Default The new Red Demon has arrived! 2017 Z

I've had it for a couple days now and even managed to drive it once! I have a lot of plans but for now I'm just trying to get it fully assembled and a catch can installed. Tint and a ceramic coating are scheduled and I have a borla xpipe on the way. Eventually I'll end up with pulley, ported everything and a tune but I'm going to avoid that until the warranty expires-ish.

No side skirts? I thought the 2017 came standard with the 3/4 ones. Did you take them off after delivery?

Looks great. I see you added the nicer splitter too. I would like to do that but the poverty splitter will stay so I can get into my driveway lol.

Nice car. You'll have to change the name when the new Demons come out.

Thanks everyone! I have the side skirts, just need some help installing them so they are off for now. I asked for no PDI and they obliged, everything was in the trunk including the scrape guard when I got it, still sore from installing everything . I purchased an ACS kit, at about half the cost it was a no brainer and I don't mind installing it myself. My buddy is getting my stock splitter/skirts for his stingray convertible so nothing is going to waste.

What kind of system (if any) did you use to soap your car down with?
That's a heck of a spread for soap solution. I wouldn't mind checking that system out.

Thanks

I bought a cheap electric pressure washer and a foam "cannon" from amazon to attach to it. I use chemical guys Mr. Pink soap to get the suds. The whole setup was sub $100 and it lathers the car up pretty good. You can also get foam guns that attach to your hose and are almost as good for about $40 on amazon, I used one for years and was happy.

Gracias! So that whole demon thing was pure coincidence, I just pulled it out of thin air without realizing the Dodge Demon was just announced. Probably should have used a different descriptive word .

Car looks sweet and nasty bro. Question why do you like the green over the pink foam? Trying to understand all of them and which is the best to use. Thanks

Congrats, man! Welcome to the party!
