My 2012 Ram R/T

Added the OEM Mopar body kit that's not exactly made for RCSB's
For a regular cab truck you need a quad cab kit...NOT the crew cab kit.
I had to cut down the front part of the 2 piece side skirt where it overlaps the rear part. After studying pics of SEMA trucks closely I could see the seam there so once I got the kit in my hands it was easy to figure out how they made them fit. I had to shorten one of the hidden mounting brackets but those were the only 2 mods necessary to make it fit.
I made a straight edge out of a piece of .050 aluminum, marked where I wanted it cut and just used a razor knife to slice through it. I sanded that cut edge smooth and taped it off about 1/16" from the cut and sprayed it with Dupli Color paint for now. You really can't tell that anything was ever done to the kit. Overall I'm super happy with how it came out.
Now for the good stuff...pics:
You can see the cut line in the center of the door in this pic.

Diablosport and Bully Dog have cracked the codes....both are releasing 2011/2012 tuning at SEMA.
RIPP superchargers told me today they're looking at 60 days to market for their intercooled Vortech kit for this truck....I'll have one as soon as they release them.
PCM swaps are now a thing of the past.
