- Well call me David Hasselhoff because I'm turning my 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody into the mildly mediocre Knight Rider TV show car - KITT. I think that HellRider is a better name than KitKat or HellKit haha so we will stick with HellRider. This is part 1 of a 2 part series. In today's video I start off with telling you exactly what I'm going to do the car and then I proceed to show you how to remove the front bumper on my 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody. This may be the first widebody Challenger front bumper removal on CZcams but I couldn't do it without the help of @MeanBee392 and his video on How to Remove the Front Bumper on a narrow body challenger:

I also utilized a video from @Swavey Mike and his narrow body Charger grill and hood scoop light install for the light that I ordered:

Great video! Super helpful and also insanely suspenseful hahaha
It's definitely a wild look without the front bumper
Haha right?!? I'm glad you enjoyed it my man! Appreciate you tuning in as always!
Yeah it's very funny looking 🤣
Can’t wait to see the second part of your video.
Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
I turned my SRT into KITT years ago. Everyone loves the look and its so recognizable. Especially at night when all the lights are on!!
Great video going to be awesome 🔥🔥
Appreciate you watching it as always my man! 🙏🙏🙏
awesome video!!
Appreciate it man! Took some work but well worth it!
Call it KittKat lol
Haha it's gotta ring to it for sure 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Had all my pins and screws removed but wanted to see a WB pull on the sides before I did 😁 also put front on jack stands, removed tires, and used a impact ratchet for the 10mm bolts. Came off easily 🤷🏻
Doing my RGBW halos and demon eyes, but might do engine bay as well while bumper is off.
Beautiful color and car
Thank You for the video. I now can take the bumper off to send my headlights off to get done. This is one reason I never did mine yet because there was no videos for our widebodys.
Glad you found it helpful man! It's almost exactly like the narrow body so the video I've liked is very helpful because he goes into even more detail. It's a pain but it's definitely worth it!
Wouldn’t have the courage to do that on my car 😂 can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Haha I didn't until I just dived into it 🤣 definitely worth it but a little bit of pain. Thanks for watching my man!
I've been looking for a bumper removal for my 2019 widebody.....thanks SchwayZ
Glad you found it helpful! It's very similar to a narrow body aside from the electrical
You should be the first on to cut the bumper for more airflow for the raider kinda like the bmw has it on new cars
So challenging to remove the bumper from new Challenger. You are brave man. Great Job.
I’m sure it will look awesome on dark time.
Thank you! Definitely took me a little time to make sure I was ready to do it. Now that I've seen the finished product I am very glad I did it!
You are the best please keep making videos your best ever seen thank you and I am a hellcat challenger owner Widebody red eye thank you no video on are car here
I appreciate that!
I felt exactly the same about pulling my bumper, and I've done it tons of times in other cars. You'll see some of my other thoughts in my copycat vid lol.
And about those marks you see on the inside. Long time ago I worked in a plastic molding plant when I still lived in Detroit. Basically we pulled the plastic part out of the mold as it opened up, trimmed the flashing, attached any clips, padding, etc. to it, and threw it on the rack. All before the mold opened up with the next one, and that machine doesn't wait. But before putting it on the rack, we had to write a mark on it that it was done and by me. Sometimes it was initials, sometimes a code. But that's basically what those are. The plant I was in did mostly Chrysler trim pieces, but I also did door panels for corvettes. Those sucked the most and I could barely keep up with the machine, BUT there are a bunch of '99 vettes out there right now that have my markings on the inside of their door panels and that's pretty cool to think about.
Haha I'm excited to see your video on it man! It's definitely a little frustrating but the reward is worth it!
Oh wow that's awesome man! If I ever get a 99 corvette I am pulling the bumper off to see your name haha. Cool you got to do that. Had no idea that was a thing
@@SchwayZ I just released it. I started it last week but didn't get a chance to finish removing it until today, after I already watched yours, so I had to mention your vid too.
@@Scavenger1320 awesome I will check it out! I appreciate it man you didn't have to do that 🙏
You made it look easy bro! 👍👍👍
Haha the power of editing 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for checking it out man!
@@SchwayZ 🤣🤣🤣
6:18 Use a universal joint with extentions with a electric driver and it came off like a champ
Yep I mention that in the video as well. I didn't use it because I don't have one
Thanks for the vid. Gives me a way to install a very hidden camera under the main bumper in front of the lower grill. Will be hooked up to a device that has video in front come on so when pulling into anything sketchy I don’t mess up the splitter. Been good for a year but anything helps.
Great idea! I wish they came with that stock. The noses are very long and it's hard to tell where the splitter is sitting inside the cabin
Some words were exchanged 🤣🤣
Haha it made the pain a little easier 🤣🤣🤣
Goddammit I just tried to watch this at work not realizing it hasn't premiered yet! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha sorry man 🤣 it goes live tomorrow at 5pm MDT! Appreciate you tuning in though!
@@SchwayZ Haha faked me out! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
That intro tho! Really nice video and what's the difference between a wide body and narrow body?
Appreciate it!🙏🙏🙏 The main difference is that my widebody had a wiring harness that you had to disconnect on both sides. The narrow body video I referenced only had it on one side. The other difference is that it's a little harder to reach into the bumper because the fender flares and the wider wheels
@@SchwayZ 👌 no problem, I always enjoy your videos and thanks!
Yeah i think ypu should drive it aroud, just to see what kind of reaction you'll get, it'll be kool
Lol so I actually drove it around a little and I got some looks but I was surprised how many people didn't even notice 😱🤷♂️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You'll probably get asked is that the new look for the Challenger, or did you buy it like that, but ur Definitely gonna get looks
Haha yeah I didn't drive it too much but I was surprised how some people didn't even notice it 🤣
Taking that bumper off gave me a flashback to the one time I took mine off. That was “fun” lol
Haha yeah its worth it when you do something cool. Otherwise it's meant to stay on lol
Dude I had to do this on my RT and I know exactly how you feel about that nut inside the fender!!!! It sucked lol
🤣🤣🤣 they definitely don't make it easy to remove. It's meant to be put on and stay that way haha
I thought it was lease, can you still tune it?
Yes if you don't plan on giving it back to the dealer and I don't plan to give it back
wherenis part 2?
