Dude, I was looking everywhere for information on Merrick or Scalia. You nailed it in this video. I’ve bought from Scalia before and was satisfied but didn’t know which company to buy from for rings (most videos on TH-cam feature merrick) and your video nailed it. Just purchased my Diablo rings from Scalia (torred to match my R/T grill badge) and can’t wait. Your input on the passenger side headlight not needing to remove the piece in the middle of the headlight in order to install the ring is what sold me. Thanks a lot!!! This will make my car look great. Your videos are the best!
Just ordered a pair from Scalia M/S. I did one with an R/T screen (front) to cover my open headlight from the Hellcat lower airbox mod I did over the summer. Thanks for another great Idea. Even got 5% off. Thanks
@@WorkPlayDrive not a big hit to the wallet at all and glad to purchase items from a small USA based vendor. Great customer service and fast email reply’s Now I have something covering the open headlight from the Hellcat air box mod. Still doing all back to keep my stealth look.
I purchased the anodized purple Merrick rings a while back and I love 'em! They are still in perfect condition and look great on my Go Mango Shaker. I also have the Hellcat headlight intake but I had people tell me that part of my headlight was missing. lol After watching this, I think I'm going to add the "headlight/intake grill" to the back of the inlet. Keep up the vids!
Wow quite the offering might have to swap mine out from another manufacture these look great. I'm running both screens on the front I really like the plug for the passenger side for my Scat what a great idea. Like what your doing to your ride looking sharp.
One of your best videos yet (for the idea it gave me). When i saw some of those were 3D printed I thought Ohhh!! Maybe I should open autocad and just make one. Decided to check if someone already did first. Sure enough!! Found the file to print the intake rings but someone else uploaded a file they designed to 3d print these caps that are convex with the mopar logo. They pop in the air intakes. Also someone tossed up a file for a phone holder pro clip. I need that too. I should upload the mount I designed for the X9 throttle controller. Although I cant imagine a lot of people who be looking for that. Looks like I'm firing up my 3d printer in a minute. Edit: Lmfao. So printing started. Looks like it'll take 1 day 2 hours and 42 min for both rings. But that's because the print includes a optional back piece I'm printing to catch water. And those are huge.
@@mpossjr head to www.thingiverse.com and type in challenger. You'll find a ton of 3d printable files. Personally the only 1 I designed was a mount to hold my x9 throttle controller. If you happen to need that you can message me on IG @Respond_code3 I can send you the STL file if you need to print one out.
New challenger owner here! Thanks for the video!!! Love the shorter rings as I’d like to also add LED strips in tubes as well. Any pics or videos of that look: lights with rings? Thanks for a great video!
Hey Workplaydrive, I need a favor man, I would like you to make a video on cleaning the widebodies engine bay the right way I’ve pretty much purchased If not everything most of all the items you’ve posted and just ordered the SRT center caps and the engine bay painted kit from Scalia but I’ve been hearing a lot of different ways to clean the engine bay but Ive learned pretty much everything from you about the challengers and I’ll like to keep it that way 🤷🏾♂️ thanks Bud, have a bless day
My engine cleaning video would be pretty boring. Every time I wash the car I use the water that gets under the hood and about three or four fresh microfiber towels to wipe down the engine. No products no cleaners just water runoff from the car wash and soft microfiber towels.
Work Play Drive ok thanks,I was looking into some type of engine dress up or something that’ll have it with a little shine but been scared to spray the engine down with water, Ive heard it’ll mess up electrical or something idk but would you say just cover up the alternator and it’ll be ok to spray the engine bay down? But anyway man i appreciate you and your videos and I always get on just to see if you posted anything new, I was telling me wife about your Hellcat Widebody and that you had a Scatpack first and I think ima go head and pay this Scatpack off and go for an Hellcat as well, do you really really feel a difference?
I have a TorRed Challenger, I want a bright red ring but I want it to match somewhat. They have so many different reds that idk which to choose or match
I didn’t get my parts yet but was wondering How do I use a block off plate on the one side that’s open to the air cleaner ? I can’t block that off .. can I ? On the passenger side there’s a cap which I know I can remove and install block off plate just not sure about driver side.
@@WorkPlayDrive on a different note what’s the website who sells the lug nut covers. I can’t seem to find which video you gave the info on. Thanks again
Thx for the really nice video. I was hoping you'd pick up the 1st one 1st column in the box farthest to passenger side, and you never did explain that one. All looks good, but my hardest is screen position. I would like the posterior position, but I would think it's harder to clean than being up front.
Hey WorkPlayDrive. Great content. Really lilke your videos. Quick question. Where did you buy the front spaced license plate holder.? Looks pretty cool.. Available for rear plate as well? Thank you!
My front plate is from Sto-n-sho it's a removable front plate. Here is my video on it. th-cam.com/video/FH6qgRe24Hs/w-d-xo.html They do not make them for the rear.
The screen is usable with the airbox tube, you just need to pop the lower airbox and tube to install. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes to install.
I just talk to the owner of Scalia Motorsports and he said he no longer does Hydro dipping because he could not produce consistent quality. It looks like mine was one of the first and one of the last sorry man
@@WorkPlayDrive Since you speak to them can you find something out for me I emailed them but I did not get a response I’m sure they are busy I’m wondering if they have or will have triple nickel as one of the colors
Maybe after next season, I'm really enjoying the car as is, I do want to get back to that bagged life, but I still haven't recovered from the Scat Pack. I installed air myself and a few months later returned it to stock...
Roman Serna Anything that will not pass thru it will not be an issue anyway. Just more cheap plastic for looks, that really provides zero benifet to the car. Just gived me the ricer lets bolt useless stuff on our car look. looks like a quality part, but just not something I would ever put on my Hellcat. To me it cheapens the look of the car, but I only own my car. Everyone else is free to bolt whatever they like to their cars. All that orange stuff makes the car look like a girl with pointless tattoos. I like a clean look, but again just my opinion. yours may be 180 of mine and that's cool😉.
Roman Serna --'Cool man. Honestly that color combo sounds tasteful! Its your car make it your own. Hope my comment didnt make me sound like an ass. We both love our cars for the same reason, but have slightly different taste in how they should look.
That's the beauty of Destroyer Grey. You can use about any accent color, and it will look great since the grey is considered a neutral color. I think the orange works really well in this combination. I've got an Octane Red Scat Pack, so I have to be careful not to create an awful unappealing color combo. I may just have to go with anything close to Octane.
This comment will most likely be removed, however people should be aware of Anthony Scalia. I'm not here to knock his product lets be clear, but he is very disrespectful and has no customer service skills towards people.

how is the cleaning out debris on the screens that are at the back. Thats kinda why I like the screen up front for cleaning.
Never really had any debris other than a leaf I reached in and grabbed.
@@WorkPlayDrive Ya...I've had to use a tooth brush to clean off all kinds of bugs...bees, wasps, grasshoppers on my DIPS screens.
I keep forgetting different areas have big bug issues. Being city and suburbs here it’s not so bad for me.

I ordered Merrick’s. Idk if my headlight intake cap comes out. I’m not near my car. I own a 2021 SXT. I can’t find the answer anywhere online.

Is the clear coat new? I had the Merrick rings and they got highly damaged.
I bought the merrick rings in August of 2018 he said they recently started doing the clear coat to protect the rings.
So on your drivers side do you have the Hellcat tube on with the screen inside the tube? Or is the screen not usable with a Hellcat tube?
The screen is usable with the airbox tube, you just need to pop the lower airbox and tube to install. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes to install.
*proceeds to buy Hellcat Challenger* 😂

Missing Hellcat cookies
sorry even if you packed them we would have eaten them before filming :)
So the Diablo rings are the largest diameter with the sticky tape around the shorter inlet barrel? That's what you have been using?
Yes and these are the ones I have been using.
@@WorkPlayDrive perfect.
So the Gattos are bigger than diablos? Or diablos the biggest ?? And does that matter or will they all fit in

Yeah he was hydroDipping them and it looks impressive.
