Installed the brake air deflectors today. With photos...and some spelling tips
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. Last edited by njsteve; 06-20-2022 at 03:06 AM.

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.
