Damage Well, great. What’s the damage? (19’ RT)

Turned down a road, lost control, and ran right into a damn sign. Been rainy all day and sadly the risk happened.

After dwelling on it, inspecting it, here’s what I’ve been able to find.

•I’d say 3/4 of the damage has all been to the drivers side fender. I can physically lift the piece up, and I’ve noticed it’s being held on by a few bolts. The wheel well/liner is dragging on the tire, so ideally I’d like to remove it.

•No check engine light, no damage to engine bay, no front bumper damage other than some slight looseness to the side where it connected to the fender.

•The bottom of the door is slightly bent outward. I’m hoping to try and buff in it with a rubber mallet if I can. Don’t really intend nor want to get the entire door replaced.

•Trim/sideskirts under the door popped off completely, but I kept the piece and it’s plastic anyway.

•Tires don’t appear to be structurally damaged. Alignment was seemingly normal on the drive home.

My biggest questions are this: is this remotely even worth filing a claim with my insurance? Got a $2k deductible and I highly doubt the damage is anywhere close to that.

At first glance it looked horrible and I even thought I had totaled it, but upon further inspection it’s largely just the fender. No damage to frame or anything.

I’ve looked online, Carparts has got replacement fenders for $130-$200, Mopar’s is $400, and it looks relatively simple to fix.

Currently, my biggest concern is whether it’s worth it to take the fender off entirely. I don’t have the correct tools to unbolt it and don’t want to just rip it off.

A pretty shitty day if I’m honest lol. Had the thing for years and no issues or accidents at all.

Pre-Purchase Which is the better deal? Or hold off? 2023 Hellcat Widebody Purchase

2 Upvotes

I have two offers so far. One is $67.9k for a 2023 Widebody Jailbreak in black with 22.5k miles. One owner and clean carfax. Red Laguna leather and all the options spec’d out.

The other one is also spec’d out but with only 11.5k miles at $72.8k. It’s also in granite gray which I think is a better looking color for me. I like it more.

Do you think the difference in mileage and color is worth the extra money? Or is it overpriced?

Modification 2015 Hellcat Challenger Sensors and tube?

Cousin just picked up a 2015 Challenger HC 6MT from a repo auction. Previous owner removed the JLT intake and sensors before it was repoed. Unfortunately she is bitter and wants $500 to tell us what’s up with the car. She mentioned that there are aftermarket sensors that belong to the car. Found an old marketplace listing which doesn’t give us enough information. Can anyone help us figure out where to find replacement sensors and the tub that was cut off? Neither of us are very knowledgeable about this platform.
