This post is designed to show how far Dodge fans go with the customization of their cars. The first round will be dedicated to the flagship Challenger line with other rounds later to showcase the Charger and Durango models. I’ve seen a lot of cars and it is easy to say that Dodge fans are the very best at turning stock vehicles into works of art that no other brand even comes close to.
Copper Camo
This first build starts of a stock primary White Knuckle (The actual name dodge uses for its White) paint job with the added black white and copper camo roof and spoiler along with custom rims. The camo pattern is popular on custom cars either covering the whole car (a wrap) or only certain areas like this one.
I chose to show this one because of the color scheme and how well it is balanced across the whole car. This car also shows a very common practice among Dodge fans with that yellow strip in the lower front of the car. It’s a splitter guard put on during original production to protect the splitter during shipping and is SUPPOSED to be taken off; but is commonly left on to add contrasting flair as is intentionally done on higher end sport cars.
Sand Tan
This one is a great example that the Challenger can pull off colors most cars can’t. Thanks to the styling and stock black accent, it’s able to make even matte tan work and look aggressive. Imagine this color on any of the numerous mind-numbing SUVs you see on the road, it just wouldn’t work. This build also goes to show that the Challenger can do a lot with just its primary paint changed, more subtle than the next models.
Blue Lightning
This build is a prime example of the various more dramatic wraps that can be applied to the Challenger. The challenger is able to act as a canvas that offers good spaces to apply art like this while at the same time not being too plain or flat. The lightning is very fitting as well as upper model Hellcat Challengers have a 0-60 in 3.6 sec and top out at 200mph.
Chrome Demon
This build is on the limited production Challenger Demon that was specially made for drag racing but included one-of-a-kind additions that also made it street legal. One of these additions being the tires. While you can’t see them here, they have more smooth surface area with limited tread which makes it track competitive and street legal. Trademark of the Demon is the huge hood scoop needed to keep air flowing to the >1000 hp capable engine. Going all out in contrast to the second example, the Challenger looks good in even outlandish chrome colors. My favorite part is the demon logo badge, stock just behind the front wheels, and aftermarket decaled on this one covering above the back wheels.
Foreign Influence
This Challenger features a lowered suspension, dynamic print, added wings and is stanced. Something I’ve never seen on a Challenger before but came across recently. Stanced meaning why the tires look leaning in. This is done mostly for styling. I’m used to seeing these kinds of mods on lower end Japanese make and models that wanna be drifters mod to hell. Seeing it done on American muscle makes this stand out more among the various unique Dodges.
Limo
Saving the most unusual for last, this is a custom build Challenger limo that required extensive work making more car body then it originally came with. This done on an older Challenger as can easily be determined by the head and taillights that are very different from the current generation shown in the previous examples. Seeing large additions or complete redesigns done to the Challenger is something that comes around once in a while with a more recent one being a rendering of a possible Challenger hearse.
I always find it neat to see how people build their cars. Every car is made unique, and to the design liking of its owner. These pictures are awesome, and really show how much effort is put into some peoples cars. I always am amazed by colorful wraps and fitment choices.
