Looks great (but I'm a little baised toward that color any way.)

Too bad the dealer put that %$^'n front license plate bracket on. There's plenty of grill-mounted aftermarket plate brackets. I can't understand why they still insist on screwing 2 damn sheetmetal screws through a $2,000 front fascia. Ugh!

How do like the Redeye? Gotta love the extra 100 horses over the regular Hellcat. BTW, I assume you checked out the SAE report on the emission certification testing for those engines. The engines were actually tested out by SAE to be 812hp at 6,400 rpm for the Redeye/Superstock/OG Demon engine. Dodge played the old "Pick Your Redline" game for their advertised ratings. The narrow-body 797hp was rated 100 rpm below (6,300 rpm) the 807hp wide-body Redeye/Superstock's rating at 6,400 rpm.

We had ours out this morning for a carsNcoffee event down south. Put a leisurely 100 miles on the old girl. Got 2,390 on her now!

I just had to buy the Mopar extended warranty for her since the original warranty expired in April. I used these guys: https://www.buymoparwarranty.com/ They sell the Mopar MaxCare at $25 above cost. Ended up getting the 8-year, 60K mile, $100 deductible plan. Cost around $3,700 but well worth it since any of the electronics or dash screens cost more than the warranty price, right off the bat. Not to even get started on any drivetrain parts.
