Black Lug Nuts - $70
Window Tinting - $200
Magnaflow Exhaust - $600
Air Raid Cold Air Intake - $235

Just a quick note for ppl with all black cars. when I was in the Navy stationed in Sasebo Japan the locals were all painting the wheel wells with HD deep dark paint. then put the wheels back on and trust me, amazing results. it looks so much cleaner and just better overall. just by painting your wheel wells deep black makes it ALL LOOK MUCH BETTER TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. some even use bedliner in the wells and paint that black for added protection. just my $.02
Acuravigor47 thanks man
Lol im going to be over in Okinawa as my first duty station so i will hopefully see that too im gonna definitely look around at how to
Such a better design than the new chargers
+Dean M No.
+Michael yes.
+King Kamehameha ugh. I agree so much
Dean M if only this had the hellcat engine, it would 100% match its look. And the tan laguna leather seats, 2017 charger technology, exhaust and sound, transmission, dark tinted windows, the 2017 charger racing tail light, and 6 piston brembo brakes, you got a perfect 34/10 charger for me.
Dean M but somehow, i liked the new design and interior of the 2015+ chargers and challengers
...8 years later, this style charger still one of my favorite cars.... Really wild to see where your journey ended up from here, all the cars you ended up driving. nice work.
Thanks for the info and opinions. Quickly falling for this car from a mild crush and thinking about possibly joining the Dodge family. It's always tough to stray away from what you know and trust, and jump on something new when you're spending that kind of money. We'll see what happens. Thanks again and all the best moving forward.
Thanks for doin this video. If you read this you will notice I have an SRT4 (since '07) and in the market for a new car. This and the Callenger have been my top 2 prospects and I think you just talked me into this one. If you said anything negative about the paddle shifters, I probably would have walked away from this car. I prefer a stick but also prefer 4 doors. Great video!!

He likes em black
You’re first 3 tips are a “must have” for me
Oh and i did the interior light swap the way you did but with blue and wow does it look better, definitely recommend it
Love your whip man!
Nice review! The car looks sharp...It's so funny how much people's tastes differ...i love the chrome and I hate led lights.
My favorite. I'll get one of these someday. Probably not black, but it does look nice
HID's .... I have an issue with my HID lights on my 2013 RT 😔 how much do they run for or good recommendation as to where to get them? My brother says they get pretty pricey?
I'm looking at a 2011 Dodge Challenger RT and a 2014 Dodge charger police package... .what one would be a better vehicle???
How bad is the 5 speed auto? I know the 8 speed gets you better mileage but is the shifting good on the 5 speed? Asking because used Chargers for the models up to 2014 are really cheap now.
Did you ever have control arm problems how long the original front suspension armd Last you? For me the original get so soft and feels uncomfortable the car sway around and stuff
I just bought one EXACTLY like this Saturday. Curious, where did buy the lights on the side? My car is all BLACK so I need some color, like chrome or orange or red!! Thanks
How long did you own this amazing looking car I’m looking to get one awd for the snow how was ur reliability thanks if you answer
do you still have support from the dealer? talking about part replacements and such?
what kind of mpg does it get i know its a stupid question but i drive alot dont wanna live at the gas station
Im thinkin on gettin a new car soon i know i can get a better deal on a 2014 hemi but idk if it be better to go with the 8speed hemi 🤔
I also have a 2014 Black Charger.....I love the car also. I sort of wished I would have waited until the 2015 came out. But the car has been great. The best car I have every owned. It is even better than my 07 BMW 335i. Love what you did to your car. It really looks great.
+Steven Burnett Iv'e been trying to decide between an older 335i like an 07-2011, which would you recommend and has the BMW been problematic like they say turbo bow's are?
I never had any problems with my 2007 BMW 335i. I think they are great cars....and high quality. But I think any of the 07 thru 11 would be a great car
should i get a 2013 dodge charger rt or a new model v6
This car looks Amazing !
Would you recommended buying a used one?
I have two RTs AWD, a 2013 and a 2014. I also have a 2013 Camaro 2SS. I run Pirelli Tires on them all. They last 5 years with moderate to insane, aggressive driving. For R/Ts Pirelli P235/55R19 105v Scorpion Verde All Season. I am well pleased with the quality, performance, durability, appearance, tread design and cost of these tires. In my opinion, one could not expect any more, than what these tires deliver to the driver. Just my two cents, for what it's worth. Note: If purchasing used tires on Ebay, AWD Vehicle, all 4 tires must match tread depth within 2/32 or damage to the transfer case can occur. ( For example: I just mounted 4 tires on my 2013 R/T. All purchased from Ebay, different sellers - (2 New 10/32 tread depth) on front and (2 Used 8-9/32 tread depth) on the rear. Fronts tend to wear quicker due to turning. I saved $368 buying tires this way, over purchasing (4 New Tires) The 4 tires removed had 1/32 tread left and were all evenly worn. Unreal tire quality and durability, for what I put them through. I maybe rotated them twice, within the 5 years - approx. 32,000 to 74,000 miles. Hope everyone finds this example useful.
Has anyone with a 2014 RT, had the battery saver mode problem, or is that the previous year models?
Brother has a 2013 rt and it handles really really well on the mountain twisties
I went with p zeros in the stock size -- I have the same wheels -- for a bit under $1,000 and am very happy with them, for whatever that's worth. but I don't know yet if they'll wear any better than the oem firehawks, which barely lasted 17,000 miles! probably not.
I have one just like it! I absolutely love it!!!! 🖤
Enjoyed the video! Just picked up a 2014 R/T awd and love it so far. What % is your tint?
+Who Ordered the Jaja? Awesome, congrats!! I have 25% on all of the windows (none on the windshield). I previously had 5% on the back windows of my truck but it was too dark, backing up a night was a guessing game with that lol. 25% has been perfect for me!
oo thas kool i was gonna get them same ones im glad i said that thanks bro
Hi I’d like to buy chardger. Is this car reliable ? How much does it cost а maintenance? Sorry for my English I’m from Ukraine 🇺🇦
How much you gotta make a year to afford it though
I love the blaq rims the best
What percent are your front windows ???
I love my Daytona charger. I have the blue stitching and leather seats. Comes with spoiler and black grill.
Derek R same - ‘13 model
Wow I bought the charger with all the stuff you love and the stuff I hate I'm replacing the black wheels with chrome ones and replace the black grille with a forgiato chrome one
Mine's a 2014 too! Love the way everything is. Just had a little mishap in floods but apart from that they are amazing to run.
Just a quick question: what is the use of catch can in this car? Doesn't it have a catch can or breather system already?
+Paritosh Uttarwar I use a Billet Technology Catch Can! I have a video from about a month ago talking about it in depth!
Dumb question but what can of gas u put in it
Oh and the 500 bucks a year in tire shine is fun too!
Can't agree with you more on the tires. I just replaced my 13 R/T Max's Firehawks after only 18K miles. Every time I'd hid a small puddle of water the car would hydroplane. Worst OEM tires ever. Outside of that car is great. Also, you should add the door sill "Charger" plates.
I have a 2014 but it's a v6 I still love it though
All you need is to use the 90 degree plastic elbow that came on the oem hose you pulled off to put the catch hose. You use a barb fitting so you can connect the elbow to the bt hose and then you can run the engine cover.
robfrmny21 Ah! Yep, that should work! Appreciate it man!
@RP Productions thanks for the info.
whats the mpg like
I still love this car
Where did you get the muffler work done? Yourself or something like Midas. I would like to have the same setup but don't know where to go.
+Mark Lampman I went to a local muffler shop and had them do it. Paid around $550 for everything including install and the additional pipe they had to add in place of the existing resonators.
Haha good video man! I got my R/T last November so i'm about to have it for a year as well. All the things you said I agreed to lol And I wanted a black charger as well but luckily the guy at the dealership was convincing to convince me out of getting a black one, I ended up getting a billet silver one. The only thing I don't like about mine is that it didn't come with a backup cam. Big car butt problems when trying to park haha. Would of been a extra 1k for one. And I hate my Beats speakers, already my front passenger side door and dash speaker sound like their going to blow whenever a bass note hits. Too busy to take it to the dealership and get it replaced. I'm from California so I don't really see that many R/T's or SRT's driving around only base models and SXT's and I only seen ONE Hellcat.
+ImmortalZombie6669 That's unfortunate to hear about your speakers, perhaps you just got a batch of some bad ones. And yeah the backup camera is really helpful haha!
what does the oil catch can do. whats the benefit. thanks, and great vid man
HIMI2003 Hemi engines produce a lot of "oil blow by" so instead of it going into your intake manifold it gets caught in the can. Pretty much it makes your car run cleaner and doesn't "degrade" your octane. For example if you had 93 octane gas full of nasty oil residue stuff it wouldn't burn as well as clean gas without the gunk in it. There's a lot of explanations on the internet but long story short it's just good to have for the longevity of the car and it will run maybe a little better.
I watched the video with you only having the car for about 3 weeks and you said you thought the tires were great... And that you thought the people who said otherwise were stupid... Lol I have a blacktop... The tires SUCK as you alluded to during this video. I just thought that was funny haha. Great videos by the way!
Robby Blake Haha yeah I'm aware of that, whoops. When I first got the car I didn't really drive it hard or anything so I was unaware of the limits because I had just switched over to the car world from having a truck. That was my bad lol, just an initial impression that was totally wrong.
I'm looking into getting a 2013 Dodge Charger RT within the next month could you plz tell me what would be the best exhaust system to get at a good price?
Did you ever get it
I have the exact same charger except that I have mine In granite grey with metallic flakes in it
what kind of tires and rims do you have? i just bought a charger last week and would to buy some exactly like yours. thanks.
felix deleon My current tires and be found in one of my more recent videos, they are Continental Extreme Contact DW. 245/45/20 on all 4's.
The wheels are just the standard Dodge Charger Blacktop wheels that come on them from the factory. They are 20x8.
Hey charger looks great! I myself have got a 13' charger rt blacktop in the red 3 coat pearl which I love the look of. I got flowmaster catback and qtp electric exhaust cutouts (sound loud)! Lol question for ya, how did you get the dodge badge off the grille to change it, mine feels stuck on and how did you get the badges of the trunk to change them? I would love the same rt badges as you and maybe the old school charger script badge. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
dannny2511 The badge on the grille is just held by some little clips, I got a small screw driver and just pried it off while being careful not to scratch anything. It just takes a little force but it will come right off. The trunk badges I plastidipped red with 4 coats of red and 2 coats of glossifier. Appreciate the comment man, let me know if you need any more help!
Ok cool thanks. Oh so the trunk badges stayed on and got sprayed, got ya. That grille badge though just feels like it's gonna snap the dam grille when prying it off, kinda scared me lol
My favorite Car to drive
I have a 2013 R/T. What are your thoughts on a Diablo Tuner? I'm kind of surprised you haven't gone that route considering the mods you've already done to the car. Very nice video and beautiful Charger.
livewireblanco The dealership I bought my car from has a "warranty forever" on the power-train so I really don't want to risk loosing that from having the tuner on my car. I've read a bunch of good things about them but also a bunch of bad. I've almost pulled the trigger on one several times but always back out of it. A buddy of mine recently bought one for his 2010 5.7L charger and the can tunes that came on it were not much of a power increase so I didn't really find the cost/loss of warranty worth it. I guess the only way to really get some good power increase from one would be getting a custom tune and I'd rather not push my car that hard and risk anything going wrong.
He's got back caliper envy
Oh my god man i fucking love your car this is my dream car i wish i had this so bad!!
nice car bro
good video i am on 11 months with mine and have about 10k miles. we have a lot of similar upgrades as well. are u located in houston?
datboibg21 Awesome man! & Yessir I am!
eBay has mopar stickers for the back light reflectors that make a world of difference in the appearance if you're going for the blackout look, I did it to mine and I couldn't be happier and they don't come off from normal washing
+Braden Weisenburger My most recent video is actually a video over new side markers for my Charger.
Hi man , great looking car and you have taste on how to keep it clean and simple , but does the 5 speed automatic is it really dated for the car ? And how is your mpg with you hemi v8
Mini4Cooper appreciate the comment man! I would say that the five speed is the only real draw back to this car. It's not as bad as people think it is but it could be better. I don't really mind it and if I'm driving the car hard I'll use the paddle shifters and they are great! MPG in the city is around 16 while highway driving is upper 20's. If I set the cruise control at 51mph I can get 33mpg. It all depends how you drive it but it's really not too bad!
Thanks man !
2014 best looking year
Nice car bro
Can you review the Ford Taurus SHO? And can someone explain why the SHO is faster than the Charger SRT8, not RT but SRT8. (2008-2014).
+Elvis Schoeffer I'd love to review one! I don't see where the SHO is faster than the SRT8 though, the claimed 0-60 on them is 5.1 seconds. AWD and turbos can make for really good launches but I don't think any stock SHO's can beat an SRT8. The claimed 0-60 is right on par with the R/T's.
+RP Productions Thanks. I saw a couple of drag races videos on youtube where the Taurus smoked the SRT8, they were probably modified I guess. I wanted to buy a Dodge Charger RT and one of the reasons was your video on it. But a friend of mine who own a Taurus SHO told me to reconsider because the SHO is faster, cheaper to insure and easy to live with. Whenever you have chance to make a video review of the SHO that would ne great otherwise i'd like your opinion on if you were to choose which one would you pick?
Thanks
Personally I think the Taurus just looks like any regular car and it has no excitement to it. The only thing that's really impressive is when doing proper hard launches with them. I picked the Charger because it's extremely practical with all of the space, has plenty of power to have fun with, and I really like the way they look. I suppose it's personal preference. Also the Chargers are cheaper to purchase and I thoroughly enjoy daily driving mine.
+RP Productions Thanks
You forgot to say the tent bro that’s 4 things that make the car look better
It's to bad they didn't put the 8 speed in the good looking Chargers of 2011-2014s with the Hemi. The 2015s and newer, the front of them look not near as good.
is it hard to put the RT emblem on the grill?
+Erick3263 No not at all! Pry the existing badge out with a flat head screwdriver (it will take a little bit of force just be cautious) and then pop the new one on! They're just held on by a few plastic clips.
Hows the 5 speed on these chargers? I have a G8 gt and i got a good deal on one of these but i was kinda holding off for an SS
Not terrible but not great either. I never had an issue with mine but in the year 2014 it was for sure in need of an upgrade compared to everything else on the market.
***** thanks for the response! I think i will wait for a used 2015 SRT or the SS sedan once they lower in price.i love my G8 but the looks of the dodge is sexy sucks that GM is the only one offering a 4 door muscle car in a manual...
Rewatched this video and it’s funny how much foreshadowing there is at the end. 😂
Now you own a mustang
* Camaro zl1 now
I have a '14 Charger R/T with 30K miles on it. If you're not going to change the tires right away, make sure you pay attention to the tread when you do your rotations. I ended up replacing two of the tires because one was worn out and the other had tread separation. I'm definitely not a fan of Firestone tires. Other than that, not much to complain about really.
clangston3 I ended up replacing the tires a few days after this video was shot and it made a massive difference in the cars handling and overall driveability.
please .. I need formation about this car dodge charger black 2C3CDXBG4EH106124
hey bud, what part of tx are you in ? I JUST got a red on black of this exact car and looking for group to do rides with
James Rhodes I'm from the Houston area, let me know if you're around here and I can tell you where some good meets are in the area.
***** can u tell me some locations
Magnaflow exhaust for $600, is that with or without installation?
+Duc Luu, DMD That was with installation. 2 Mufflers, Exhaust extension in place of the existing resonators, new hangers, and installation for $550 + tax at my local muffler shop.
Awesome car
Awesome car! What kind of mpg do you get with it? And what percentage is your tint?
Eduardo Martinez In the City I get about 16, Highway is upper 20's depending on speed. My tint on every window is the legal limit here in Texas, I believe it's either 20% or 25%.
+RP Productions na man legal tint in Texas is 5% that's what igot on mine all around except for the front two igot the 2nd lowest which is 25%? Cause the dude told me ineeded to have a perm. To have 5% all around man.
Well the back windows can be as dark as you want them but the fronts legal limit is 25%. I have 25% all around so most people just refer to the entire package as the "legal limit" package.
did it come stock with the lugs and dodge logo blacked out on the rims?
+Zach Salvaggio Mine came with the dodge center cap already black but the lugs were chrome. I bought black lug nuts at my local discount tire because I like the all black look and I wanted lugs with locks on them, the chrome ones from the factory weren't locking lugs.
***** Alright I was getting my rims and grille blacked out and wanted to make it look stock, thanks.
How is the quality control on this one compared to your 2016 Scat Pack? I know you were having some issues with your Scat Pack and was wondering how this one compared. This is pretty much my goal car in the near future. Hopefully, anyway. Depending on how it works out lol.
This car was a tank! Never had a single issue and I loved it! Not every Scat Pack will have the issues I've been having nor will ever 5.7 be perfect.
RP Productions That makes me feel better haha. Now it's a battle between this (Charger R/T, preferably Blacktop), a 2017 Maxima, or a Hyundai Genesis R-spec...
WILDLY different cars, but that's what I'm looking at haha
Charger R/T :)
Where did u get the hemi badges you have on the side panels?
jason aguilera moparonlineparts.com/dodge-charger-emblem-hemi-p-6372.html
***** thanks just ordered me!
would the v8 charger be good for a first car ? or do you recommend getting the v6 first ?
+sweg yolo blaze it The v8 will be fine for a first car if you're responsible and know how to handle the car. Take your time and get a good feel for the car before you start pushing any boundaries.
+RP Productions thank you for responding! I love your old charger, and you're new charger is the roaring definition of badass !
Haha thank you man!!
I saw one for $12000 with about 15000 miles on it, extract same model with the beats and touch screen , is that a good deal considering how old it is now?
12000 for an R/T like this? Was it a salvage title? If it had a clean title and no problems then yes that's a great deal but for it to be priced that low something is off.
stay away if it's that low.. should be around 22k easily
+RP Productions after watching your channel in trading my 2011 in for a Scat Pack
Yes I bought my 2014 Dodge charger RT with 60,000 miles for 20k so if it's that low it's for a reason.
How much is the rt stock and whats top speed
+nick haku Starting msrp for the 2015's is 33k. The 2014's were a little bit cheaper than that.
Top speed stock is governed around 145 I believe, without the governor they're aerodynamically limited to 170.
What rims do you have on this?
+Michael they're the factory wheels that come on the Blacktop edition Chargers. You can find them here: moparonlineparts.com/dodge-charger-wheel-p-4038.html
i want one of these in white
One more thing would you rather get a newer base model or a older beast like a srt8
If it was up to me I'd try to find an older SRT for a good price but if that's out of your budget then I'd get a low mile/well taken care of R/T. Personally I wouldn't get the v6 because you'll want more.
***** I've had my 2014 SXT for a month now. While I would love for it to be faster, it's got enough "Get Up and Go" when I want it.... Then there was this surprise that I got after a 200 mile round trip with the Cruise set to 76mph with some stop and go construction traffic.. My computer read out 34mpg & my face lit up. The v6 made sense for me because I put on about 20k per year. Maybe in a few more years the 2015 Hellcats will have come down far enough.
an the best car to get iz tha 392 or tha hellcat
You should put up a how-to for replacing interior lights.
SkitzoPhr3nia th-cam.com/video/Dn51W2fQSnE/w-d-xo.html
Already have one!
where did you get your black lug nuts?
+Andrew Sagirius Haha my local Discount Tire sold them to me for about $70.
It's a good choice man! The perfect car for practicality and power!
Lose the spoiler and put on cop wheels. Other than that looks great
yea i brought a dodge charger 2010 color black 2 weeks ago and holy crap it gets dust soo fast and dirty. but i love black
How many miles on it did you face any problems?
XzFIGUEROAzX it gets dusty the same day u wash it
Installing the CAI does that void your warranty
Kevin Wise Jr Nope, it will just void your intakes warranty so basically if something on the intake breaks and it's aftermarket then Dodge will not cover it-which is basically a given.
do you still have the side marker lights??? +RP Productions
+Melvin Gibbons (Monty) Yes I do! This video was shot before I got them!
Ok. I brought them too, did you get the paper in the box and it told you to paint because water can get in
No I did not! What did it tell you to paint?
+RP Productions I am out and about, I will email you the info about.
Ok no problem! My email is Rileyp007@aol.com
Well when I bought my charger they must sold the one frome the back what idiots:(
They charge me over a thousand dollars for firehawk gt tires thank god I seen this video
Would you recommend a Charger as a first car?
+Zelly Shaw I would! Before I owned my Charger I drove a truck and didn't have much seat time in a car. The Charger is a mix between good power and size. To me I believe it's better to start off in something larger (such as the charger) as it will make you a better driver and more aware of everything going on. It truly has been a great car and I thoroughly enjoy it.
+Zelly Shaw My first BRAND New car was an 09 Charger SXT. Just purchased a 13 Charger Daytona 2 wks ago.
Buying a 2014 Charger R/T tomorrow I’m 17 and have been driving around a 2006 charger and I loved it never really gave me a problem
Your Mom how has it been so far?
Excuse me! Do you/anybody know a car insurance company that have, a affordable car price with full coverage for a 2014 r/t dodge charger. Is anything possible from $230 or less?
Allstate, I have full coverage 24 years old pay 150$ month.
jason aguilera really? I'm 24 about to be 25 in two month, have no bad driving record so that should be great right? Wait this for the r/t right?
+gabrielle lawrence yes that's a good thing. I have a perfect driving record no accidents or tickets. yes mine is a R/T as well.
jason aguilera ok thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much I'm going to check into it! Have a bless day!
TheFactsAccordingToGabbie1791 progressive has the cheapest car insurance if u wanna look into that I’m 17 and pay 700 every six months for a Charger rt 2016
whats that thing that you put inside your windshield thats connected to the 12v port, if you dont mind me asking and whats it for?
+Paul Roucco It's a Valentine 1 radar detector. Basically it gives me a warning when cops have their speed radar on.
Wow thats awsome, where did you buy it? And you think you can give me the link and is that legal lol?
You can buy them at www.valentine1.com/
Yes they are legal. This is one of the higher end radar detectors you can buy, if you want a cheaper one just do a little searching around amazon and you can find something you like.
Thanks bro i really appreciate it... by the way im in love with your blacktop, i made my SE look as close as possible to yours, but yours is just to sick... thanks for the help again!
No problem man! Haha aweh that's awesome! Thanks!
Need tire shine
Funny how you changed your mind on the tires lol...a year ago, you called people stupid for saying the tires suck lolol
