2022 Heck-Kitty Redeye

My son and I went to the local cruise night on Saturday. He brought his Camaro and I brought the Heckitty. I saw several people walk by the car and then tilt their heads and come back and look again. It was the stripes! It seems that at various light angles, those burgundy stripes completely disappear and then if you hit the right angle, they pop back out at you. It's like one of those 3D stickers from the 1970's. I had a lot of positive responses. Just one negative vote from some old crabby guy. (older than me). It was funny - his wife told him to shut up and keep walking. Apparently she liked them. LOL

Or as Dodge calles them "AIR DEFLCETORS". Ugh.

These come in a package in the trunk. Most likely left off due to the fact that they would interfere with chassis tiedowns during shipment.

Pretty straightforward once you get the car on stands and take the front wheels off. The only deviation from the instructions I suggest is that you install them about an inch and a half from the bump on the arm and not 3/4 of an inch. If you try to do the 3/4 of an inch route, you will break the "DEFLCETOR" when you tighten it down because the arm curves slightly due to a thickening of the metal in that area.

Goes rather smoothly as long as you have that special Snap-On 10mm deflcetor wrench available.

And I got some photos of the factory installed oil filter because there is an ongoing debate over what filter these come iwth. Some people think they should have the SRT whote cannister filter but as you can see, it's the regular old "899" filter on a 2022 Redeye engine.

Interesting factory stenciling says "FACTORY INSTALLED" on the 04884899AC filter. Also interesting to see that it's a 2015 filter from the copyright printing.
