i removed the plastic rivets with a razor blade. Push and wiggle between the plastic. Very easy. Next , to take off the old fascia, squirt some lubricant "WD 40 on interior of facia. place a plastic putty knife at the exterior crease. Push in putty knife at the hook area while pulling facia out. Putty knife pulls the hook down and facia easliy comes off.
@cjcharv YWelcome. A bit more helpfull tips...exhaust hanger brackets part number#4581723AB MSRP $12.00 and change from dealer. There are two left L and two right R for the dual stock exhaust rear resonators attached with 8mm X 1.250 bolt. There are also two hanger brackets in the center. These should be there.
NAPA Auto Parts has a generic isolater with OE fit and funtion Part # 35460 they are only $5.99 a piece. Mopar charges 25. Stock SRT8 duals on a SE look visscious!!!
Be careful with the corner rivets. As I was pulling from the wheel, I realized I forgot to remove the corner rivets and I broke the the corner square off on one corner which holds the heat shield and the fascia. It is obvious that they install this to the bumper cover before installing it to the car as no one could rivet the corner once the bumper cover is on. I used a side cutters to cut behind the rivets since you can't reuse them anyway. Looks like he didn't replace the corner rivets.
I noticed you thought you had the wrong plastic rivets. Those are the correct ones. Harbor freight sells the kit for 13.99. those stems pull , not push to fasten. I did this same mod to my 2010 Challenger SE.
I don't see myself changing out my fascia but love watching others do things tho their Challengers. I'm not the most confident mechanic, even though I work with a bunch of them, and love doing things on my own. Knowing that there are others out there gives me the confidence. Nice video and thanks for all the nice tips.
how much did you pay for the rear fascia?

The whole thing comes off easily with no damage to the car. A guy at the dealer told me that's how they do it.

2) I used a small electric saw to cut-off the center locks of the fascia.
