Default Farewell Ram. Hello Charger :D

Well i had to do it. I loved my ram. the 5.7 v8 hemi just loved to chug down my gas too much and i didnt really need a work truck. So here i am with a v6 charger. The 2011 model is amazing. Not as much kick as the truck but hey im not complaining with way better gas mileage and possibly style haha. The rear tail lights are a big improvement from the 2010 model and below in my opinion.

It didnt come with a spoiler or anything which i wanted. I know you can buy them for $300 ish but how hard is the install? anyone tried it? Well hello all, the name is Mc. i'm in the US Marines and I like to come in here every now and then and fumble around. look forward to talking to yall

I installed spoilers on a couple 08's and it was a breeze.

The spoilers come with the hardware to bolt on. Just drill the holes and bolt on. All you have to do is get a large piece of cardboard or paper to make a template for the holes. Measure to center, then do the drop. Took all of 30 minutes to do each one good.

The only thing I would recommend is to buy the spoiler unpainted and have it done locally. I ordered the ones I did painted and they must have done 1 coat paint and clear and less than 3 years later both spoilers are peeling and need repainted. This will just ensure quality for your new ride.

Last recommendation. The hardware that came with the ones I ordered were regular nuts and bolts. I added a little loctite and got lock washers to make sure they wouldn't vibrate loose over time. To date, other than them peeling, they are tight and looking good.

I just made the move from a Ram to a Charger too.... picked up the Blacktop edition, I'm loving it! Mine already had a spoiler on it, but I'd think they wouldn't charge you too much to put one on at the dealership. It's only $255 for the part, and I can't see it taking more than 1/2 hour for them to install it.
