Hoods good, not crazy about the roof sorry

No reason to be sorry that's why I posted what you think we are Hellcat family and I wanted members opinions. All good now here she is

Looks a lot better without the black roof. Damn your sled is nice in white!

Thanks way better without the roof I'm much happier now.
Sherman Oaks you are not to far from me you going to spring fest or SRT track experience ?

Thanks I really not to sure on the roof it kind of makes it look narrow but I do love the hood black. Going to wait a few days if it still is bugging me I'm going to remove the roof

They say black makes you look thinner!

I missed the window to sign up for LX fest in Irvine but I do plan on going to Mopar fest April 11th @ Woodley Park. No Hellcat yet but hopefully by years end.

Now that's sharp!

Very clean glad I dropped the matte black hood and decide to wrap instead. I'm being told nothing but a PITA keeping a matte black hood looking good.

I finally got to get my White HC some Satin black love I originally wanted to do just the roof and antenna but after it was done it looked like it was missing something so I decided to go ahead and do the hood and glad I did now looks complete LMK what you think

Very nice!!! Right decision removing the roof. It was a bit too much like an inverted skunk. haha

Looks GREAT now!

I love the hood only black. Question for you Billet: I'll be getting mine in a month or so and I have the 3M samples from the installer today. Did you use the matte black or satin black 3M wrap. Which is closer to the factory look? Mine is Redline Red, in D1 status, no black hood. There isn't one in town that I can compare it to.

Satin black 3M 1080 matched the rear spoiler almost perfect. They did have the matte black and almost has a gray tint to it the installer also said the matte black can scratch with a finger nail and it will leave a mark.

Thanks man - I've got the 3M 1080 samples right in front of me and I see what he means with the matte black vice satin black. I just wanted to make sure my installer had the materials on hand. Now I know what to order.

I also wondered about doing the roof and trunk lid but I have to agree that just the hood done in satin looks the best. Your post has really been helpful to me. There just aren't a lot of Hellcats running around Albuquerque - and the ones that are do not have the black factory hood.

So before the satin hood I will have the 3M clear bra installed (entire hood, front fascia, mirrors and behind rear whee) and then the satin black hood wrap. I'm not too excited. LOL!

Sounds awesome Redline with a satin hood make sure you post up some pics I would like to see it when your done

Thoughts on the trunk ?

 

[Profezzor X]

It looks fantastic!!!

The black spoiler balances the black out without it being overdone. In fact, the white deck lid of your trunk draws the eye through the entire length of your car.

 

[frknfast]

Mine done as well. Pics at my bright white HC challenger thread.
Whites cars look great with the black hood.

 

[vipernm]

So I finally got my HC and here's some before and after pictures of the 3M 1080 wrap:

 

[Mr Bigblock]

Looks much better with roof gone

How much was your 3M Satin Black hood to wrap? Trying to see if my installer is in the right ballpark with me.
