automotive trim adhesive and hand cut to size.
