Dodge Challenger SRT Demon owners have filed a class-action lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler, alleging that an ill-fitting piece of the car's giant hood scoop is causing the paint on the hood to chip and peel away.

The Demon's prominent hood scoop is one of its most defining traits, a massive air intake (claimed to be the largest ever fitted to a production car) that spans a majority of the hood's width. But on some models—primarily ones with the optional satin black hood—forum threads show that the plastic insert inside the hood scoop can rub against the rim of the air inlet, damaging the paint.
