bro where did you order from?
went straight through the dealership for parts. (except the hood of cours) both front fascia and rear along with sides came from the dealership.
RonBurgunD_SRT how much?!
@@terrantino for the body it was roughly $1,300-1,500. For the hood it was $1,200
I got a hood and bumper OEM Scatpack for 570$
@@meawesomemax3947 nice!!!
That Wrap Color is Going to be 🔥🔥🔥
Great work man. I’ve taking off the front before. It isn’t too bad. Can’t wait to see it wrapped.
thanks! I'm pretty excited about this change! and this phase of my car project isn't even done yet! I still have the hood coming in at a later date and i will be getting ceramic coated for extra protection
How much does all this cost lol im thinking of buying one and doing this
So if you take the cores back (front and back) it puts the total around $1,500 give or take a few hundred
In 2019 they added the GT trim which is basically the SXT with this grille so it ain’t even that far fetched
The only thing for me was I couldn't get that with the AWD i had in mine.
Great video ! Super informative. Planning on switching my Sxt stick grill to and r/t one.
It's a lot easier than it really looks. You just need to know where all the push pins and the bolts are on each side.
I don’t have an srt I’m not that fancy 🤣 good video man. I’m about to change mine out on my RT tomorrow
Thanks! And good luck! I was able to get everything out together in about 4-6 hours because of where I was parked in my apartment complex.
Can i do this on a 2013 r/t?
You could if you got the same body style bumper. It would have to be within your 11-14 year model. But to convert your 13 over to a 15+ look would need some fabrication work.
Good shit man! I'm getting ready to build a 2021 Charger for police service so this at least outlines how to remove the bumper if things didn't change drastically..very detailed stuff, thank you sir 🤙🤙
You're very welcome! Thanks for the feedback!
So just to be clear on that. I can swap my SXT front bumber for a SRT bumber and it would fit right? No cutting or molding necessary?
Correct, there are some parts that you would have to swap over from the old bumper to the new one you would be putting on, but as long as you have a decent socket set, a drill, and maybe a few zip ties, you will be able to switch them over no problem.
Nice job bro.....gona look good once everything is done....I need to do that to my R/T I just got a Scatpack hood gota get it painted and put on soon....kool vid 👍🏼
Thank you! Miss this car sometimes.
@@forstd09able I can imagine 👍🏼
Very informative video, thanks for posting. Got a complete parts list that's needed for the swap?
unfortunately I dont have the parts list. (sorry for getting back to you so late)
Update to the 2019 grill. It has the snorkels and no SRT molding. I just ordered it for my Charger. I’m getting ready to swap my front end to a Hellcat this weekend
that's why I got mine! i didn't want the molding for the badge.
ChargeD90 when you swapped were you able to use the I believe it’s the impact absorber from the middle of the old bumper?
@@fly2deaff yes sir, I just transferred it from the old to the new.
Cool thank you for all the info brotha
Can you post the link from where you bought it @fly2deaff
Bro ! I know that topic is pretty old. Could u explain what u do with plastic air canal for brakes which is ale attachment for bumper ? I have conversation on 2021 match to 2016. And there is no possibilty to use lower sets. I suppose that U didn't use these air canals in your mod ?
i have 2018 sxt model. and i wanted to swap my front bumper like you did. but i need help to find that bumper. could you please provide me information from where i can buy that bumper.
I purchased all of the body parts (front back and sides) straight from the dealership. for the front and rear bumper you will get a core charge back if you give them your old bumpers.
Garry Singh never heard of fucking google?!
I have an SXT an swapped my bumper to SRT but the grille didnt fit from the SRT bumper
put all the part numbers down so everybody knows what the parts are and numbers to make this transformation done easier!
I'll work on putting this list together.
RonBurgunD_SRT have you got list together, just found this page
I wasn't able to get a list together, I apologize, but if you go into a dealership, the parts department should be able to walk you through the parts you will need. The main thing is the front and rear fascias, the upper and lower grille, the fog light bezels (depending on if you have fogs you may need to convert those as well) if not they have just the plain bezels like the hellcats without the fog lights. Then on the back there will be a piece that secures the bottom of the bumper to the car, and the bezels for the side vents as well as the rear valance for the SRT style. If you have any other questions please feel free to go to my IG and message me on there. That is: ronburgund_srt
Thinking about doing this to match my Scat Hood. 2 questions, I know apparently the inner fenders don't 100% lineup but do they line up enough that you don't have to drill new holes for push pins? Also the the top cover plastic piece that connects to the top of the bumper, were you able to pop that off and connect it to the srt bumper?
There is only one or two that wont line up completely, I used a few (black) zip ties to hold things together and it didn't look half bad. I looked into it and it was going to cost an extra $1,000 just to swap the wheel wells to the ones that fit the srt style
So you just bought an SRT Hellcat front bumper and it was a exact fit on your car? I have 2019 SXT so do you think if I just bought the parts I can just take it off my standard bumper and just put the new 2019 bumper just fine with exact fit?
everything bolted up yes. the wheel wells are slightly different however, but that doesnt really effect the overall fitment in any way. the only thing you will notice is that the form of the bumper and the stock hood on the sxt wont line up 100% towards the front lip on the hood. Underneath however all of the brackets are swappable, the only thing you will need are the upper and lower grills and the fog light bezels depending on if you want fog lights or not.
ChargeD90 thanks man I was planning on doing the the hood with front bumper all at the same time but also wasn’t sure exactly where to get the exact parts I need or possibly going to shop and having them do it or doing it myself with some help of course. Bc I figured going somewhere it would cost a lot more. Thank you for responding btw
@@Bronco97 You're welcome! I try to respond to all the questions, but sometimes I dont get the notification so my responses are delayed.
Do you remember the part number for the rocket moldings?
not off the top of my head, sorry
Like me gustaría saber como instalar luces antiniebla al bumpers nuevo didrecto al Switch del 2018 sxt
I don't speak Spanish, but thank you for the like!
So I have a 2017 SXT am I able to swap the front bumper out for a SRT front bumper?
Absolutely. Anything 15+ should be good. The only issues you will have is the wheel wells lining up, but I zip tied most of them and only has one that didn't line up completely.
Great video. I'm in thr process now. What did u do with the two air vents that u have to unscrew from behind the wheel well to get the bumper off. Any issues with not reusing?
It's been so long man, I honestly don't remember. The only issue I had was the stock wheel well covers not completely lining up with the new fascias, and so I used zip ties on a few of the pop screw holes. Hope this helps.
Video title is swapping bumpers, but that's not the bumpers at all. It's the front fascia. On my charger. I took my own 14.8 pound. Steel bumper off and made my own 4 lb aluminum one.
Not everyone knows that they are called that, so I titled it this way so it would be easier to find if someone searched it, but thank you for your feedback. What year is your charger if you don't mind me asking?
2018 charger Scat Pack. Steel bumper was 14.8 lb. Speedlogix said it would be 22 lb. But when you look at their website, they're using an old beat-up analog scale. I used my digital one and even weighed myself with the bumper and it still came out to 14.8.
What type of bumper brackets you use to install ur bumper
I took off the old brackets that came off of the existing fascia.
Hey man great video I know I’m pretty late, but I’m doing the same thing to my Dodge Charger and I wanted to know did you have to buy new brackets to hold your bumper up are did you use to old brackets off your old bumper to insert onto the new bumper. Just wanted to know if I can use my olds ones before I purchase new ones.
you should be able to use the old ones for the front, you will have to drill out the rivets and if you want to do it right rivet them onto the new bumper or cut corners like I did and just use zip ties with full intentions of coming back later with rivets, but letting it slip your mind all the time lol. Once the bolts are snuged up to the bracket that holds the bumper on it holds itself up. so you really just need the zip ties or something to hold it in place while you line up the bumper for install.
Awesome thank you for the help, love watching your videos there very helpful for the people that’s doing the same thing you did to your charger.
@@brianlacey4643 I appreciate it! I've had a little bit of a dry spell due to my financial situation, but I'm trying to put some other things together and get some more videos up. Love being helpful any way I can.
Could I do this with a 2013 or 2014 charger
You could and it would be about the same difficulty, maybe a little easier. The only difference is you would have to get the bumper for the 11-14 year model. They changed a bit on the 15s as far as bolt/pin locations that attach the fascia. But overall it would be the same concept. Might even be cheaper to tell you the truth.
Very nice upgrade. Definitely improves the look.
Thank you! Some days I really do miss this car.
Did everything fit well ? Mine isn’t lighting up
I got everything from the dealer so it was all oem parts. From the new style if you still have the old hood it will look a little goofy because of the molding of the front fascia vs the hood. But other than that, everything lined up for me.
Yoooooo so all you really did was take the sxt bumper off and put on the new grill and it fit perfectly?????❤️❤️
So it didn't fit perfectly, but the only thing that didn't line up were two of the push pin holes on each wheel well. But I made it work, because replacing the wheel well covers was going to cost just as much as the bumpers themselves. The bumper doesn't fit the old style grille so had to replace that with the updated style as well. Hope this helps.

@@forstd09able if I buy the srt bumper and take my sxt to a auto shop do you think they would be able to install it?
Honestly if you are good with a screw driver, a socket set, a drill, and a few zip ties. All you need is possibly another set of hands and you can do it yourself. I did it in an apartment parking lot in a few hours. Just make sure to remember to disconnect the back up sensors if you have them, and the side marker lights as well. But if you do want to take it to a shop they can do that as well.
Did the grill pieces snap right on the bumper?
Yes they did. Just make sure you get the correct inserts and not the sxt or r/t style that comes on lower trims.
Anyone taking off parts hit me up. I am trying to swap the front from my 11 to he newer year
if you are trying to swap out the 2011-14 to the newer style chargers you will need to do fender work. They are slightly different and have different bold/pin patterns.
Yessirrrr brother great video
i have a 2015 dodge charger rallye will the front bumper fit ? & will the fog lights still work ?
You will have to swap the fogs for the new style on the bumper itself, but that should be plug & play and you should be able to get parts from the dealership. The only reason i say this is because going aftermarket you run the risk of things not working right. But that's your preference.
so i’ll have to by the circle fog lights & remove the bar i have ?
@@therealquep yeah, otherwise it won't fit in the bezel like it should. The fitment is completely different.
for the rear bumper, what is used to keep it from wiggling (at the area directly behind the rear tires)? screws or clips.
I used zip ties to hold mine down in the wheel wells. But there is a plate that goes underneath that holds together with 4 or 6 pins.
Did you have to switch out the headlights?
Nope, the headlights are universal as long as its anything 2015 or newer (same body style)
Is this the duraflex body kit and also did you have to swap out head lights?
this is the OEM bumpers and rockers. I purchased straight from the dealership, the only thing about the body that is aftermarket is the spoiler/wicker bill and the hood. The headlights I swapped out the original halogens for LED by Diode Dynamics
do you have a parts list and part numbers for easy reference
unfortunately I don't, I purchased everything through a friend at the dealership, and didnt pay too much attention to the part numbers for what I used.
did you have to change splash guards in wheel well
@@larrynance1269 so I could have, but didn't. they turned out to be ungodly expensive for front and back. I was looking at almost $1k just for the wheel well pieces. So in the end I just decided to zip tie the new bumpers to old wheel wells to keep everything secured. keep in mind a lot of the holes lined up except for the last one on the bottom. is it secured? yes, is it done right? not really. However it works.
With the fog light covers was a fog bracket needed also?
@@TTG_Gusto the brackets on the inside aren't needed, but if you want to install it "right" then you could. But I haven't had any issues and it's been on almost a year now
Can you ask the dealership service team to swap the bumpers I wanna do this but I’m scared that I’ll mess up cause it’s my first time
If you know someone at the dealership in the service department, maybe? I'm really not sure if that's a service they provide.
What tool did you use to get the two hex screws that were inside the bumper, did you use a torque wrench?
If your talking about the bolts on the inside of the front in the wheel wells, I used a 10mm socket. It was a pain, but taking the wheel off helped out a lot.
How much you think just to paint the front bumper would cost?
Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I had my whole car wrapped and that was $3k. To paint match the front ans back I could see costing somewhere between $800-$1,500 depending on quality of paint and work done.
Where did u get that bumper?
from a local dealership.
What car and what yeardid you get it off at the dealership. skatpack/daytona or hellcat
It came off of a 2015 hellcat charger
Parts, not an actual car.
RonBurgunD_SRT ok cool thank you so any year 15+ should work w the swap
RonBurgunD_SRT also do you need to change the hood when doing this
You dont have to change the hood. You can switch the front fascia, the only thing is it won't line up 100% but wont effect anything.
What is the name of molding or trim that sits right under headlights that goes from passenger side to driver side. I swapped bumpers and need this trim and need the name of it. Again it sits directly under headlights on the bumper and goes from one side to the other. Thanks
I know the piece you are talking about, but am unsure of the technical name. You could probably go to a dealership parts department and have them look up the part number for you though.
RonBurgunD_SRT did your bumper come with that piece?
@@jasonwilliams5494 mine did, but it was all separate pieces.
Hey man I just ordered a new rear bumper, are the sensors on the back attached to the bumper or the car itself?
The sensors will pop out of the old and clip back into the new as long as you ordered the one that comes with the sensor cut outs.
@@forstd09able I’ve got one without the holes, couple you just drill holes to where they would fit or do they need a special hole or something to clip in
@@kylerooffener7019 they have a special molding that allows the sensors to clip in. I would see if you could exchange the one you ordered with one that comes with the sensor holes.
where did you purchase your body kit from what website and is this brand duraflex
I got this straight from the dealership, except the hood.
so is the srt bumper a bumper with a scoop?
Not the year model I purchased. I believe the 2020 and newer had the scoop under the grille.
Do you have to swap out the fog lights?
If you have the style that goes on the other style and want to retain the fog light feature, than yes. Due to the molding of the fascia, the SRT style bumper is a round fog light vs the mini bar style that the r/t & v6 models have.
How hard were the sideskirts to install?.
they were actually super easy, as long as you dont plan on reusing the old ones just pop them off, you will snap a few of the tabs off, but dont worry. Toss the old ones and the new ones will have plastic anchors/pins that will just pop up, then up front and in the back wheel wells there should be two to three push pins that hold it in from there along with the ones that snap in from the bottom.
Okay, yeah because the bottom clips underneath the rocker molding confused me
What kind of those clips are they?. I got the sides to clip in and the side tabs as well
I just dont know how to clips the ones underneath
@@3silver4beast59 the ones underneath are molded in with the side skirt if I remember right. So you just pop it up into place and it should stay, the push pins in the wheel wells are just for extra precaution.
Where did you buy the front bumper from please help !
I bought them straight from the dealership.
would that bumper work with a 2014 one.?
Unfortunately not without major cutting and modification. You could look into doing a 14 srt bumper if you wanted to go that route though.
Everything you did was cool but you need a new camera
Filmed with my phone at the time. Wasn't going for quality, just wanted to document the install because I had trouble finding videos like it myself.
Do you have to swap hoods too if you have sxt one??
It isn't necessary, but there will be a small gap, nothing too outrageous, but if you are a little OCD it might drive you a little crazy. I have a few pictures on my IG of when I first swapped the bumpers if you want to check it out @ronburgund_srt
hey i’m thinking of getting a charger and if i end up getting a 2017/18 is the srt bumper pretty much plug and play and i can buy just the bumper itself and install it on without needing to buy additional parts?
There are a few small pieces that you will need. Like the bezels and on the back there is a piece that attaches underneath that keeps the rear fascia secured, but for the most part you can take the pieces that help attach them to the car off of the old and swap them over to the new.
RonBurgunD_SRT okayperfect, that’s exactly what i needed to know! thank you, i appreciate you replying!
Absolutely! Sometimes my notifications don't always go off, but I try to reply as soon as I see the comments. Let me know if you have any other questions. You can also reach out on Instagram @ronburgund_srt and private message me if anything else comes to mind.
Hey man I’m reading through your comments, and I wanted to ask. So the you asked the dealership and they ordered the parts for you?
Yeah I had a friend who worked in the service department so it made things a little easier, but you should still be able to order the parts through the dealership. Unfortunately I no longer have the parts list available to me, otherwise I would give you the direct part numbers I used for the swap.
@@forstd09able thanks bro.👍🏻
@@DavidGarcia-wp7yh absolutely! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Apart from the part numbers, I had the process just about memorized haha.
I have a base model 2015 rt will the front bumper for directly on the car without any additional parts ??
it should, there are some foam inserts that the Scats/Daytonas/hellcats have, but it is not a part that is 100% needed. same thing with the wheel wells and vent from the fog lights that directs air back to the breaks. I just left it completely open.
Great video
Thanks, it was some work, but worth it
ChargeD90 i wanna do that to my R/T but i herd the parts dont match up rite that i have to mod an shaved some parts ?
@@TxBALLA281 I got the front, rear and sides straight from mopar/dealership and everything fit perfectly. The only thing that doesnt line up is the bottom hole in the wheel wells because it's a different design, but I just zip tied them down to secure them. Doesn't really effect much.
Ok thank you ima try it
Do you still have that Se bumper
I do not, I gave it back to the dealership for the core charge. You get $100 for the front and $100 for the back if you take them in.
How much were the the side skirts?
I don't really remember, I purchased everything together.
Did you lose your led lights ?
If you are talking about the fogs i didn't have any before this swap. If you do have them I believe you would have to convert them to the correct style.
are you selling the original bumper?
I would if I still had it. That bumper has been gone for almost 2 years now 😂👍
I have a 2013 SE charger, do you have a list of parts I could buy so I could do the same to my car?
I don't have the parts list unfortunately, but even if I did the one for mine wouldn't work because it was a 15+ year model. They would be different parts all together.
@@forstd09able understood, but could I mod mine still?
Oh absolutely! It should work as long as you get the 11-14 srt style body parts
@@forstd09able thanks
@@chop7045 you're welcome 😊
Where to get bumper ?
I bought mine through the dealership.
is it a Rt or a sxt
Is was an SE at the time.
how do I order from the dealership?
They have a service counter inside that you can order parts from
What all you need to do this ?
You need a basic socket tool set. (Nothing too big) there will be 8 or so 7mm screws on the bottom, and (6) 8mm or 10mm bolts (3 on each side) holding the bumper on inside the wheel well. You will need either a flathead or a panel popper tool to undo the push pins on top of the bumper (inside the engine bay, as well as the ones that hold the wheel well liner up. I would strongly suggest taking the front wheels off, because it makes it easier to access the bolts you will need to remove. Don't forget to unplug the side markers that are attached to the bumpers before you attempt to remove them entirely. I would also come prepared with a bag of small zip ties as well.
@@forstd09able how much the bumper and stuff cost
@@quataylor5620 well total (before I got my core charges back) it was roughly around $1,800.00ish. Returning the front and back bumper to the dealer I got $100 each ($200 total) and when all was said and done I returned a lot of the miscellaneous brackets and things I didn't need and got an extra $300-400 back as well so with the bumpers, all the bezels, the piece that goes under the rear to secure it, and the rockers it was probably more like $1,200
Dang someone get this man some water, seems to be very tired out in the sun.
Hahaha yeah this Fatman here has a hard time 😅
Literally no where in this video did you show what it looks like
Yeah sorry lol if you check out my Instagram I still have pictures of the old gal on there. Ronburgund_srt
Will that bumper fit on a 2019 sxt charger ??
It should, 2015 up to now uses the same bolt/pins and has the same body style. Only difference would be the wide body chargers.
RonBurgunD_SRT the rear bumper as well right ?
@@jobanyvillalba1934 yes, the only fitment issues with swapping the front and back will be the wheel wells. There is only one or two push pin holes that won't line up. I used zip ties, otherwise to replace the wells is another $1k just for the front and back to fit 100% I had it zip tied for over a year and never had any issues.
RonBurgunD_SRT was yours an sxt Charger too ?
@@jobanyvillalba1934 I was in the middle of turning it into an sxt lol, mine was an SE AWD
I have 2013 charger pursuit model, can this package fit in it by any chance
Unfortunately it will not fit on your model without some heavy fabrication work. The 2011-14 models were different compared to the 2015-current ones. You could look into doing the SRT-8 bumper for your 2013 if you wanted to though.
Just buy the hellcat style front grill that has functionality and no badges
How much was the front bumper?
Just by itself the front bumper alone was only like $400-$500, but then I had to get the upper and lower grille, and the bezels where the fogs would normally go. So it ended up being around $700 or so for the front. But since I went through the dealer I got $100 back for the core charge when I gave them my old front bumper back.
RonBurgunD_SRT oh thank you for that info‼️💯
You're welcome
@@forstd09able I have an old front bumper just laying around. Am I able to call up my local dealership and offer them the bumper for a price? Or was this only because you have a friend who works there?
That I'm not sure of. I think it had to do with having bought the new one that came with the core charge that I got back by giving them the old one, but not sure if you can get money by bringing in an old one without any purchase. It would be worth a shot, I would just call up a local dealership and ask. Worst case they say now & you go try to sell it on Facebook marketplace or something.

@@daytonatrades7525 Good deal! the 8 speed is absolutely amazing! I would try to shoot for a super track pack if you can find one.
