Very nice. Pic of the back? Did you just use LED bulbs? Or a different taillight?

Thank you! I have LED bulbs in the 3rd brake light, but different tails. The LED's are fully integrated, so I should never need to replace bulbs (hopefully). Here's a few pics

This is before I did the dual exhaust mod, I have actually rotated my entire sub-box so the subs face the rear seats. This eliminated a ton of rattle, but kept the bass if I want it.

This is straight on, with the OEM standard rear wiper arm and dual exhaust fitted

And this is the most recent picture, taken a few days ago. This is with a Vauxhall/Opel Corsa C Wiper Arm mod. I was back in the UK fairly recently and picked one up as they were rumoured to fit the PT, sure enough they do! looks much cleaner than the OEM wiper arm.

Muffler delete?

What muffler? I do have glasspack resonators, so no drone. But it makes a nice rasp when you go hard on the gas. I mocked up the exhaust prior to installing it, and here she is!

I think that those LED tail lights are by IPCW..
Unfortunately, after they are used a while, as I had them on my Couture Edition, the individual LEDs started to burn out.

Nothing is perfect!

Nooo!! These are next to impossible to get now. When I bought them, there were so many on eBay and then they all dissappeared. I guess worst comes to worse, I am an electronics hobbyist so I can repair if need be. I don't want to go back to factory looking tails, I'm not not a fan - even with LED's. Also, nice Couture Ed! Sadly never seen one in person, or a PCH edition (my personal favourite)

With optional Red Katzkin Leather Seats!
But, it wasn't a turbo.

Is the touchpad switch still working on your liftgate?

If not, there's a couple of easy fixes for it, if you haven't already done it, because eventually the touchpad will wear out.

Still working perfectly on the original, and I will continue to live in willful ignorance and denial that they ever break! That said, being prepared - I do have a spare that I pulled. I also don't have a standard set of Chrysler keys, I have flippy keys, but they had an option for a lift gate button. So I may have to see about programming one of those for a key-lift gate release. The replacement key housings cost me maybe $2 a piece on Aliexpress, and they were of actually good quality. Cost me $25 a piece to cut copies though, but I gave that task to a local small business

If you were wondering how they look:

Those "flip" keys are nice

This is the easiest fix for a failed touchpad:

These are just the key shells and you take the guts from your old remotes, providing they are working, put them into these shells and the liftgate button on the remote works perfectly

I don't know why Chrysler didn't provide this type of fob with a new vehicle, because the liftgate pad is there on the guts, just not on the outside of the remote, which defies logic because if it's there, why not make the option available?

But several years ago when the touchpad failed, I added an alternate pushbutton switch, which is probably the type Chrysler should have used in the first place, because it's replaceable.

But I also have a spare winged assembly in case another gets vandalized like what happened to my PT a few months ago. No new winged assemblies exist, unless someone may happen to have some stashed away somewhere.
