The final word on Dodge splitter guards: Remove them!

Friend of Hooniverse Brian Makse was just at the launch event for Dodge’s new widebody Charger Hellcat. While there, he produced a video highlighting the design details of the car. He grabbed Mark Trostle to walk him through the bits and pieces that make the look of the new widebody sedan special. Mark is the head of design for Dodge and SRT. And he has some very clear thoughts on the yellow splitter guards people leave attached to their cars.

If you want to jump right to what Mark has to say on the matter, skip to the ten minute mark in the video above.

    The people that leave the splitter guards attached are the same people that leave the factory protective film on their phones and other devices.

      Or how people used to leave tags/stickers on their hats. (Hopefully that’s a trend that has long since passed. I never cared much for fads nor fashion, but my interest has waned even more with age.)

      What’s next– people buying cars with the shipping wrap still attached?

        I’ve heard of some cars bought for collection purposes where the dealer is instructed to not touch anything and leave all that stuff on.

    I don’t actually hate the splitter guard thing. More importantly, you’d think that FCA, being in the business of liking money, and wanting more, would just make something a little more permanent a factory option, and charge people for it.

    Do Not take the Splitter Guards off… here’s what it did to my Scatpack when I listened to everyone saying to remove them: https://youtu.be/dl7Tg8JRBsM
