    So is there now an extra gauge that shows you if radar is going off? Where did you mount the detector?

    Each one of the red LEDs tells you when it is going off. One is for the front, the other for the rear.

    It's really nice to look at those two photos together.. .and then to realize that these are the same car makes me begin to see what you've done to it! Lots of mods totally change the appearance.

    Here are the steps to remove your dash panel:

    Pry the center console from the dash of the Challenger. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the top seam around the center console and the dash. Gently pry the center bezel out from the dash until it is slightly ajar then move the flathead down the seam until the entire perimeter of the center console is ajar. Pull the center dash off by hand by placing you hands at the top and bottom and pulling out gently. Locate the four screws along the top of the exposed center of the dash, they secure the dash to the center. Unscrew the four screws and place them in the center cup holder so they are not lost.

    Open the driver's side door and locate the four screws that run along the top of the side of the dash. Unscrew the screws with a Philips head screwdriver and pocket the screws. Go to the passenger side and open the door. Locate the four screws that run along that top side and unscrew them with a Philips head screwdriver. Pocket those screws as well.

    Go to the driver's side, open the door, and insert a flathead screwdriver into the dash seam. gently pry up along the dash and work you way along the seam until you get all the way over to the passenger side. When the entire dash bezel is standing slightly up then pull it off with your hands. Again, be gentle as one of the pegs may be stuck and if you pull on it the plastic peg will break off.
