- This was a lot easier than it seemed like it was going to be. I am removing the front bumper to install a hellcat airbox conversion on my 2018 scatpack. I am hoping this mod will net me cooler intake air temperatures.

Great advise from Cal Naughton Jr. himself. You earned a sub sir

Great video! I’ve been looking into starting my own Mopar modification garage and this was a great start to learning. 💯
Thanks for the excellent video, just used it to R&R my front bumper for the HC airbox tube/shield and 19' grille.
Thank you so much I was able to swap my upper and lower grill from my 2018 scat pack to 2019 with your bumper removal video.

Well that was easier than I expected. Thank you for this video. This is by far the best video I’ve seen for a bumper removal. I’ve been wanting to install a splitter on mine so this helps a lot. Thanks again!!
Thanks! I Tried to make it as inform-able as possible.

3Silver4Beast5 I don’t have a accent. You do. Lol.

Thank you so much for this video! 2nd time needing this video!!
Darnell Nelson Glad it could help you out man! Why I made it.

Bumper removal for dummies right here. Excellent video bro
Thanks man, tried to make it that way and explain as much as possible.
very insightful you helped me put this bumper on my dodge magnum!!
Glad the video could help you Gavin!
Awesome video! About to install H/C airbox on my 19 scat pack
Thanks man! Not a bad install and you should be happy with the results.
Very thorough. Thank you!
Really appreciate videos like these! Never been much of a car guy but after hitting a deer this saved me so much money by allowing me to do it myself at home. Thanks!
Thats exactly why i make videos like this. Glad it helped you out!
Same thing just happened to me man 🙁
This was awesome, Thank you Sir for making it!
Dyceish001 Glad it could help!

NfamousMarine thanks man!

socotechg yes sir! Thanks for the support!

Thanks!
Great video! Very detailed and informative.
micheal opara thanks brotha, that’s how I try to make them!
Nice work. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Right on you are appreciated bro
I like your video and it looks easy just to take the bumper off
Thank you very much for the video, I have followed your steps and straight forward I removed the front bumper and installed a new grill on my Charger. Guys whoever is planing on doing this it is so easy? I have never done it before and I was scared to do it during the whole process of removing stuff, but nothing to be scared off, just please make sure you got a car jack, two jack stands, trim removal tool. You definitely want to remove the wheels, even then that undercarriage plastic is pain in then ass. I just want to add one thing about this tutorial, undercarriage below the engine you do want to take all of the trim nails but you do not need to remove 4 screws he pointed, just remove first 2, because the other two are holding the plastic that is not connected to the bumper at. You will give yourself just extra two steps taking that plastic off and putting it back in for no reason. Other than that, great video and thank you again
no problem man! Glad the video helped you out. Share this video and any other you like with whoever you feel like it will help.
Project 392 absolutely will do, your whole RUclips channel is so helpful.
How do I remove the side marker cable? Please help?
Lu’s Clues If I remember correctly they look and operate just like the clips for the plugs on the fog lights.
Lu’s Clues I haven’t had any issues with side marker light cables I would just pull it down and without any force it would come off. Unlike fog lights you have to pull the red plastic back before pulling the cable m.
You killed it 🔥
Thanks!!
Muchas Gracias, me ayudo mucho tu video. Buen Trabajo.
You did an amazing job being thorough with the step-by-step to remove the bumper. Thank you. Now I won't break a customer's clips lol
Thank you
Thanks for posting this. Save me $300 having a shop do it. You have a new subscriber!!
Nice! Thanks for the support!
Good stuff brother
Thank u for this video saved me time !!
Glad I could help.
Great video
Good video I couldn’t find that last bolt under the fender
hell yeah man! nice job!
ChargeD90 Thank you sir
Awesome job
Good content ❤
I subbed just for the information thanks I will be doing the same to my 19 scat with your help.
Thanks man, Glad I could help. Turn on notifications so you wont miss uploads on the Hellcat.
Great Vid💯
Bolts inside hood at both corner edges may be easier to manipulate by using a star bit rather than a socket with extensions
Awesome video
DominicanLu thanks!
Thank you so much for the video! It helped me get a better idea of what im going to do. How long would you say it took you to do everything?
Richard Munoz I would say if I wasn’t trying to record a video while doing it I think I could have it done in two or three hours from jacking it up to letter her back down.
Works on R/Ts
Que buen video gracias 🙂
I’m actually working on a hellcat look for my Dodge Avenger. I’m building a concept car at the moment. I’m calling it the Dodge Grimlin
It’s a 2010 Dodge Avenger:
- Adding the 2016 Dodge Charger headlights.
- A hell cat style bumper that is going to be shaped and molded to fit the avenger
- adding a 423 hp v6 engine.
- re arranging the battery location
- updating the computer
- adding back up camera
- a 3-d printed mold of the charger side aesthetic
- fwd to rwd conversion
Blog it bro!
Does anyone know if all everything is the same throughout the trims mounting wise? I have a basic SE that the middle of the fascia is sagging down and need it replaced. I figured if I’m replacing it, if I can, I’d put a Sportier looking bumper on it. Try to make it similar to a GT. I also need to do the same to my damaged Rear bumper fascia.
Very helpful
Glad it could help ya!
Why when i buy the horn from store it only has 1 electrical socket, but that one on the car now has 2 electrical sockets
Awesommmmmmmmmmme
What happened if my bumper doesn’t have pins
Great video, does anybody by chance have the part number or know what the first piece that was removed is called? The black plastic piece with "Charger" on it? The previous owner of my car lost it and I'd like to replace it.
How did you jack the car and place the stands?
Does anyone know why my lights don’t turn off at all, took it to the dealer and they quoted me $7300 to replace aftermarket headlight to stock due to water damage to wiring
Feel unlucky, every video I watched said the bolts underneath wasn't tight. Mine must've been assembled by Hercules. I was able to use an ally key as a handle n it worked great.
That sucks man! Must have been a Friday. Lol
This was the best fucking video I’ve ever seen
Thank you sir. That’s what I shoot for!
Where did you learn to do this? Ive been looking into buying a salvage/wrecked Dodge Charger and i was going to repair it. Is there some comprehensive guide out there on how to Change/Remove/Replace certain parts such as the bumper/door/frame/hood etc
Michael TheSeller personally i mostly just learn from doing. I have a good working Knowledge of automobiles
My driver side light has bad condensation
❤
I was gonna ask if u have the adaptive cruise control sensor in the front, but I noticed u don't. Looks easy tho
Just be another sensor to unplug.
So that front beam bumper support doesn’t have any bolts in the bumper at all then? That giant steel beam in the very front?
No. Just a crash bar/bumper support.
Whoa
Awesome vid. Would this upgrade work for a 2016 Scat pack?
Thanks. I answered you in the other video that you commented on.
So I heard if I get the momentum gt cold air intake it has the cut out for the front scoop, do I still need the hellcat bottom?
I have no idea. I’m not familiar with that intake.
do you have those inserts for the frame rail to jack it / put it on stands? i need to replace the filler panel on my 18' charger hellcat front bumper cover
TheWolf no, I do not.
Have you found a cheaper alternative to the Brembo rotors? The cost of replacing those is the one thing that scares me away from a Dynamics package Scat Pack or Daytona 392.
GA08GT no. These rotors seem good tho. I plan on painting the hat black with the G2 kit and either gold or red on the calipers.
Replacement rings I have seen for around $900 for 2 fronts. That's as good of a price as I have found. Don't plan on putting anything smaller than a 20" up front, and still have to be careful buying rims/fitment. Are they worth it though? yes
What color is your car?
Granite crystal
OMG Hawks I was surprised to find you in the comment section of this vid
Where did you use your floor jack to place your jack stands on the what seems to be pinch weld? Your help would be greatly appreciated
Charity 392 just placed it almost right under the front door handles. I would recommend going to ZL1 add-ons website and at the very least getting a jacking pad to save your pinch welds. I tore mine all up from jacking the car up and down on them.
@@KnightsGarage so I have those on the car. But isn't that where the jack stands will go? Do you think I can place the jack directly behind the pinch welds leaving enough space for the stands? Did you place the jack further under the car or on same line as where the welds are?
Hope you changed that all scratched up splitter while you had it apart
You can’t just change that it’s part of the bumper and can’t be seen unless you’re under the car.
@@KnightsGarage yeah I just changed mine at dodge by itself and mine is a show car and I hated looking at all those scrapes😁
@@pistolgrip70x A challenger is different than a charger. You can’t just change the splitter that’s part of the front bumper without changing the entire front bumper on the charger.
what jack and jack stands did you use?
Shoot I don’t even remember. I bought them years ago at an autozone I believe. I would have to look at them to see how many tons They are.
Use a screwdriver on the tabs. Much easier
How easy would it be to replace the grille? Mine cracked yesterday 😢
Wouldn’t be bad. Follow this process and you can easily access all the plastics where they clip into the back of the bumper.
11:03 can someone tell me what are those 2 wheel things above the radiator after he took off the bumper it’s at the 11:00-11:05 mark
Are you talking about the horns? Car has two horns.
How much time would you say it would take you to remove it if you wasn’t recording?
Chris Curry not that long. 30 to 45 min.
How many hours did you need to get this done? Nice job by the way!!
Xander Cage bout 2 1/2. But I also had to go to the part store in the middle of the job
Did you break something? Besides pull pins,screws and head pins...did you find plastic rivets? What would be your advise,I am swapping grills.Factory coming out,new grill with bezels going in.Thanks

Xander Cage I forgot to get the plastic pins are used so I had to go to the part store and buy some mid job.
Where can I get them? Dodge dealership? Just in case I need them.You think I will need them? Thanks
I did not take the tires off when I did mine
you can do it, but it is easier to get to all the bolts to remove the bumper with the wheels off.
Hope it’s not to late but what did u use to remove those 2 bolts on each side I can’t seem to fit a ratchet in there
Which ones are you referring to?
Knight's Garage to the one by the fender the 2 black ones inside
I used a wrench on the top black bolt by the headlight and a small ratchet on the one bottom that You have to get to run the inner fender well
What kind of catch can is that and how did u install
Mike F it’s a UPR. I have several videos on UPR cans, and one on installing this one on this car. Look in my playlist for this 2018 scatpack.
Has anyone tried this that has the Adaptive Driving sensor on the front? Does that need to be disconnected as well?
You would need to unplug that to remove the bumper from the car.
@@KnightsGarage thanks for that info. Also, Great Video
I bought a 2015 Charger RT and it didn't have the front bumper splash guard. I see your video and it helped me take off my bumper, I am wondering if that splash guard is ONE PIECE or if it is two pieces. It would be great if you can get back to me. Thanks
What are you calling the splashguard? Are you talking about the plastic underpinning that connects from the front bumper and cover the old pan and everything?
@@KnightsGarage Yes, that is the one. I bought one on ebay and it was for a 2014 and it did not work. Since I do not know what it looks like, I cannot find the right one.
@@KnightsGarage I've seen your video many times to look at the (underbelly as you call it in the video) and I noticed that there was an underbelly piece left behind on the floor and there is another bumper splash guard left on the bumper. Are there two different pieces for the car?
Ramiro Govea you would have to get one for a 2015 and up. The body changed in 2015. I don’t know about the R/T but I’m fairly sure the scats are three separate parts if you need the entire thing. I would go to the dealer with the VIN and ask then for a price on them, the ask the to print it out. Then you will have your part numbers to look for elsewhere.
@@KnightsGarage Thanks for the reply. After seeing your video one more time, I realized there are two pieces (bumper one and the belly), I am looking for them now but I will take your advice about going to the dealer. Thank you!
Socks are the way to go in your own garage :)
businessnik hell yeah they are. Lol
Where did you order the air box at?
hjaime72 I ordered it from eBay. Seller dougsmithparts. Like 140 bucks.
hjaime72 let me get a link in the description.
Nice video but I have no clue how to get to those bolts . impossible. Wish it was more detailed.
What bolts? I feel like my videos are fairly detailed. Did you watch the whole thing without skipping any parts?
@@KnightsGarage
The two bolts that are way deep further under the fender that attach the front cover. Three on each side. two of them were easy. one was very unfriendly on each I tried so hard to get them out. I finally was able to use a torx 25 on the driver side bolt and a 10 mm 1/4 drive socket on the passenger side. And all this while tearing up my arms and hands. You just did not show how to get them out, you only showed where they were. Which was helpful, but for an ammetuer like me...Dammnn. Your video helped me out. I am not upset, just wish there was more detail on how to get the tough ones out. I was able to replace both lights. Thanks..
@@danomano1423 with the wheels off and the inner fender pulled out. I just used a quarter inch drive ratchet with a 10 mm socket along with a 10 mm wrench. I want to say I broke it loose with a wrench and then took it on out with the ratchet. But this video is a few years old so I can not remember totally.
@@danomano1423 but I may have used a swivel and small extension and just hold it in place with my cordless 3/8 impact. I’ve worked on so many vehicles I’m not sure to be honest. Sorry about that.
Will that tube work on the afe gt momentum intake?
datboibg21 I really don’t know.
@@KnightsGarage Did jack up the car on each side? Or just 1 way from the front end to put them on the stands?
datboibg21 I did each side. I need to get some jacking pads from zl1 addons. After jacking it up several times I have bent my jacking rails a bit.
too late now, but if you take an extra 10-15 min total (for both sides not each)and remove the fender liners...than it's gravy to reach hardware and connectors...either way, you crushed it
Joe Durso with the tire out of the way I didn’t see a need to remove the entire liner. Everything was easy to get to. But I do see what you are saying.
@@KnightsGarage just finished mine...it's sicker than I thought when I can study it instead of just seeing them pass by on the road...deleted my daytona badge on grill too...
@@KnightsGarage oh and...i had to reorder my Big Mikes Performance Parts sto n sho front plate mount for a '19...it's ever so slightly different than my '17 but they already offer them...
I went to dodge to have this done. To replace park & signal light an they said it would cost $1400!!!!!
Wow. That’s crazy. Why I made this video. Do it yourself and save the money.
"This is the cover.... I need the bumper removal vieo. I pulled 8 bolts off and it won't come off. Used a dead blow and a pry bar.
Slow down dude lol
R/ts come with a kn open intake...n a 392 doesn't...wow..cheap as fuck
Only R/T's that have the mopar aftermarket intake, the T/A or the daytona have an open air filter from the factory. Not all R/T's come with it.
