Sorry if this is a repeat question but I haven't been able to find anything the a search.

I read an article that was written mid 2020 that said that if you ordered Brass Monkey wheels, the Hellcat badging would match with a bronze color. Is that still true in 2021? Does anyone have this option that would be willing to show me some pictures of the emblems? My order is for F8 green but any color car pictures would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

My 2021 did not have brass badges. I was a little dissapointed, but I never asked about it when I ordered the car. It would have been a nice extra touch.

99.44% brass badges are not a thing. That might have been a dealer installed deal where the writer got the car from? No HC badges were ever brass to match the wheels.

Still not buying it..YET. I have yet to see anyone here or the other HC board posting or talking about it or posted a pic of it as a legit option. If I missed it, point me to where if so .
Those ebay emblems are made by the seller not Mopar. Using the mopar PN because thats the legit pn of the silver. badges. Ive bought Honda type R badges that were bootleg from China or Korea with Honda PNs stamped on them. Easy to fake.

The seller is Steve White Dodge out of North Carolina... not some random eBay person. And yes, the badges were done differently for a few years.

For 2020, all cars with the Brass Monkey wheel package will also get special badging. Exterior badges will be finished in a special dark black and bronze color. For all models, the Brass Monkey package will be available for order at $1,095. We think the look they bring is so great that it’s worth the price of entry.

If you do choose the Brass Monkey wheel option for either package, all of the exterior badging will be finished in a Black/Dark Bronze finish. The Brass Monkey wheel package has a U.S. Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $1,095.

Just saying...

Seems like we're missing any actual evidence of a sold car that came with the bronze badges
There werent a ton of 2020 cars that got the Brass Monkey's as they pulled it very early in the year. Pretty sure it wasnt even an option for 2021. There are other cars that got this in the past, as well as other badges that weren't black by default.

I'm curious, as well. I'm about to order a widebody hellcat in F8 with the Brass Monkey "appearance" package because the original devils rims are no longer an available option. For anyone interested, the Dodge build tool does, in fact, show the badges change color when you toggle brass monkey wheels.

I've ordered 2 HC, a 2021 Octane Red redeye widebody with the brass monkey package that hasn't shown up yet, but it should have brass badges that match the wheels. The 2021 base Hellcat I ordered did in fact come with brass badges that match the wheels.

If you ordered the brass monkey package and don't have brass badges, the factory screwed up.

I ordered a 2021 Hellcat Charger, not a Red Eye, with the brass monkey wheels and the badges came in bronze. Just picked it up on Friday
Maybe that's the key. The Bronze badging does not come with a "Red Eye", so they figure people would rather have the silver badge with a red eye over a bronze badge without the red eye.

Just speculating. I don't know.

I got curious and took a look at the website, it looks like the badges just change color on the body because it's a generic image. The listed options seem to confirm that the brass badges aren't on Redeye models, they get the chrome badges no matter what.
