Dodge Challenger Side Skirts Install!!! (Harder Than I Thought)

[@KCars]

Yes this is a re upload. The first time it got demonetized so I changed some stuff and uploaded it again, hope you enjoy!

[@vegaswould]

Why did it get Demonitized?

[@KCars]

Modern Muscle 180 sorry for the late reply, someone claimed copyright for one of the songs I used so I just had to take it out

[@paulfontanelli3415]

Great job with the camera under the car. I wasn't sure if I would like them, but now I will zl1 and check some out. Thank you

[@KCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@heribertoabrego4429]

i put the same ones on my scat pack shaker i put tape on the metal pieces so they would stay in place and wouldnt fall off during installation and i used a drop of loctite on each piece. took me about 1 hr 45 min to finish

[@KCars]

Good idea

[@cazzt-el7741]

To get the challenger to go up the ramp without an issue, just take a piece of 2×4 and place it just before the ramp.it will lift the challenger enough to clear the ramp. Hope this helps, otherwise great video man.

[@KCars]

Definitely would’ve been a good idea, thanks!

[@AlB1974]

Nice video! I need to replace the side skirts on my Challenger. The ones on there now started to warp and I live in Michigan and I noticed there's some rust going on under the driver's side skirt now so I'm kind of hesitant to remove them if for some reason there's some body damage down there.

[@KCars]

Thanks! And ya I’ve heard they can cause rust by trapping dirt and moisture so that’s one downside of having side skirts

[@aragureghian724]

So I think I have to stop watching your videos! Smile ☺... Love the rock guards and the instructions. And now I like the side skirts! Anything to keep the car cleaner. They get dirt you write but it should only be the undersplash [?]. Nice job and video. You got a good series going. I didn't know about the running lights either.

[@KCars]

ara gureghian they get dirty really easily when it rains because all the water and dirt falls directly onto the side skirts but they protect rocks and dirt from flying up from the road. Thanks for watching glad I can help!

[@SuperSynoptic]

On the front and rear inserts (brackets), does the face need to be painted black whereas one will not see the anodized aluminum? As a side note, why do you believe that a large insert (bracket) is not positioned in the rear?

[@KCars]

No I didn’t paint the brackets, they’re not visible unless you look underneath. The larger brackets fit into the holes that are in the side skirt, they will not fit anywhere else other than where they are designed to go

[@SuperSynoptic]

@@KCars And what are those two holes about 1/8" in the side skirts at 5:44 to 5:51 in video? Yes I know the brackets are for the designated points, but why not a large bracket in the rear as the front?

[@KCars]

@Synoptic 12 I’m actually not sure what those two holes are for. The larger brackets are designed to be used as jack points and I believe the car already has a jack point in the rear as part of the frame of the vehicle so I’d guess that’s why they didn’t include a larger bracket in the rear and only in the front, since I don’t think the front of the car has a stock jack point and the rear does

[@SuperSynoptic]

@@KCars Thanks very much. When you speak of the jack points (front & rear), namely the rear jack point (stock) is that for certain years? I have a 2013. You purchased the ZL1 Addons side skirts and you did not question those holes? I just received the ZL1 Addons today and did not notice those holes.

[@KCars]

It might be different if you have a 2013, I’m not really familiar with the pre 2015 ones. I’m not sure what the holes are for, I don’t believe the instructions mentioned anything about them. I think they are probably different for you since they have them listed separately on the website for your year

[@jerichorivera4000]

Now my question is.. how are you able to do an oil change and lift the car because of that side skirt installed.now you just cover the pinch weld or what if you want to rotate your tire or remove tire .

[@KCars]

There are still other jack points that aren’t covered

[@subarus202]

ZL1 says on the website that the front ones are larger so you can use them as jack pads.

[@DesireeValchar]

I’ve been debating on doing this, hard to tell how it looks. Maybe once you have it clean and outside I’ll make my decision. Great job man. Do you know if the hellcat splitter will fit on our cars?

[@KCars]

Thanks, it definitely looks good but it catches a lot of dirt and it’s hard to keep it clean. And I’m not too sure about the hellcat splitter

[@mikepoint4983]

Pretty cool . Thanks for sharing

[@KCars]

Mike Point no problem, thanks for watching!

[@SuperSynoptic]

How do you jack up the car using the pinch welds when the side skirts are installed?

[@KCars]

The mounting brackets are designed to be used as jack points

[@SuperSynoptic]

@@KCars You mean the outermost two 'front and back'?

[@KCars]

I believe so. It might only be the front ones that are designed to be used as jack points. Whichever mounting bracket is larger than the others is the one that is designed as a jack point

[@SuperSynoptic]

@@KCars Are not the (2) farthermost outer both the same size as opposed to the inner clips? Thanks very much. By the way nice wheels.

[@KCars]

I don’t remember from memory, I’d have to look at it. On the website it says the front ones are designed as jack points. If the rear ones are the same as the front then I’d assume that they are also jack points. Thanks!

[@williamsantiago320]

Where can I find those brackets?

[@KCars]

If you’re looking for just the brackets then you can email ZL1 addons customer service and they can do a custom order for you

Thanks!

That beautiful interior makes my 2017 RT with clothe interior feel inferior. Rhymes. Lol.

[@KCars]

Thanks! I’m definitely a fan of the two tone color leather as well

[@orlandoares530]

GREAT JOB BRO!!!!!!

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@paulbare6371]

good how to video ty sir

[@KCars]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@magnuman008]

no locktight??

[@KCars]

No but I probably should’ve. Drivers side ended up getting loose and it got ripped off when I hit a bump. Video tonight explaining it

[@magnuman008]

@@KCars yes I would use Red and also how easy is it to locate the front Jack lift points with these on?

[@KCars]

It’s not too difficult. They are still pretty visible and I believe the side skirt mounts are actually designed to be lift points as well

[@jianrenhong7666]

Hey where can I get it ?

[@KCars]

Zl1addons.com

[@phantom5185]

Real shit design, pinching, put some rivets

[@123antknee]

NOICE!!!

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@alexanderchavez2164]

Some people should not own muscle cars! Ever heard of a jack and jack stands???

[@arthurtashchiyan6977]

whats wrong with using a ramp? i see nothing wrong. Always use it

[@hevirotation]

@@arthurtashchiyan6977 Jack stands would have made it much easier because the car would be higher and would be level.

[@arthurtashchiyan6977]

@@hevirotation true, that makes sense. Dammit, got me thinking now. I have to install my side skirts, strut tower bar, louvers, front lip with rods and diffuser on tomorrow. ugh

[@hevirotation]

@@arthurtashchiyan6977 I just placed some orders for a few mods myself. Going to do install vids for all of them. I had them on my RT but didn't want to remove to put on my SRT.
