Vicrez Demon/ Hellcat Front Bumper Install On My 2009 Challenger SRT-8!

[@Riveraharry75]

I get my kit today 🥰. Perfect timing on the video.🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@TIRADORACING]

Awesome! This is only part 1, I talk about having to trim it to fit my 2009, idk what year car you have so just keep in mind you might have or might not have the fitment issues I had.

[@Riveraharry75]

TIRADO RACING I have a 2015 r/t that a recently procharged. This widebody is the most anticipated upgrade. Hopefully it goes well. Thank you for the time you put in your videos. 👍🏽

[@TIRADORACING]

@@Riveraharry75 I think i found you on instagram, I sent a DM, if you questions or want to see it up close i can send pics and videos. Im playing catch-up on video edits and posts, but the kit is painted and on the car lol you can peep it on my insta as well!

[@Riveraharry75]

TIRADO RACING sounds good!!

[@6dreams79]

@prochargedmopar15 when you finish installing your kit please post pics or videos I’m looking to buy and explain the process..I have a 2015 HC and really wanna know if it fits well without modding much

[@leethalmodz313]

Just found this channel ✊👊 keep the challenger videos coming.

[@TIRADORACING]

Thank you so much ! I will! 🤘🏽

I’m 100% into women, but this guy needs to be a model!

[@TIRADORACING]

Haha thank you!

[@dalemeyer5363]

Great vid. Good to know what works and what is needed to get it to fit.

[@TIRADORACING]

Yeap! I did some trimming for it to fit which I’ll show in my next video.

[@ambassador_fleet]

Great stuff, man! Can't wait to see the end result

[@TIRADORACING]

Thank you! I’ve posted a picture on Instagram if you wanna check it out!

[@mango3ninety2]

Looks great! I did the Vicrez Widebody on my Challenger!

[@mango3ninety2]

Thanks for the help!

[@TIRADORACING]

Yessir! Yours looks great!

[@jawlowvette210]

Awesome 👍 thanks for the install video 😊

[@philmerritt8643]

Where did you get the parts from it so hard to find that front bumper kit all together like that.

[@TIRADORACING]

In this video vicrez. The oem kit in my later videos were sponsored.

[@Mexicanpizzayummy]

Of course it will! It’s the same body

[@TIRADORACING]

Lol, you would be surprised it’s not common knowledge! 🤯

[@jorgelucero9829]

so when you installed the demon bumper on part 2, you didn’t need the parts that you took off at 7:38 along with the other parts you took off?

[@TIRADORACING]

Yes sir, I threw them away. Whatever I took off to make it fit is gone. Now let me be clear I primarily use this car for racing, some of the parts I took off are important in the event of a collision. I’m In no way saying take it off I’m simply showing what it takes to make it fit.

[@shahrukhkhan-vr7mf]

Hey very helpful video. Just one question because I want to do this for my 2013 392. To upgrade lights would I be looking for lights of a 2013 model or 2015 onwards as fitting might be different after this install?

[@TIRADORACING]

You need 2015+ headlamps. Do NOT BUY 2015 “styled” headlights for your 2013. They absolutely need to be for a 2015 car. Secondly you need an adaptive harness for them to work on your pre 2015 model.

[@ortega3126]

Any link to the adaptive harness? ​@@TIRADORACING

[@variantplatinum1459]

What is the name of the bracket that slides into the fenders

[@TIRADORACING]

I have no idea. I don’t think there is a formal name for it… I could be wrong tho.

[@lilianalizeth7934]

Where can I get those push tabs for the new bumper I have a 09 RT doing the same thing as you bro

[@TIRADORACING]

Mopar parts online. Or the dealership.

[@superuser87]

Nice job man

[@TIRADORACING]

Thank you!

[@davidlockemusic]

Hey man, did you ever put the piece at the 8:09 minute mark back on, or did you just leave it off? Got my bumper coming in tomorrow and wondering if I need to take that part off.

[@TIRADORACING]

Yea I put it back on. I left the foam off and those corner pieces off tho.

[@JayyBird93]

@@TIRADORACING do you know what purpose that foam and corner pieces serve and if models that come stock with this bumper have similar parts there from factory? I don't mind taking them off if I need to but I would like to know why they are there.

[@TIRADORACING]

Bro I have 0 clue. Just don’t be scared if it’s in the way toss it. I wasn’t building a Hellcat oem factory clone or anything so I threw away a lot of crap to cut weight.

[@dirtybirdvision]

I have the vland 15+ conversion lights. Any idea if they would work with these

[@TIRADORACING]

No clue brother. If their conversion headlights and are still the same size then no. I think those headlights just “look” like 15+ headlights that fit in 14 and below bumpers so no they won’t work. You’ll need actual 15+ headlamps that are smaller

[@JohnnyXR7]

Great vid!!

[@TIRADORACING]

Thank you!

[@emmanuelponce2801]

Ese búmper lo consiguo por eBay ?

[@TIRADORACING]

A lo mejor, pero no estoy seguro

[@matthewbarraza4279]

Appreciate the video but why did. you leave the splitter support rods?

[@TIRADORACING]

Because the they are a bitch to remove. And the car to this day still runs a chassis mounted splitter.

[@matthewbarraza4279]

@@TIRADORACING I get you, great job with the car love the way it came out

[@carlosbobadillatapia]

Hey bro did you end up using the middle bumper support? Im asking because i don't have it and i need to buy it. Thanks.

[@TIRADORACING]

Are you talking about The black plastic piece and foam?

[@carlosbobadillatapia]

@@TIRADORACING minute 8:11 of the video.

[@TIRADORACING]

Yea I did put it back in. The problem wasn’t that upper bracket it was the grill hitting the headlights. In my second video installing the bumper I show everything I did to make it fit. Trimming and cutting.

[@ingobernablessinmiedo5715]

How did you get the old side marker lights connected?

[@TIRADORACING]

The old side marker lights don’t fit the widebody. I used widebody side markers. A 15+ side marker harness. Spliced that into my old harness and it worked. It’s in a KZbin video here somewhere I show exactly how to do it and what part number to buy. I think the video is titled “wiring sidemarkers” or something like that

[@lilianalizeth7934]

Hey bro I installed my hell cat hood as well on my 09 challenger but where the wipers go I have a gap there and if I wash my car it looks like water can go in to my engine do you have the same problem?

[@TIRADORACING]

Did you buy an OEM hood? Mine is OEM....

[@lilianalizeth7934]

@@TIRADORACING no I got a aluminum hood bro

[@TIRADORACING]

Man I don’t have the same problem lol.

[@lilianalizeth7934]

Ok thanks for the help

[@SouthCrownCustoms]

Right on man!

[@jimwhit1637]

Did you end up cutting your fenders to allow your tires to travel inside the fender flares?

[@TIRADORACING]

Hey Jim, Yes I cut both the front and the rear and matched the cuts on the flares as well. My car is lowered on bc racing coil overs and now I’m running oem demon wheels on 315/40 tires all the way around.

[@jimwhit1637]

TIRADO RACING man your car looks great and I won’t to do something similar to my challenger. Since you cut the fender and the flare how did you attach he flare to the car?

[@n0bly_hades]

So do I need to cut my fenders if my car isn’t lowered? What if I put 275’s all round and put spacers would I still need to cut my fenders? Because I watched two other videos and they had to cut their car fenders in order to make it fit with the tires! I don’t know if I need to do it too because they had their car lowered.

[@TIRADORACING]

I’m not saying to do this I’m just saying what others have done. stock ride height does not need to cut the fenders. @whipswitwavy on Instagram and KZbin is stock height no cutting. 275 is the width of the tire not the sidewalk height, you could literally throw 335’s on there but it won’t make the tire taller. The second number is sidewall height. I run 315/40/18, a 40 sidewall is pretty tall*

[@jesseyramirez4197]

So I recently got the same bumber put on my 2012 challenger srt8 and I need the side marks by chance do u know where I can find them?

[@TIRADORACING]

I have no idea to be honest. You can check at your local dealership or online. Mine came with the widebody kit.

[@jesseyramirez4197]

I see thank you tho!

[@sstevenn]

i have a 2012 and i’m looking into swapping my grille do i have to swap the whole bumper or just grille?

[@TIRADORACING]

The entire bumper if you want the hellcat grille.

[@sstevenn]

@@TIRADORACING okay so say if i want to do a face lift to my car, will everything im trying to change on the front end have to be from the newer models?

[@TIRADORACING]

@mryoungman. Yes. Bumper, upper grille, lower grilles, side markers, headlights. I ground down a lot of the hellcat fascia for it to work with my older headlights.

[@TIRADORACING]

@@sstevenn correct! headlights from a 2015+ because their smaller, adapter wiring harness to make them work, bumper, grilles (upper and lower), and so on.

[@jasperchristensen2117]

Hey man! Any ideas on the specifications of the screws, nuts, and rivets? My kit did not arrive with hardware

[@TIRADORACING]

Man I have not a single clue. Just to verify, you purchased yours through vicrez? If you did purchase it through vicrez I would contact them directly.

[@jasperchristensen2117]

TIRADO RACING thank you!

[@TIRADORACING]

Good luck Jasper!

[@davekosiek9288]

Ha yeah just got my kit yesterday as well and came with zero hardware. But it came with a foam part to replace that plastic bumper you removed.

[@TIRADORACING]

Mine came with that foam too, I didn’t use it because weight reduction lol but just like I told the other guy I would contact them directly. Really weird they don’t have hardware with them

[@Kr3wLeo]

Hi did you end up getting new turn signal harness as my 2009 don’t fit the new wide body refector

[@TIRADORACING]

You need to get a new harness from the dealership then cut and solder the new ends onto your old harness.

[@Kr3wLeo]

@@TIRADORACING thanks also installing this kit myself :)... and also did you also end up having a big gap from the front bumper to the hood?

[@TIRADORACING]

That gap is from a seal you need to transfer. Your not the first person to say “there’s a gap”. You need to install a new weather strip seal on the front bumper

[@JayyBird93]

@@TIRADORACING did you need new weather stripping or were you able to use your old stuff?

[@TIRADORACING]

@@JayyBird93 my old strip was already torn bought a new one and replaced with new plastic rivets.

[@DonSodaRomero]

so i have the front bumper and side flare kit, i’ll be getting demon wheels on all 4 corners and going 305’s in back and 275’s in front. will i have fitment issue? the rim is 18 inch. (scat pack 392) 2015

[@TIRADORACING]

Idk where you got your demon wheels from, but here’s what I read. The oem demon wheels will NOT clear the 6 pot brembo brake calipers The demon front brake calipers are smaller and closer to the design of the 4 pot brembo brake calipers. I have a 2009 srt8 so I have 4 pot brembos and they fit just fine. Clearing the brembos is the only fitment issue with the oem demon wheels. Of course those wheels are 18x11 and if your running those just be aware you might have clearance issues with your fenders and you might have to cut.

[@welcometomychannelswelcome7261]

I have seen after parts are never going to fit correctly even 2015 and up. although through 2015 up has a clean lines. interior is different between 2008 and 2015

[@TIRADORACING]

Slightly misleading comment especially when myself and many others have installed the kit. I will be the first to admit other people have installed it better than I did. It is not impossible it just takes a little patience and work. Yes the interiors are different but the body kit has nothing to do with the interior, or should I say, the interior design does not affect how the flares sit on the car....

[@davidplummer7146]

how much did it cost to paint the bumper???

[@TIRADORACING]

I’m not sure, my paint was sponsored by a local shop.

[@jeffro2488]

The two small curved pieces in the kit. Where do they go?? I can not fivure this out to save my life lol. Please help man

Hey brother I have a couple of questions and I think you and your channel can be of great help . I have this bumper installed on my 2019 challenger and I have some gaps and I am not really happy with the outcome from the body shop . I have a gap on the grilled reinforcement . Is noticeable from close but not from far . I can show you pics if you have an email address or Facebook messenger . Maybe you can give me some guidance on how to go about fixing the gap .

@@TIRADORACING hey thank you for your quick response

[@alexandreminon1332]

Will you install the 2015 headlights so that it fits properly ?

[@TIRADORACING]

I plan on making the switch later, I actually made it fit which I’ll show in the next video. I wanted to sort of give options. The 2015 headlamps and adaptive harness aren’t cheap lol I shaved down parts of the bumper and where the headlamps mount and got it to fit. You can see pics on my Instagram. My Instagram is mostly up to date, my KZbin has been behind. But working on catching up 🤘🏽

[@PitchPerfectKill]

I'm looking into ordering a similar bumper kit for my 2014. I know these bumpers need the 2015+ side markers, do they plug into the stock wiring harness, or do I need a newer style? Your car is hella sick btw!

[@TIRADORACING]

You’ll need a newer harness and have to do some cutting and soldering to make it work. Thank you that means a lot! 😁😁😁

[@PitchPerfectKill]

@@TIRADORACING Right on, appreciate the info!

Did you ever end up getting side markers or finding where to get the newer harness? I’m in the same problem with mine.
