How do you install mirror covers? Easy as 1, 2, 3. The ambient air temperature needs to be 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) or above for installation. This temperature will provide the best adhesion for the adhesive. When you receive your mirror covers look to see if there is a list of items that should be enclosed. Usually you will have a cleaner, sometimes an adhesive promoter, and the covers. If the cleaner is not there or if you prefer you can use straight rubbing alcohol to clean the outside surface of your mirrors. You just want to make sure there is no oil, wax, bugs, or grime that might prevent the adhesive from sticking. Before you remove the adhesive backing, be sure to test fit the covers. I can never say that enough, always test fit any type of aftermarket accessory. Test fitting does 2 things for you: 1. It gets you more familiar with the best way to put the cover on. 2. Test fitting lets you see how they will look before you install them. Most times something can not be returned after it has been installed because it can not be resold. When the test fit is complete, remove the adhesive backing, install the cover and hold firmly in place applying consistent pressure. I like to use a towel and wipe firmly from the center to the edges to remove any air bubbles that might be trapped under the adhesive. Polish your mirror covers up, stand back, and admire. I bet you'll be quiet impressed with yourself.

Here's some more interesting notes regarding chrome mirror covers or chrome mirror overlays:

What are they? They are a cover that is placed over the front side of your existing car, truck, or SUV exterior rear view mirrors. Most mirror covers are made from an ABS composite material through an injection molding process and chrome plated. Some manufacturers have developed special branded products that are specific to that vendor such as 6061 T6 billet aluminum by Action Artistry.

Why would you want mirror covers or mirror overlays? Most people get a set because they like the look and style it adds to their vehicle. It's a way to give your car, truck, or SUV a little bit of a custom look without investing a lot of time or cash. It's a way to stand out from the crowd just a bit. If your one of those people who can never remember where you park and have been known to stand outside someone else's truck (it looks just like yours), pushing the little door unlock button, and thinking what's going on? A set of mirror covers can save that embarrassing moment when the real owner has to ask you to move so they can get in their truck. Perhaps there was a small incident with a drive up window or one of those pesky concrete post, you know, the really bright yellow ones. If you have a scratch or crack in your existing mirror, a set of covers is a great way to make that go away. You won't be reminded that you are a bad driver every time you walk up to your vehicle and your insurance company will never have to know.

Who makes them? Putco, Auto Ventshade, and Action Artistry are some of the most popular manufacturers. GM, Ford, Mopar, and Toyota all make mirror covers or overlays if you want to stay with an OE product.

Where can you get mirror covers? Most any automotive aftermarket accessory store like Cabelas or Jegs should have them on the shelf. You can order them on-line from hundreds of etailers.

Are mirror covers available for my vehicle? Probably. To find out, just search for them on-line. Search for Chevy HHR chrome mirror covers or Dodge Ram chrome mirror covers or whatever vehicle you have and chrome mirror covers.

What do I need to know before I get ready to purchase a set? You need to know the year, make, and model of your vehicle. If there are any special options on your exterior rear view mirrors it would be good to have that knowledge. My vehicle has exterior accent lights in the bottom of the mirrors that come on when the engine is off and you shut the doors. They stay on for about a minute then shut off. Turn signals are option available on exterior mirrors. Before you make a purchase give your mirrors a once over and become familiar with them and you won't have any problems.

There are many aftermarket automotive accessories that install with adhesive like door handle covers, rocker panel covers, head light and tail light trim rings and covers, and brake light covers. This installation process works for all of them. So go crazy and customize your ride. Here's an interesting article with pictures on a Ford F150 we put chrome accessories on.

Dodge Challenger - Third generation (2008-present)

Dodge Challenger - Third generation (2008-present)

On December 3, 2007, Chrysler started taking deposits for the third-generation Dodge Challenger which debuted on February 6, 2008 simultaneously at the Chicago Auto Show[9] and Philadelphia International Auto Show. Listing at US$40,095, the new version is a 2-door coupe which shares common design elements with the first generation Challenger, despite being significantly longer and taller. The chassis is a modified (shortened wheelbase) version of the LX platform that underpins the 2006-Current Dodge Charger, 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum, and the 2005-Current Chrysler 300. All 2008 models were SRT8s and equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi and a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission, which outperforms the legendary 1970 Hemi Challenger.[10] The entire 2008 run of 6,400 cars were pre-sold (many of which for above MSRP), and production commenced on May 8, 2008. Chrysler Canada is offering the Canada 500 and Chrysler of Mexico is offering only 100 of this car for that country with a 6.1 liter engine and 425 brake horsepower (317 kW) (SAE); the version is SRT/8. Chrysler auctioned off two 2008 SRT8 for charity with car #1 going for $400,000.00 to benefit the notMYkid non-profit organization, and a "B5" Blue #43 car fetching a winning bid of $228,143.43 with the proceeds going to Victory Junction Gang Camp.[11] Many of the "first delivery" Challengers were either pre-sold, or sold for above MSRP (as is often the case with a highly anticipated vehicle launch).

At the 2008 New York Auto Show, Chrysler debuted the full Dodge Challenger line for 2009, with three different trims (SE, R/T, and SRT8) to choose from:

2010 models

For 2010 models, the vehicle will cost $515 to $1,010 higher than 2009 cars.[12]The color, HEMI Orange, has been dropped for the 2010 model year. Two new color schemes will be available later for the 2010 model year including the Plum Crazy and Detonator Yellow.[13]

SE

2009 Dodge Challenger SE

The base model Challenger is powered by a 3.5 L (214 cu in) [14] SOHC V6 producing 250 brake horsepower (190 kW) (SAE) and 250 lb·ft (339 N·m) torque which was coupled to a 4-speed automatic transmission for the first half of 2009, then was changed to have a 5 speed automatic transmission standard equipment for the second half of the 2009 model year and on.[15] Several different exterior colors, and either cloth or leather interiors are available. Standard features include air conditioning; power windows, locks, and mirrors; cruise control; and 17-inch (430 mm) aluminum wheels. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, sunroof, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and a premium audio system are available as options, as are ABS, and stability and traction control.[16] The Canadian market also sports the SXT trim, similar to the SE, however is even more generous in terms of standard features. Some of these features being ESP, an alarm system, and 18-inch (460 mm) wheels.

Rallye Package

New for 2009 is the Rallye Package for the SE model. Mechanical changes include the 5-speed Autostick automatic transimission that is also found the R/T and the SRT-8 siblings. The new transmission is designed for more aggressive launches when accelerating, and ratioed for top-end speeds which also relaxes the engine. Visual improvements are also another aspect in the Rallye Package. The Challenger SE Rallye Package features design cues including black with red lining dual body stripes on the hood and the trunk, chromed ‘FUEL’ door, deck lid spoiler, 18-inch aluminum wheels and Micro Carbon in the interior accents.

R/T

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

The mid-level Challenger is powered by a 5.7 L (345 cu in) HEMI V8 coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission or a Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission. On cars equipped with the automatic transmission, the engine features the Multi-Displacement System and produces 372 brake horsepower (277 kW) (SAE) and 398 lb·ft (540 N·m) torque[15]. With the 6-speed manual transmission, the Multi-Displacement System option is deleted and the engine produces 376 brake horsepower (280 kW) (SAE) and 404 lb·ft (548 N·m) torque[15]. The final drive ratio is 3.06:1 on cars with the automatic transmission, 3.73:1 on cars with the 6-speed manual and 18-inch (460 mm) wheels or 3.92:1 with the 6-speed manual and optional 20-inch (510 mm) wheels. Also available on R/T is the "Track Pak" option group, which includes the Tremec manual transmission, a limited slip differential and self-leveling rear shock absorbers.

R/T Classic

The brochure of the 2009 Challenger shows a "classic" version of the Dodge Challenger R/T, with the 5.7 L (345 cu in) HEMI, and retro aspects such as script "Challenger" badges on the front panels and black "R/T" stripes. According to a Chrysler press relase from 01/16/09 it will come with a six-speed-manual transmission (including a pistol-grip-shifter) as standard. It will be available in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Bright Silver Metallic, Stone White and in three "heritage" colors: HEMI-Orange, TorRed and B5 Blue. Prices start at $34,005 (including destination) and production will start in February 2009.

SRT8

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8

The 2009 SRT8, while still equipped with the 6.1L Hemi V8, is virtually identical to its 2008 counterpart, with the main difference being the choice of either a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. Standard features include Brembo brakes, a sport suspension, bi-xenon headlamps, heated leather sport seats, keyless go, Sirius satellite radio, and 20-inch (510 mm) forged aluminum wheels in addition to most amenities offered on the lower R/T and SE models such as air conditioning and cruise control.[16] In addition, the 2009 will have a true "limited slip" differential.[17] A "Spring Special" SRT8 Challenger was also offered in B5 Blue, but thanks to rolling plant shutdowns, just over 250 Spring Special Challengers were built before the end of the 2009 model year. For 2010, SRT8 models add Detonator Yellow as an available color (at extra cost), and only with the optional "Special Edition Group". Yellow Challengers will only be built for a limited time (October/November 2009). A retro color, Plum Crazy Pearl, is scheduled to be available during Spring 2010 production, perhaps as the new color, offered exclusively in the "Spring Special" package.

Super Stock Concept

The Super Stock Concept was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of 392 HEMI engine, as well as showcase Mopar's new available 392 (6.4L) HEMI crate engine. The body was based on the 2006 Dodge Challenger Concept. The vehicle was unveiled at SEMA show.[18]

SRT10 Concept

A concept vehicle using Dodge Viper SRT-10 engine and Bilstein shocks appeared in 2008 SEMA show.[19]

Drag Race Package

A race model designed for NHRA competition, based on Dodge challenger dva SRT-8. The car is 1,000 pounds (454 kg) lighter than the street vehicle by eliminating major production components and systems. To accentuate the weight savings, they also feature added composite, polycarbonate and lightweight components designed for drag racing that will be part of the new Package Car program. The engine was repositioned to improve driveline angle and weight distribution. The 116-inch (2,900 mm) wheelbase was shortened by ? inch. They also feature a front cradle with bolt-in crossmember and solid engine mounts.

At least 50 Challenger Drag Race Package Cars are being built to meet NHRA requirements. As of 9/28/2009 #24 the car owned by David Wertman and New Hemi Racing has just been completed. Engine options include 6.1L HEMI, 5.7-L HEMI, 5.9L Magnum Wedge. Manual or automatic transmissions are available, although to date only the 6.1 cars have been produced. "Big Daddy" Don Garlits bought the first drag race package car and plans to race it in NHRA competition. [20] The prototype cars shown at SEMA were built by MPR Racing of Michigan, they continue to modify the production cars as delivered from Mopar , currently the "Drag-Pak" cars running in legal A/SA trim are running around the 9.9-10.2 mark at 130-140 mph in the quarter mile.

Nerf Bar brackets?

I have a 2004 Ram Quad Cab and I was recently given a set of used OEM chrome nerf bars. The brackets are attached, but there are certain bolts and very specific nuts to mount them. They don't mount to the frame - they mount to the body and thats where the particular nuts/bolts come in. I can't find them anywhere and Mopar won't sell them alone. So basically what I'm looking at is buying a set of bolts for $500 or getting an aftermarket set of steps. Does anyone know where I can find a solution? Does anyone know of an aftermarket brand that sells just the brackets and bolts? Any other ideas other than welding or .........duct tape?

I know little about truck accessories, but I do know what nerf bars are. Most chrome examples I've seen up close (not many) were attached to the frame of the truck. Mounting them to the body sounds OK, if you don't need to drill ANY new holes. The idea of drilling into the truck's sheet metal in any way, would make me rethink the use of those bars. If you drill the holes, you will cut through the galvanizing of the body panels, and rust will start there, eventually.

Can the bars' brackets be modified to mount them in another way? A metal shop could perhaps make you new brackets (or weld on to your existing brackets), and you could perhaps choose a new mounting location that does not require "special" bolts at all...and permit you to use more standard fasteners. I worked in such a shop, and made all sorts of weird brackets for people. We could even make them from stainless, or send the steel ones out to be powdercoated for durability.

You don't say what the special bolts do, or what makes them so special, but you might try McMaster-Carr. They have just about any fastener you'd ever want. If, however, these bolts are special in that they specifically fit the body of the truck, than you might be out of luck.

Honestly, if it's that much of a headache to find an easy alternative to those unattainable mounting bolts, I'd say scrap the bars, and get a new set that mounts the way you want them to, and come with the required hardware.

Good luck with your search.
