Wow, you are so quick to jump and judge something you don’t even understand. This car is used on the track. Everything done to this car has served a purpose. The Hellcat bumper allows more air in to cool the power steering cooler and added oil coolers, the Hellcat hood helps extract heat, the widebody allows me to run demon wheels and 200tw tires for a series that I compete in. There is not a single badge on the car that says Hellcat or demon, just one SRT8 badge on the spoiler. I have nothing negative to say to you, I just wish more people would take a deeper look at a build/ page / KZread channel before jumping to conclusions and bashing something they don’t understand.

Really appreciate your videos and your honesty. This channel should blow up soon. Just a couple questions. If you glue it, you basically can’t remove it right? It’ll be permanently on the car? And at 9:42, just about as you’re removing the rear fender off the car, what is that stuff left behind on the paint? It that glue or tape or rust or something else? I’m worried about this thing rusting up my fenders. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again for the great video

@TIRADORACING

Hey Anthony thanks for the kind words! To answer your question it is not rust! Lol it’s seam sealer. When you cut the rear of the car it is 2 layers. You cut the first layer off then fillet the second layer and fold it up to close the gap. You weld that together then apply the seam sealer to protect it from rust. Same stuff TJ Hunt used on his widebody Supra he built for Sema last year. I did film the cutting process but I lost all the video ☹️

Hello good sir ‼️

Do you recommend to hold the flair tight for about 10-15 min before moving on to the next one?

My plastic step the rear metal bumper of my ram was lifting, so I told the dealer. They used the 3m glue to secure it. It’s starting to lift again. They may have used clear not black. I’m one of the parts guys at the dealer I don’t remember what I gave the tech. Anyway, it’s not nearly as bad as it was. Just keep an eye on them. Also,They glued one spot you’re gluing the whole thing.

@TIRADORACING

4 жыл бұрын

It’s all in the prep work honestly.....I learned this after the fact but the glue, the metal, and the plastic all have to be at the same temperature due to differences in expansion rates. So the way I did it was wrong. Secondly it would have been better to sand where the glue mounts to the car to give the glue something to hang on to. I’m not too worried, at the end of the season I’ll blow it apart and re do it all.

What if you took a paint brush to the glue to level it out instead of a bead? Apply smaller bead on both then 1 light brush stroke all the way?

Versus the wheels looking “tucked” in and the flares sticking out over the wheels? Thx

@TIRADORACING

Yes this video is kind of old, check out some of newer ones. I’m running oem Dodge Demon wheels 18x11 -4.5 offset with Nitto 555 g2 315/40/18 on all 4 corners. Perfect is subjective so I will not say it will be a perfect fit because perfect for you and me are totally different. But will it look like a widebody Hellcat yes. Oem widebody wheels are 20x12 -2.5 offset. It’s all about offset when widening the car. Anything with a + positive offset will bring the wheel in (per say). A negative offset will push the wheel out. (This is a really basic way to think of it).

Anybody looking to put these on you can start with $700 to buy them, then by the time you’re done painting (Base-coat clearcoat) by a body shop and they have to glue them on the right way not 3M tape, now you’re probably looking at the $1800 to $2000 that may change by region where you live. Body shops aren’t cheap, especially the ones that know what they’re doing and to do the job the right way and once you glue them on there on for good, no taking them off without taking off the glue which will dry rock hard. So it looks like the whole thing would cost about $2700 to $3000. if you don’t want any problems after putting them on.

Hey bro, I have a hellcat here in Austin. I was wondering if you run wheels with a wider offset (or spacers if that's your thing) are you rubbing on your fenders? I got this widebody kit for 550 and am regretting it because I feel like I need to cut the body anyway for my wheels to fit and not rub on bumps. Thanks

All depends on OFFSET. You can have 20x11 0 or 20x11 -4.5 like the demons. Without that offset number o really don’t know. But based off experience, you WILL need to cut some especially if you want the wheel flush with the fender. Just play with it and see what you can or can’t get away with

One high speed turn on the track and the Lil Devil flares will meet the tires in a heart beat. I might have been able to run wider tires out back but that’s only half the battle as I need just as wide a tire up front. So in the end the LD flares wouldn’t have solved my problem.... the goal wasn’t purely aesthetic, but to be able to run wider wheels and competitive tires for the Optima Ultimate Street Car series.

Hey Marcos, So the answer is in tour question, you would have to get wheels with the correct offset. I personally went with OEM Dodge Demon wheels to run competitive tires in the optima series but those specs are 18x11 with a -4.5 offset Oem Hellcat and scat pack widebody wheels are 20x12 with a -2.5 off set. The width of the wheel doesn’t necessarily matter if you have the incorrect offset. I use to run TSW in 20x10 +20 offset all the way around on my narrow body. And I even had a set of Forgeline Wheels with the rear being a 20x10.5 with the correct offset to sit flush with the narrow body.

If your lowered and get the correct offset wheel that pokes out then you’ll be rubbing your fenders. I have friends who did the widebody and widebody Hellcat/scatpack wheels and they ride on stock suspension so they don’t rub at all! I was lowered so when I added the demon wheels I had to cut my fenders. Adding wider tires alone will not fill out the fender flares YOU NEED THE CORRECT OFFSET that pushes the wheel out. Hope this helps!

@@TIRADORACING You covered just about everything. Thank you. Only question left is, how much 'lowered' were you? I plan to stay stock but run a taller tire. So if you're lowered an inch and I want to gain an inch in total dia, then it sounds like I'll rub. Thanks for your time.

Is your car lowered? If that why you had to cut for clearance for bigger wheels?

@TIRADORACING

Yes my car is aggressively low. Secondly I use it for racing. So when the car has body roll the wheels and tires would touch the fenders. Not the wheels and tires in this video, this video is old, but my demon wheels and tires.

And not just bigger wheels because I went from 20x10 wheels to 18x11 wheels. The Demon wheels have an aggressive offset that poke past the stock fender line. Unlike the 20 inch TSW’s in this video that stay inside the factory fenders.

I wish they made a bolt on kit. Looks like a pain.

TIRADO RACING thanks i should’ve went with this at first i used some butyl sealant i already had and it’s lifting when the car sits in heat only with the front fenders at the top .. it came out great just the lifting killing me 🤣🤣 trying to get it together before i get everything wrapped in satin black

I had some lifting and added a dab of super glue and it worked lol idk how bad your lifting was but mine wasn’t too bad. Also make sure you do it in a controlled environment where the glue and flares and car are all the same temperature. I did mine in 30* so I was 100% bound to get lifting issues in the summer and so far it hasn’t been too bad just a small spot here and there

Nah man. Like I said the OLDER generation headlamps are bigger. The 2015+ (this includes 2019) are the right size. It’s a Hellcat bumper, there weren’t hellcats pre 2015. So you wouldn’t need to do all these crazy steps

To answer your question no. I did not have to cut anything on my car to put the flares on. BUT I did cut the car and matched the cuts to the flares to put the demon wheels and tires on. My car is lowered and I use it for racing and I needed the clearance for the bigger wheels and tires.

Did you use the glue and the tape together

Yea 20x11, it all depends on the offset. Can you fit 20x11 on the narrow body? I’m not sure. Will 20x11 fit on the widebody, yes. But your going to need the right offset to fill the wider wheel well.

Ken Doug If your lowered and are going to run wide wheels yes you need to cut before you install the flares. It’s hard to cut the car with the flares on. Others have ran the flares without cutting, and with wider wheels with the right offset***im not saying to do this, I’m just stating others have done so before****I do not know what size tires they used either so the tire height might have some effect as well**** All I can tell you is what I did, I cut my car to make room for my oem demon wheels, and my car is lowered and I use my car for racing So the benefits of running more tire far outweighed me cutting my car so it was easy for me to cut my car. Whatever choice you decided to go with do so at your own risk and with your own judgement.

Nice kit but why not just add an insulation rubber piece like they do on the vw bugs fenders. The kit is never perfect....

@TIRADORACING

3 жыл бұрын

Honestly you don’t need it... it’s pretty close to oem. If you add a rubber insulator it’s going to create more space between the flare and the contact surface. It’ll make the flare be further away from the body. It’s been a while now and I have a couple of autox days on the car out in the Texas summer weather and their still on there.

Can’t you get a moped kit ? I used to hate that you pay 80k for a redeye widebody and then mopar offers half the parts on new cars to make other challengers look like red eyes and demons,I felt like what’s the point in feeling like your part of a small group ,if everyone can pretend to be in it for a 1/2 the price..now it’s like who cares as long as each person enjoys themselves

A mopar kit would be replacing the entire rear quarters and front fenders. I bought mopar front fender flares to try and do the swap but it’s 10x harder. Each flare has 30 clips that seat into the fender and rear quarter. Secondly. The amount of time and money spent on the engine, transmission, interior etc.... didn’t make sense for me to go out and buy a scat pack widebody and start from scratch. Your viewing it as people can “pretend” to be a part of a group of high performance cars. In my case I never said I was trying to be Hellcat or demon The added cooling benefits of the Hellcat bumper and hood are UNDENIABLE. So why would I cut holes in my bumper and old hood when I could easily slap the new ones on and allow more air flow in my engine compartment. You see it as someone playing pretend, I see it as a way to make my track oriented challenger faster and cooler. I’m not denying you of your viewpoint, it’s yours. I’m just letting you know why I did what I did. Wider wheels, more grip, Hellcat body modifications more cooling, things don’t break anymore.

These are quite expensive for what you get, horrible fitment, looks good if it would stay, I think they could have been formed better for a better fit

@TIRADORACING

4 жыл бұрын

to make it look good and to make it stay is all about the prep and installation. If you ask me personally, you get what you pay for.... I purchased oem flares before this and the oem flares really don’t work unless you have widebody fenders and rear quarter panels for them to snap into. On top of that the front and rear bumpers also have grooves for the flares to sit into. And that’s the best way to get the nice tight oem look. But that’s new fenders, new rear quarter panels, front and rear bumpers, plus the flares. I had it priced out and it came out to almost 11k with labor to install and after paint. So when you compare the price of oem, to aftermarket I would say you get what pay for. Just my .2. For right around 1k bucks after paint and labor to install you can make it look decent. Some have made it look really good!

Always tape never glue, glue destroys your paint job if you need to remove it. Tape works perfect if the product you are installing fits correctly and isnt mass produced junk

@TIRADORACING

2 жыл бұрын

Idk, a lot of people has successfully used this kit. And yes glue will destroy the paint, but I (as in personal preference here) cut and lowered my car for the wheels and tires to clear the original body lines. So I had 0 intentions of taking it off or ever going back to a narrow body. You gotta remember that when you watch these videos, their not an end all be all. I’m just documenting my journey. If you don’t like it don’t do it.

I wish you luck with that kit but IMHO, I think it's garbage. I think you are going to have issues with the top of the front fenders pulling away from the quarter panel. Even with that 3M glue, I've see this kit pull away from the front quarter panel once this kit is exposed to the elements. Heat and cold will cause it to expand and contract which will make it pull away.

Been 1 month of daily driving in the rain, Texas sun, Texas cold sprouts, spirited driving, even some “high” speed tests at the local track. So you wishing me luck has paid off! I’ll keep posting videos as things change. I have learned that it’s best to sand the paint so the glue has something to hang on to. It’s also best to apply in a controlled environment where all elements, the car, the flares and the glue are the same temperature. Which I did not do 😖(yikes!) So I foresee some issues in the future as for now I’ll keep driving it and when the time comes I’ll fix any imperfections! All part of playing with cars man!
