Thank you for the offer but that will not necessary but May take you up on it if that works for you… maybe I should have prefaced by saying that I did reach out to my local dealer and they said NO…. So the reason for my question….Why don't you give me the name and phone number of a few local dealerships and I'll call them for you and ask.🤦♂️
They are easy to install, and in reality you are better off doing it yourself because you will do all the correct steps and not cut corners. Yes in the end they will look the same but most dealers not all will not paint the edges of the holes and protect the car from all the metal shavings from drilling the holes.
If you want some pictures of an install let me know.

Sorry, too far for my help.
I would do it for you if you were local to me.

I had metal shavings in my air filter when I picked up my brand new car from the dealership so clearly dodge upfitters don’t do it quite right either.

Damn, I wish I'd thought of that one.Why don't you give me the name and phone number of a few local dealerships and I'll call them for you and ask.
None of our local dealerships would install the Mopar hood pins on our '21 Hellcat because they didn't want to be held liable for any damages they may do. We ended up taking it to a local performance shop that did body work and they did an amazing job. Maybe you can wait until Dodge releases the list of power broker dealerships and take it to one of them so it will be covered by the warranty.
There is not much to warranty.
Hit up #dodgecares and have them get your dealership in line. Any dealership should be willing to put these on.

It goes under being covered under the warranty because a Dodge dealerships installed them. The power broker dealerships will be dealerships with better trained technicians than the standard technicians at other dealerships. The dealerships around here would not install them because they didn't want to be responsible for damaging the hood.
Most Dealerships will not install them because they are a service/maintenance/repair facility. Not a body shop or custom shop. Try to get a dealership to install stripes on the car. Will not do it. If you find a dealership that has it's own body shop then there is a chance. From my experience, Dodge dealerships do not have a separate body shop like Mercedes, Infinity or BMW. All work is sent out after approved by Corporate.

There's nothing to warranty. The factory isn't going to warranty the hood if it's damaged during install and the hood pins have no moving parts that would fail and need to be replaced.
Still has zero to do with bodywork. Power brokers will not be trained in bodywork. I think you may have misunderstood what Power Brokers will be. Techs dont do bodywork and the body shop at the dealer wont be trained any better just because the techs were trained to do the hp upgrades.
There certainly are Dodge dealers that have separate body shops on site.
Agree, I should have said Most do not. Here in East Tennessee all the work is sent out.
