Anchorage Car Enthusiast Transforms 2016 Dodge Challenger

12/30/2020 By John Schwartz

Dodge ChallengerA client from here in Anchorage recently contacted the Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security team to inquire about an extensive audio system upgrade for his 2016 Dodge Challenger. This client is a real car enthusiast and wanted us to create something unique for his muscle car. As you can see from the photos, the stereo system modifications grew into an extensive project with custom lighting, an upholstery upgrade and a Lambo door kit.

Dodge Challenger Stereo Upgrade

The trunk upgrades give the client lots of bass and cosmetic enhancements.

This amazing project started with the stereo system upgrade. We installed an Android-based Linkswell TA-DGCC08-4RR-1 touchscreen radio in place of the factory 8.4-inch display. This new radio adds Apple and Android smartphone integration along with a preamp output to send audio to the amplifiers we’d be mounting in the trunk.

To ensure that the system sounds great, we replaced the speakers in the doors with a set of Morel Tempo Ultra 602 components and upgraded the rear speakers with Tempo Integra 602 coaxial drivers. These new speakers are powered by a Pioneer GM-D8704 amplifier that can produce 100 watts per channel.

The client wanted the audio upgrade to have an impressive subwoofer system. Our fabrication team created a custom vented subwoofer enclosure with a plexiglass rear panel to serve as a home for a pair of DD Audio Redline 700-Series 712 D4 12-inch subwoofers. These amazing subs are rated to handle 600 watts continuous and 1,200 watts peak power. We paired them with a DD Audio M4 monoblock amplifier to ensure the bass would be crystal clear, even when the volume was cranked.

The amplifiers are mounted on the floor of the Challenger on a custom-built panel, and our team created a pair of vinyl-wrapped panels to conceal the amplifiers and trim around the subwoofer enclosure. We added blue LED lighting to the enclosure’s interior and on the trunk lid so the system would look awesome at night.

Custom Lighting and Interior Upgrades

The client was thrilled with the audio system. After seeing how we executed the stereo upgrade, he decided that he wanted us to do more work on the car. This second round of upgrades began with the installation of a Katzkin leather upholstery upgrade in Cobalt Blue. We had the Mopar Shaker logo embroidered in the headrest covers for a little extra flair.

We removed the headliner and A-pillar trim pieces and wrapped them in blue UltraSuede. Four blue Rigid Industries LED light pods were added to the roof panel before we reinstalled it in the vehicle. We disassembled the door trim pieces so we could wrap the center insert in the same blue material.

Exterior Lighting and Door Hinge Project

The last step was to remove the stock door hinges and replace them with a Lamborghini-style door hinge kit. This installation involved removing the front grille and fenders from the car to secure the hinges to the chassis properly. Thankfully, the kit uses all the original hardware locations. Should the client want the doors returned to original, no cutting or modifications are required.

While we had the fenders off, we completed the exterior lighting upgrade. We added eight more Rigid Industries blue rock lights under the car, a set of Oracle LED wheel rings to the front and rear wheels and a set of the Oracle LED Halo rings for the headlights. Of course, all the wiring for the lighting is protected from the elements and secured so that it won’t be damaged when the vehicle is being driven.

Anchorage’s Vehicle Upgrade Experts

The upgrades on this Dodge Challenger look amazing, and the audio system sounds crystal clear. The client was thrilled with our combination of attention to detail and creativity in executing his vision. Before he left with the car, we showed him how to use the new radio and control all the accessory lighting.

Perfectionist Offers Leather Upgrades for our Anchorage Clients

03/25/2017 By John Schwartz

Leather UpgradesPerfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage offers Katzkins leather upgrades for cars, trucks and SUVs.

When you go to buy a new vehicle, did you notice that leather seating often means buying thousands of dollars in options that you may not want? It can also put the vehicle at a price that is out of your budget. Fortunately, we have you covered.

Leather Upgrades Don’t Have to Cost a Fortune

Now that you know you can have the vehicle you have always wanted and add leather, why drive a vehicle with a cloth interior? We all know how leather feels to the touch. The scent alone is inviting. When you factor in how long a leather interior will last when cared for properly, it is a logical investment.

More Color Options and Styles

Leather UpgradesWhen you look at the options for leather on many vehicles, they are often limited to a single color. What if we told you that Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security could offer you multiple colors, not just one? To make it even more appealing, we often have two-tone packages for the seating to make whatever you drive to look more exotic. For some vehicles, we even have contrasting stitching or piping to give you an even more unusual look.

Improve the Resale Value

At some point, it is going to be time to sell your ride and move on to something new. All things being equal, a vehicle with leather interior will be worth more money than something done in cloth – and you will likely find it sells faster as well.

If Car Dealers Trust Us, So Can You

Car dealers all around Anchorage know that offering leather upgrade packages to their clients will help them sell more vehicles. Whom do they call? Why, us, of course. If they can trust us with their valued customers, you can trust with your vehicle.

Add Heated Seats as the Final Touch

Leather UpgradesWhile we are installing your leather interior upgrade, ask us about adding heated seats to your vehicle. If you have ever been in a vehicle that has these, you already know they are wonderful. The heat not only warms your body, but also soothes your back and relaxes your muscles.
