Nice find. I am also very interested into having a SRT front bumper conversion and only thing i was finding were 1k-2k prices on it. I'll subscribe to this thread because i'm interested into how it will look.

great info, just posted to subscribe. As long as fit and finish is as good as OEM that thats good. I've had non-oem replacements on past cars that were not quite 100% in terms of lining up and bolts holes etc.

I got the fascia Friday, all the parts are in from the other after market shops. The fascia came wrapped in a box and inside the box was over 150 feet of bubble wrap. No kidding, my grandkids are going to have a blast. So far the product looks great. Paint matches perfectly. Sticker on the fascia showed the PX8 paint code used. Clear coat looks as good as when I picked up the Daytona. Will install the bumper tomorrow but so far everything, upper/lower grille, fog lights all snap in place like it was an OEM product.

Does the plastic bumper absorber go on before you put the grill into bumper?

Do not know what that is. The upper and lower grille snapped in place the same as when I swapped out the dull road and track upper grille and put in the gloss black blacktop grille. (I did that over a year ago and do not remember a bumper absorber. None of the online YouTube bumper removal instructions show any absorber that I know of.

The absorber is part #4 on the Mac Haik site for reference. It goes around the impact bar.

Ok, I see it now, from what I remember the last time I had the bumper off that piece is already on the front. The fascia/bumper comes off and #4 and #5 are attached to the frame. I will find out this afternoon. Hope I do not need another part. LOL When I put the gloss blacktop grille insert in, the bumper just came off, I pulled out the old insert and installed the new. Replaced bumper. Did not even notice an absorber.

It is tucked in front of grill I believe on the R/T Bumpers. I just test fit a Srt front end on my car sat and it didn't fit w/absorber put on after the grill.

No absorber on my car. Must have pitched it or my Daytona did not have one. Here are the Pics of the final install. Everything went on like it was an OEM product. No problems with anything lining up. I am having a hard time getting the fog light bezels to snap in place though. However, it is operator error, because I had the same problem with my Daytona fog light bezels after I painted them pitch black. Is there a trick to get these suckers to go in right? LOL

I put on my Scat Pack 4 emblem temporarily in one of the pics to see what it would look like. Still debating, may just leave it without any emblems.

Tks, No clear bra, I have just over 20,000 miles and no chips on the old one.

Figured out the Fog Light Bezels, the tabs on the bezels were bent in during shipping and all I had to do was pull them out a bit and snap they fit perfect.

Thats good to hear the paint has been gotten better, the 2011 PX8 is horrible
Agree. Yeah the Tungsten Metallic on my RT Max is not so good. Front end is getting chipped up with only 25k on her. Noticed it right away after getting the car that the paint/clear coat seemed thin. Well, much thinner then my Wife's Toyota Highlander anyway.

looks great man! I too would have a hard time between emblem vs no emblem. Thanks for the info!
