    This is a steal. $6.99 delivered and it comes with 2 sq. feet of material, a knife, roller, and even a bag of degreaser!

    The wife took the Q man to Great Grandma's, so we are using the kitchen sink to degrease and clean today!

    I started on the underside for 2 reasons. One it would be slippery to do the top side first, and two you won't see this side, so a good side to start on for practice. I started with the roller, but ended up using my fingers. Very easy to work with and I did not need a heat gun.

    It made a HUGE difference. Best 7 bucks I have spent on mods so far.

    Amazing how Chrysler didn't do that in the first place.

    Don't get me started!

    Just one of many, especially on the early models. Things I have done, which should have been stock on a car that was spendy in the first place.

    1) Hood Shocks
    2) Cabin Air filter
    3) Functional hood scoops

    and the list goes on...

    Were the hood shocks not holding up the hood anymore?

    The 2008-2009 had a front hood prop, no shocks.

    Oh that's right! You get the shocks installed pretty easily?

    Super easy. The knobs for the tops are already there and the holes for the bottom screw are there also. 5 minutes install if that.
