2024 is going to look a little different. Excited to have this beast back & trying to get back in the swing of making content for it. Thanks everyone for the support.
A little old, a little new❤ nice❤
Rt for widebody and hood what is better ikon or vicrez
@@danscollon1537 I've had really good luck so far (knock on wood) with Vicrez products.
What suspention are you useing so it dont rub?
I went with adjustable coilovers. You can adjust the ride height & stiffness so you can drive without any issues.
Well this was a nice surprise to see this pop up on the feed. 👍🏻
Thanks man. Def appreciate the support
Good to see it back on the road. I plan to replicate the last call SuperBee for my next wrap so I’ll have to get a new hood and wheels.
I don't blame you. Those Superbees are sharp looking.
Nice
Thanks man
That blue beast looks meaner with that hood brother 👌
Thanks man! I love it, the fitment/style is great.
Congrats hood looks much better imo 🔥
Has a overall cleaner look. Going to wrap it gloss black & it should be good to go!
Damn looks good!
Thank you - I love the look. Has a cleaner overall style now
Love the less aggressive OEM style. Gives her a cleaner appearance.
OEM style does look cleaner, more subtle. The hood scoop & hump is much wider on this hood - I like that.
Nice ❤
Thanks man. Really happy with the fitment & results
What a beast. That thing is bad ass .will it be out there like the blackout charger? lol.
I don't have the stones to do that haha! This does have the power though for easy getaways
Nice and smooth my friend
Thank you very much. I really like the look.
Man your page motivated me to cam my 5.7 Grand Cherokee on my page…I appreciate that
Looks awesome!
I love it. Going to wrap this thing & start enjoying this RT again
Love the build bro
Thanks man! Def appreciate it.
Like the other hood better more aggressive
That killer bee hood really is aggressive looking! Loved that hood but I'd like to shack things up
Looks soo good 🔥🔥🔥
I love it. Mixing things up a little
LOOKS AWESOME BROTHER 💯👍
Thank you very much. I love the updated look. Very clean!
You and one other CZcamsr is the reason I bought the Killer Bee hood. I was going back and forth with either the Killer Bee or Redeye. I’m in Tampa hope to see you out man.
Oh yeah! That looks WAY cleaner! I liked the old hood, but I love the new one! 😁👍🏼
Same! It was just time for change. This looks so much neater & buttoned up. Was tired of that aftermarket look
That’s much better, that other hood was awful. I would wrap that in carbon fiber. I did mine and it was ridiculously beautiful.
I think this looks a little cleaner & buttoned up. Thanks man
Woah woah woah , I wouldn’t say it was awful
I already knew it would be the redeye hood, it's clean and you just can't beat it.
I love the Redeye hood. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would eventually go on my charger.
@RTLife me to I'm thinking of picking up one from DRA I'll save a few hundred vs buying from vicrez.
Another brick in the wall. Looks great more refined than the large bubble hood. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
fresh start in 2024! I love this hood though, looks very clean & buttoned up. Thank you very much
I don't think the killer bee hood is "awful" per se; it is very aggressive looking. But in my opinion, the new hood fits the sleeker, more "aerodynamic efficient" lines of the body a bit better. It just seems more like it belongs on the car. Just an opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
I agree with you. This overall looks cleaner & more reserved. I like the look a little more
Love that new hood assembly! Looks sharp!
Couldn't be happier! Thank you very much
At first I was kind of sad to see the hood go, but looking at the new one it does look clean it gives it a whole new fresh look 😎👍 good job
Looks a little more refined, buttoned up - in my opinion. I loved the killer bee but it screamed "aftermarket"
R/t its nice too see you are back with your true luv . You put a lot into your Great car .waiting for you too take it tovtrack and open her up
I still haven't even done a full throttle pull. Going to fix a handful of things & then throw the tires on to see how it all feels
@RTLife you did a segment on My the green scat at car show on sunrise I'm in Florida now . I want you too let me know when you hit track
Very nice, subtle is sweet !
Agreed. The other hood was great but it screamed aftermarket so much.
Very Cool I dig that look !
Thank you - was time for a little change!
I watch your channel like a t.v series 😂 but the new hood gives it a nice settle smooth/aggressive look. We’ll have to do a retake on my from the previous time because I’ve done a lot since you last seen it at the track and upgraded a lot with more to come 😈
Nice choice
Looks tight
Keep it up
Thank you very much. It was time to mix things up!
Looking good! I was never crazy about how those vents opened right into the engine bay on the Killer Bee hood.
It wasn't the best hood for bad weather. It collected to much rain water at the bottom of the hood as well - was kind of annoying.
I like it! It is nice to have a handy pair of hands to help. My guy likely has friends in every state by now.
It really is so helpful having someone else. Trying to do a hood or many other installs is tough on your own. Def happy with the overall look, fitment & quality of this.
That looks awesome brother!
Thanks man - couldn't be happier with the setup! Something just need to change for 2024
@@RTLife Great call!
Dude what did I miss this came outta nowhere
I needed a change with the Charger.
Looks good!
Thanks man! I'm really happy with the overall results on this.
I need to see this thing on the strip!
I like the look, subdued but aggressive looking
This is a little more subtle but I really like it. Time for change in 2024!
That hood is tight.
Agreed! I love it. Thanks man - def appreciate it
That hood looks better more stock like you said less bulkier then the other one good choice 👍🏽
I think it cleans up the overall look a bit. Thanks man, def appreciate it
I like it a lot. Actually quite a bit better. Very aggressive.
Has a cleaner overall look (in my opinion). Was time for change! Thanks man
@@RTLife Yeah. I agree.
Hey man love the videos and builds💯💪🏾keep it up I have a question I have the Holley efi intake and fuel lines like you do but I don’t have it installed kinda wanna just install the fuel lines like you have it, but is there any issues with it
Awesome!!
Couldn't be happier with the fitment & overall look. Very pumped!
I like the 1st one but the 2nd is still nice
Man as much money you put into it and patience you had waiting for them to fix it and it still has issues 😢😢 that twin turbo is too much problems but it’s still badass
Are u sellin the old hood? If so i would like to buy wats the price? Always happy when i see rt life drops a new vid keep the content comin bro
I'll probably sell it for $200 if someone wants to pick it up
Few things…. New hood looks great. Love that the blue beast is back. Very upset that you are already having issues after you paid an arm and a leg to have your car “fixed” and tuned properly, and waited “forever”, just to have fuel pump issues…. Not happy with that at all…. Shop issue or is this on you or part failure??
The pumps weren't secured properly - I think it's a install & parts issue. They had to secure it using zip ties - while I was driving a fuel line got knocked loose so there was no fuel pressure. I was very annoyed but at least they came to me & fixed it. Eased the pain.
Surprised you didn't go with a used OEM hood from one of the Mopar websites. Could have saved 6 or 7 hundred. Hood looks nice 😎👌
Is the car a scat or an RT
Charger R/T w/ stroker kit on it. 6.5L 397 - The Red Challenger is a Scat 392
@@RTLife how much horsepower does the car make again?
it's still on 93 octane & 10 lbs of boost - 730whp & 770 in torque range.
It's nice but the other one was killer looking made the car look so much nicer meaner and just stood up now it looks everyone else
I actually like the other hood better, but looks sick regardless !
The killer bee hood is so aggressive looking
I got that hood when it was first released from vicrez and the center bezel never would fit properly so good luck on that. I even purchased new ones from them and still wouldn’t fit.
Nice to see the car again. However, I really like the other hood better. It’s not my car, to each their own.
I understand. The other hood was very aggressive looking. This looks more subtle
6.5 like a Bruckell Bastion 😊
That hoods the exact same color as my car so would love to get it some how i mean if its within my price and you choose to sell
Hello love you channel I’m from the I’m in Levittown Long Island brought my RT charger in June. I would love to meet up when you have car meets thanks
Not far from where I used to live. We used to do Seaford train station meets all the time. I moved to FL though in 2022
@@RTLife thank you for letting me know I appreciate
Make the old hood a wall hanger. Maybe a give away item?
My buddy said he could sell it locally - might take him up on that.
Yo did you ever get the hp90 put in??
Love the hood man! Definitely looks more aggressive! Miss you! 🤝
Thanks man, I'm pumped with this new hood! Hope all is good on your end buddy - that Hellcat is awesome.
Ill wait till you get the hood wrapped to give my opinion. Im kinda anti trend. As in I see a lot of people getting this hood regardless of trim and body style.
I wonder if this will maintain or have a less heatsoak under the hood.
Once I have it wrapped it's going to look really slick! The killer bee hood was super aggressive looking
@@RTLife i felt like the killer bee matched the aggressiveness of the widebody. Im sure when you wrap it will put me in my place lol.
Like I said over the years a bunch of people are trying to keep up with the newest stock look and it doesnt really push the aftermarket game of the mopar scene. Im sure you will make it more of a 1 of 1 tho. And thats what twists my neck lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
New hood looks great!!! Wasn't a fan of the other hood...
I love this one as well. It's just time for some change! Thanks man
💯💯💯💪💪💪👌
How much for the killer bee hood
😂 sometimes we get bored and change things we dont need to. I considered getting the killer bee hood, but im just going to leave the car alone.
Yah you just want to mix things up a little. Sometimes it's just a waste of $$$. I just wanted change & love the style of the redeye hood
Looks good but i think i liked the Bee hood better. Do you have the hood still? I might want it. I still have my B5 blue Daytona Hellcat. For some reason you don’t pop up on my page very often. It’s still weird seeing you in Florida. Plus i thought you’d get home sick-it’s a culture shock here. It’s not very family oriented here and you don’t have the generational neighborhoods like back home in NY. I’ve been 20yrs and miss the food but not the weather especially when it comes to cars. I have to go thru and binge watch your videos. I don’t see your wife in the videos I’ve seen or another vehicle. I hope everything is ok-I’m only mentioning her because she was cool. The demon video with her was cool. Hopefully nothing went bad or worse. Kind wish you would’ve moved farther south in Florida but there must be a reason you ended up there and it does look nice and not to overcrowded where you are. Have you noticed how much cooler cops are here and not always hanging around to bust you like in NY. I live in a county and right by a major highway/main road with stores on it where there are tons of crazy cars. They turned a major road that packed with Dealerships every store you could imagine,storage places ,doctors offices and on this road every 2-3 miles all the stores start back over. So you’ll have McDonald’s,Himedepot,Lowes,Ford,Dodge,Chevy dealer,uhaul,rental cars,banks,Publix,Outback,Walmart,strip malls,dispensaries,etc. So no joke every 2-3 miles all these places start over. So i have 3 Homedepots within 5-10 minutes in the car. I have 4 Publix within 2 miles. So they then turned this road into a highway-they’re actually building more overpasses right by my house as we speak because this used to be just a flat road and they’re working their way up it and it runs the whole county and building over passes because at least 3 intersections on this road would be on the top 10 deadliest intersections in the country every year-one year we had 5 of the top ten. So image trying to turn onto this highway from an intersection with cars going 60-90mph. Nit merging just turning out of these stores or street. So it’s insane and believe it or not having a fast car saves your life here. My wife drives our Durango Hellcat and everyone said i was going to kill my wife but she ended up loving it because she can get out of the way fast and brake super fast. Ppl just don’t realize these cars are built to make driving easier and technically safer. Anyway the car looks cool but i will miss the way it was with the hood and blue spoiler.
Would love to get my hands on the hood if you choose to sell it
Are you local in Florida?
Did you get the startup issues resolved?
There was no fuel pressure. The problem was in the fuel tank & yes all is working now
@RTLife I spoke to Glenn, I am bringing my car to the Saint Lucie location to get my tune right ... He is a good dude and had nothing negative to say about your setup... Yours was one of the first and just need some extra love....
You'll like Glenn. He's a straight shooter - my Charger needed a lot of love. Glad it's coming together though
You selling you’re old hood?
Yes - probably sell it for $200 or so.
I have seen that white car around before
Could of saved a few hundred if you ordered it from DRA based out in Ohio. They're selling them hoods in the $700 dollar range not including shipping.
I really like Vicrez. Everything I've ordered there seems to fit & work out nicely. I appreciate the heads up though
Dra in Columbus them my boys good dudes 2 work with
@deidramcgee7069 yup those are the guys I'm just saving to buy a hood from them.
Keep the hood black😊
Will do. Going to do all gloss black
Are you selling the hood I’ll buy if you do
Are you local to florida? Shipping these things is crazy expensive
Really liked the other hood better butthis one is not bad.
yah a lot of people love that Killer Bee hood. Very aggressive looking
@@RTLife very!
I like this hood much better to be honest. Though I liked the old one, wasn't a big fan of it. 😉
yah this has a more buttoned up, OEM look to it. I also like the larger/wider scoop. Overall couldn't be happier
The Amazon photo hood isn't the same as what you received.
Wrap it the same color as the car. And wrap the vents too same color.
I like the black/blue combo.
Nicceee that old hood looked rice asf
I think this looks much nicer. The Killer Bee was aggressive as hell - the wrap choice probably made it look worse
Wrap it in carbon fiber
That would look nice but I'm a big fan of gloss black hoods
Noticed your car leaves you stranded a lot. I wish these were reliable but reliability and dodge/chrysler don't go together.
I mean new things right, but to me it's a huge downgrade just me though.
That killer bee is very aggressive. Overall though, this looks much cleaner & buttoned up.
Sell the old hood
Can’t stand Vicrez as a company.
I've had a lot of luck with them. Ordered so many items from them in the last 3 years
I have one on my 300. bought from woodyskustoms
Such a great looking hood. Couldn't be happier
