So far every email I trade with them has the same first sentence:

1) NO FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET, and
2) Save all labels, wrappers, plastic etc., from dealer prep and hold them for me.

No, the Hellcat people are shaming one another over those things. There is a common meme of a Hellcat with a banana duct taped to the spoiler corners, whenever someone posts a photo of their car with the protector still attached.

Like the wheel choice with that color, very classy looking. Good talking with you Steve via our PM. Thanks for sharing ordering info for it.
Enjoy.

Hard to go wrong with silver wheels on a dark color car.

Looks great, and should be lots of fun. Be careful.

I just noticed they sent me another email with a couple other photos.

Look at all the other Hellcats in the background. It's like the vintage Yenko Lot photo from the 1960's

Looking at the shipping order on the seat it appears that it left the factory on 03/30/22 which makes it six weeks from date of order to ship out. That's a new world record given that some people are still waiting for their cars after placing orders the moment the sales bank openied up in December 2021. The system seems to be that fickle about what parts they are missing and when and the resultant effect on the build process. This is why I specifically ordered it with just the red leather intetior, wheel choice, and the stereo as the only options (all the other stuff is mandatory as part of the 27Z Redeye package). Some guys have had their orders held up because of the shortage of certain welting colored floor mats they ordered! Not even starting with the widebody fender flair shortage due to manufacturing defects or the sunroof mechanism shortage.

Check out that shipping weight: 4,336 lbs. And the way I optioned it, this is the lightest weight version you can buy!

Enjoy.
It must be a Boomer thing. I just don't understand the current affinity for black wheels and those grey body colors. The colors reminds me of varying shades of grey sandable primer caught out in the rain.
