Wow it looks amazing! Thank you for taking your time this will definitely save me few hours of work 😊 . As for the people that have no experience doing widebody installation. Please don't do a DIY install unless you're 1000% sure you can do it, because it will double the work for the shop you will end up taking it to 😉
Thank you! Yes if your not Good at DIY this is not the project to take on. This is my first widebody and I did pretty good. I will be posting an update video once I have some time! I appreciate you! 🙏🏽
Hey guys, I've had multiple discussions with Brian about this widebody kit, which I myself have being installed by a bodyshop. Unfortunately I hit a deer so whilst it's being fixed I'm having this done. My IG has a quick mock up and everything lined up correctly. Only parts that didn't fit/check was the side marker and the fender flare part that surrounds it. I've gone back and forth with Brian, vicrez, and my shop. We all decided to glue mine, simply want the stronger adhesion. My car is the v6 AWD which is currently now running 20*9 and dropped the car around 2inches. As I don't race like Brian I'm going to see how it fits and looks after the install. My solution to the ride height and wheel sizes are coilovers and wheel hub centric wheel adapters. Last resort is cutting the car which I and many of you probably want to avoid. Just one thing I've learnt each build is different and we all have different scenarios, feel free to ask me, Brian , vicrez questions there's always a solution. Thanks to Brian for alot of dms, he has been super helpful.
@@6dreams79 I was planning on ripp supercharging my car at tax season. Reason I'm doing it this route is that I can get same power as a scatpack. And have the AWD option in upstate NY. So can drive it all year round. Anything more power wise I personally don't see the point, because I wouldn't risk a scatpack or hellcat on the roads I live around.
@@6dreams79 plus yet to see any v6 Widebody that looks factory. I see the other kits like the liberty ones. I'm trying to keep it as stock looking as possible. But also show what a 6 can do. Ild rather build a daily driver than have a high payment for a car that's a garage queen. For the amount of money in this car for sure could have got a good hellcat. But fuck driving it round here. Live up a mountain were the deers like to play Dodge. Unfortunately this time I hit it
@@ivegota6.4semiandhemi92 Iain, it looks like you're doing the same exact thing as me. Widebody kit and Ripp supercharger for the GT AWD. I've had these questions for awhile but no one to answer them. I was thinking of going with larger wheels and tires hence why I clicked on this video to see if they would do the same thing here. Which coilovers work best with the GT AWD? I haven't had much luck finding parts that suit the trim.
So no cutting, no drilling only double sided tape. Would you recommend 3M tape or glue to hold the fender down securely or the double sided tape did the job perfectly?
I did the glue but it wasn’t and is not easy. I think if you use the 3m 30 pound tape , 3m adhesive promotor, and heat up the tape before you apply it will hold pretty good. You don’t need to cut as long as your stock height ( I cut my car because I’m lowered) but I have other friends who didn’t cut and they are using widebody wheels and tires and are just fine. If your looking for perfection.... just trade your car in. It’s going to take a lot of work to make this kit perfect. Just being honest.
@@TIRADORACING okay 3M 30 pound tape I’ll give that a try. Once your fender flares were all installed did you have any gaps anywhere? I’m trying to minimize the gap issue I have been seeing on some installations.
I glued mine, I have plenty of videos up brotha. It did not come out perfect, but I race this car and it’s already seen some damage from loading and unloading on trailers and just track accidents. So I give this another year before I redo the entire car. I say try the 30 pound tape because so used that to apply a carbon rear diffuser on my Infiniti Q50 and that worked great! You can see that install on my channel as well. Watch that video and you’ll see how I prepped everything, it’s very strait forward video
Hello, my name is Dominik and I am from the Czech Republic. I bought an aftermarket widebody kit that looks exactly like yours. I'm customizing my car to yours. I want to ask if it is necessary to cut the fenders or if it is not necessary. or how much do I have to cut the fenders by? I'm also interested in whether you modified the widebody kit.
Wow, great video. I am also planning to install the vicrez wide body kit and the demon bumper on my challenger. I am not sure about the difference between cutting the car body and not cutting as you did.
I agree with that 100%! Even glueing them is complicated because of the ribbed surface. Maybe they’ll update that design in the future it would make a world of difference
Is it necessary to change the front facia of the car? Because I have a 2015 hellcat challenger and it has the stock splitter in the front. Can I use that with the widebody kit or do I have to change the entire front end?
I need to cut my rear fenders. Would this kit work if I cut the bracket it uses to make an elongated U shape without the center part? Or would their be gaps? I'd drill 4 rivets or screws to keep the bracket secured..but for the center, I'm not really sure what I could do. But I definitely need to get more space for my wheels Oh, I'm only talking about the back area. I'll buy the widest wheel/tires that'll fit a normal narrow body up front
Mine was cut, you can see in my other videos where I cut the rear quarter and the vicrez flare. I also panel bonded my flares on. Then I switched to oem kit and repainted the entire car, it’s all on the channel. Just be patient when cutting and installing etc….
@@TIRADORACING thanks 🙏 that is really helpful because I was thinking the OEM was the only option I had. I just installed a procharger last Tuesday, plus I bought a whole list of parts in the span of about a month prior lol I can't comfortably go OEM right now since it feels like I spent more than I should have in the first place
That’s sick bro, in the end the parts held up better for me. But plenty of people made the vicrez kit work and work well. I’m just not a body guy and I did that when I was in college lol.
@@TIRADORACING yeah I'm learning from your mistakes, I'm going to use a rubber clamp to keep them bonded to the vehicle for a whole day & night during the weekend. And my job title is "sheet metal worker" lol so if I can't do it, I should find a knew trade... A few years ago someone crashed into my mustang before I got the challenger. I did a whole ass custom body kit on that thing lol so I should be good.. Wrapped it myself & all. Anyway have a good one👍
I meeeannnn. Def do a little more research this was based off the instructions. Then I had to make some changes and others have come up with even better ways!
Prochargedmopar15 replace the tape with the glue. Be careful not to get any on the paint that the flare is not covering. Apply pressure until the glue begins to harden. Might have to clamp it down overnight
Nice video. I have a 2019 RT. Wanted to know if I can just get the fender flares to fit my car? Also could I get the front bumper lower fender without buying the front bumper?
There is a link in the description below for just the flares, and I don’t think vicrez sells the front chin spoiler separate but I had a spare from mopar and it’s nearly identical. I actually mounted the mopar one to see if it would work on my vicrez bumper and it did. But it is a Hellcat bumper I’m not sure about an R/T.
Oh I addressed it 2 seconds after it happened. I held up a bottle of 3M adhesive or panel bonding adhesive. That’s how I got them to stick. In this video I followed the instructions provided. In my other videos I had to improvise. Others have heated up the plastic flares, added bolts to the back side and drilled holes into the fender to attach fasteners on the other side. I know one person who only used the 3m double sided tape but he also modified them flares a bit here’s a link. ruclips.net/video/Pu0qZCU19ew/видео.html This next guy is the one that added the bolts and again had to modify the flares ruclips.net/video/UsIV9l5_KAM/видео.html As you will quickly realize there is not a single set way to install them and everyone does it differently. I hope these videos help out I know it’s not an easy job.
i have an 11 srt8 challenger....i heard you would have to cut your fenders to avoid it being damaged or hit? whats your opinion on that? and how much clearance would i need for them to be ok?
All depends if your lowered or not I haven’t personally had experience with it but I have friends on stock suspension, widebody and widebody wheels and they haven’t had any issues. My car is pretty much slammed so I cut 1 inch off the front and rear.
I just bought a used '18 hellcat but really wanted a Widebody. Any thoughts on installing the Vicrez WB fender flair kit only and not the front bumper? I like the front fender as it is and seems like it would fit just fine. Any suggestions?
Widebody cars only come from factory with the HELLCAT/Demon front bumper. My car is a 2009, that’s why I changed the bumper (and for added cooling) You don’t need to change your bumper to a hellcat bumper because..... you already have a hellcat. Just order the flare kit by itself and you will be golden! Hope this helps!
@@TIRADORACING hello! I love your channel. I just bought a used 2016 Hellcat Challenger, and I wanted to know if you can tell me the price on the flair kit? Thanks
CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING! These will not fit a stock 2015-2018 Scat Pack Challenger unless you buy the Hellcat front bumper with the Hellcat chin spoiler. The Scat Pack chin spoiler is thicker where it meats the front fender. So the part with the light marker will not fit because it will be too long. The picture of the camouflage Scat Pack... that had to be modified by cutting and heating the part, and in even one of the picture, you can see that part is not flush to the fender. Through discussion with Vicrez Support, am hoping that they mold a piece specifically for the 2015-2018 Scat Packs. Until then, these will not fit without the Hellcat front end.
Good info for 2015+ scat pack owners. I knew it was not going to fit my 2009 SRT-8 front bumper so I did swap my front bumper to a Hellcat bumper as you can see in the video.
Yea man this video is like 2 months old peep my channel or my Instagram @tiradoracing. Cars been done for a little bit now. I cut the front and the rear. Car is lowered, 315/40/18 Nitto 555 g2 tires all the way around. On oem demon wheels 18x11.
How much space is there between the rear of the front quarter panel (or door line) and the front fender flare? I ask because I have a T/A 392 decal on both sides that I don't want to cover. Also, if I get the widebody hellcat wheels that vicrez offers, will I need to cut the car for them to fit if I don't lower it?
The t/a logo will be covered by the flare @roger6280 on Instagram has an example of his widebody TA striped challenger If you don’t lower you don’t need to cut. I haven’t done it ( as I have explained to numerous others In these comments) But others have. So I don’t know what driving the car is like.
Don’t you need to cut the fenders? I’m thinking of doing this but my wheels already come so close to my fender in the front I couldn’t imagine having tires that stick out of the wheel well with my current fender height
To achieve the look yes. The flares don’t magically pull the wheel and tire out. It’s not just about the wider wheel and tire either you need to make sure you find a wheel with the correct offset so it sits more towards the outside A good place to start is the oem widebody wheel specs Demon: 18x11 -4.5 offset Hellcat: 20x11 -2.5 offset (I think that’s the hellcat one can’t remember) Hope this helps!
So after reading some of the comments, I found that the bumper for Scat Packs 15+ do not work. I have a 2015 SRT 392. Is that the same situation with the scar packs????
Yea I’ve seen plenty of scat pack bumpers with this kit. Look at one of my newest videos installing a demon hood on a 15 RT. It has the vicrez kit. Not sure about the srt trim.
You already have air ride? So you already air out? The answer is yes you can still air out. Now are you going to get WIDER wheels with a (-) negative offset to poke out and fill the flare? Then no you will NOT be able to air out unless you cut your fenders. Check out rome low life on RUclips he has air ride and wider wheels and you’ll see how he had to cut his car. Hope this helps.
These do not cause rocks to hit the flares more no. For example if you widebody your car and you don’t get wider wheels or tires, 1.) it will look funny 2.) the rear flare won’t get pelted with rocks. I have another video showing how bad the rear flares get hit, and I installed zl1 add ons rock guards to help prevent it.
No kit is going to give you “no trouble”. As you saw the top of our flare needed something stronger such as the glue or stronger adhesive tape. On my 2009 I had to upgrade to the Hellcat front bumper for the front foremost flare to fit correctly. I don’t have a 2018 so I don’t know 100% if the front flare will fit without modifying it or the bumper.
The vicrez kit is only intended for oem ride height. There no way youd be able to fit your car with 325s in the rear and 305s up front and tuck them without hitting the fender. You have to treat this like a traditional widebody build, and cut your fenders. If you look on the vicrez website, the cars they show with the kit have oem size wheels and tires that arent even flush with widebody. If you want wider wheels and tires and lower or bag your car, you'll have to modify your fenders and actually cut the car just like with a liberty walk kit. I wouldn't trust double sided tape. This kit has drawn a lot of attention because of the low price. One other prime example is if you drag race with these fenders and your car squats hard in the rear, the widebody fenders are gonna get knocked off. Flares need to be modified slightly.
I appreciate the info if you follow me on Instagram you will see I already cut my car and modified the kit to fit MY BUILD. We road race and autocross the car and will run 315’s all the way around. If you purchase the kit you WILL need to modify it for your BUILD. The easy route is buying a wide body car. I also mentioned on Instagram stories what you mentioned above and I am in no way saying “Go out buy the kit and put it on and you will be fine” what I am saying is if you choose to buy the kit be completely aware that you might have to modify either your car or your kit to fit what your going for and to do so at your own risk and with your own judgement. I showed how to install the kit, and I mentioned to use the glue in the video I’m not sure if you watched all the way through. The rest of the install is catered to MY BUILD on my specific suspension, wheel and tire combination and I understand that combination will not reflect most. As for me the kit is doing exactly what I need it to do and will keep posting updated videos.
I wouldn’t say it’s 100% the exact same but it’s as close as you will get with aftermarket. It will fit a 2014, you will need to modify the front flare where the side marker goes, or get a Hellcat front bumper.
TIRADO RACING thank you! I think I I'll start saving. I just got a 2014 black challenger RT 1 1/2 weeks ago. Luckily mine has the sport mode and paddle shifters as well as navigation. 20 inch rims. From what I was reading the original owner must have ordered a sport package. Has the keyless entry, remote start, push button start. I would love the hellcat bumper as well. So much to do.
Hey Qooker, the only problem with 2008-2014 front bumpers is the first piece with the reflector will not line up correctly. There is another method where you can fill in the opening smooth and make it work but it’s really up to you. I personally prefer the Hellcat bumper because it allows the kit to line up, it allows for more cooling, and it looks awesome 🤘🏽. Here is a link to the other method I was talking about 👇🏽: ruclips.net/video/eKTwzYne_ww/видео.html
TIRADO RACING Ok thank you. I just ordered the kit from you guys. The full front bumper and widebody kits. So when I put the wide body kits on will I be able to put bigger tires on? Because I have 275/40s in the front and 295/40s in the rear. All 20in rims. Also, do you guys have anything on your website other than the carbon fiber hellcat hood? Like is there one that is just plain black fiberglass or steel?
Just to be clear Tirado Racing is separate from vicrez. So I do not know all the products they carry you need to ask them directly. Secondly there is more to it than just adding bigger tires... You need the correct wheels with the correct offset to push the wheel out to fill the gap in the new widebody...the widebody alone won’t magically pull the wheel out further if you know what I mean... I personally chose oem dodge Demon wheels in 18x11 on a 315/40 tire all the way around. But also the OEM Dodge Demon wheels wont clear all trim level challengers because the knuckles are different on a rt and an SRT (there is another video of this on my channel). To add more to this the dodge Demon wheels won’t clear the 6 piston brembos found on the 2015+ srt/Hellcat models. They will only clear the 4 pot brembos found on the older srt models and the 2015+ scat pack models.
If I order the kit wide body 2015 and up do you think it will fit my challenger 2014 because I look 2008 to 2019 and shows me without the frontal spoiler demon and only shows me the frontal spoiler of the hellcat bro
Just like I mentioned and showed you in this video I used the glue. I have another video as well. Or you can check the car out on my Instagram @tiradoracing. Car has been done for a few months, I was daily driving it in the rain, Texas heat, cold no issues Yes I cut my fenders to make room for the oem demon wheels and I’m running 315/40/18 on all 4 corners.
@@TIRADORACING awesome, im watching the one now. My cars a drag car/Mexico car and will see 150mph quite often at the drag strip and the street so id like to do a widebody but don't want it to fly off lol
I completely understand! I use mine for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Series so high speed and flares not coming off was a big concern for me as well. I’ve tested it in Mexico and no issues. Be sure to install in a controlled environment. The car the flares and the glue have to be the same temperature in order to ensure a proper bond. I did mine in my garage in like 30 degrees and had some lifting and had to fix it the proper way. Hope this helps!
You need 2015+ headlamps. 2014 and below headlamps are bigger than 2015+ headlamps so your headlights shouldn’t be sunken in they should be in the way of the Hellcat grill. I trimmed my Hellcat grill and headlamp bezels for it to fit with my 09 HID headlamps but if you want a clean fit and finish you’ll need 2015+ headlamps. Not 2015+ STYLED headlamps they need to be from an actual 2015+ car. Hope that helps! Feel free to dm me on Instagram any photos @tiradoracing
SRT CHALLENGER that was my original plan and I may still swap them out with the harness but I’m just trying to cut costs. Between the engine rebuild, widebody, wheels and tires it’s been an expensive couple months.
I can’t answer that because I don’t know what model or year car you have. I’m assuming you have an older generation like mine (2009 SRT8) in that case the answer is no. The front side marker sits in a different position than the Hellcats and scat packs AND the newer side markers are thinner. With my car being a 2009 I had to modify a few things for the bumper to fit, and clear past the older and bigger headlamps. The front bumper change was for more than just looks. The car is used on track and I have other oil coolers in the front that needed air to keep temps down. So again, to me, modifying my car as a whole with the widebody and front bumper wasn’t just for looks. If your trying to get a show quality fit and finish... go oem. This is not for the beginner or intermediate enthusiast.
I couldn’t tell you, I didn’t test it out 🤷🏽♂️ I have another video where I go a bit more in depth about GLUE VS TAPE. Because I never intended to solely tape it.... as mentioned in THIS video we recommended to glued them on... and we did...
I don’t recommend wheel spacers honestly. I myself am going with oem Dodge Demon wheels. I would recommend the correct wheel with the applicable offset to fulfill the desired look.
@@TIRADORACING Ok so idk if I'm asking the right question here or not because I'm in the middle of setting up an appointment for a widebody conversion next week. I was about to buy some spacers but naturally after reading your comment I had to pause. If I buy Hellcat or demon wheels, do I NOT have to do anything further in terms of getting the wheels to stick out further?
I’m not 100% sure about hellcat wheels because I didn’t purchase hellcat wheels so I can’t say yes it’ll work, I don’t want you buying something I haven’t tried myself lol Now I did buy oem Dodge Demon wheels and I do have them on my car now (you can find a pic on my Instagram @tiradoracing) which are 18x11 -4.5 offset. Running 315/40/18 all the way around, no spacers, and they sit pretty flush to the fender. So with that being said, oem hellcat widebody wheels or oem scat pack widebody wheels should work just fine! But I personally have no experience with those so I can’t just say yes 100% will work.
4:56 and 7:09 makes me a little concerned. It appears it didn't want to mold to the body and it literally unclipped from the bracket at 7:09 is this normal?
Yea it’s not a simple “stick on and done”. It’s going to take some effort. For the sake of making a video in 1 day everything was done quickly. The reality is it took me a little longer to get it on.
I don’t know if you read the comments or not but the conclusion has been that you will need a Hellcat front bumper in order for the front forward most flare with the reflector to fit and line up correctly. The rest of the body is pretty much the same. I hope this helps! 🙏🏽
@@TIRADORACING nah I gotcha. Thanks for the reply. Going to do a little more research. Love the widebody look. This one is is almost paid off and we have 2 other track cars so I'm not too concerned with scrubbing the fenders. Do you honestly think the 3M tape will actually keep it stuck to the fenders?
04droppedsilvy I gotcha, I cut my car already, since this video posted I’ve cut the car painted the bumper and flares and I’ve installed the front driver flares just now you can view the pic on my Instagram story. I mentioned in the video I was gonna glue them with the 3m general adhesive, a buddy of mine on Instagram has the same kit and he told me he used this heavy duty 3m scotch tape that holds like 30 pounds. So I bought some and I’m testing to see how well it stays on, again making videos documenting it all. If it doesn’t stick good I’ll glue them. But he hasn’t had any issues so far. The tape provided in the kit is not strong enough at all so don’t even try it. As of now the recommended tape is doing its job very very well.
@@TIRADORACING sweet. I'll head over to Instagram and give you a follow. Last question. Do the front fenders fit pretty nice? I saw an older review and that guy said front fitment wasn't super great on the body line.. his were actually having a rough time staying stuck. I'm sure if the rest of the kit fits. I can figure something out with the scat front bumper.
04droppedsilvy I didn’t have a single problem putting the front fender on that’s why I started on it tonight because of all the negative attention to it. I applied tape I squared it up with the front flare on the bumper, pressed it down and it sat perfect literally no effort lol So idk if these guys are installing the right fender or what lol but it was a breeze 🤷🏽♂️
I didn’t show in the video but the tape pulled some of the paint off my car lol. It’s durable, but if someone REALLY wanted to steal them they definitely could. Now the tape I used is not the tape supplied. I used 3M scotch, it holds up to 20 pounds and it’s a lot wider. Watch my latest video* I go over everything.
Doesn't fit. Front flare is not formed correctly and is about 1 to 2 inches away from the body at the top. It WILL pull away if you use tape. Vicrez SHOULD remanufacture these to properly sit on the body without pulling away. Front part around marker light does not line up with spoilers on Hellcat or Demon. Bottom parts don't stay attached to rocker panels and do not line up correctly. I returned mine as they need tons of modifications to to get them to work. Recommend waiting until they work out the bugs.
Dale I understand, I made the install video with the tape and towards the end you can see where my partner discusses the top the flare not sticking and we are going to use the glue. I might apply some heat to that area as well not 100% sure on my plan of action just yet @prochargedmopar, there is no kit aftermarket that Is 100% flawless. As I stated in the video, make sure to test fit each part before modifying or painting it, that way if you do have an issue it can be replaced or returned.
@@TIRADORACING I agree. I did use heat with there permission and got a really good fit on one side. Got it to be about 1/4 inch away from the body. Was still working on the front marker fitment and ultimately didn't go with it because of the tire clearance. Only had about 1 inch of free travel and it would rub on the top. They recommended adding spacer to the suspension but didn't want to do that. Great company and always willing to help out in any way. I look forward to their next version.
It might just be the video, you can dm me on Instagram and I can send you up close pics or video. I’ve already got the kit painted and on the car. Instagram is @tiradoracing
@@TIRADORACING no no just the widebody kit? And I habe seen that some times they cut the plate of the car to install the kit do you think its necessary?
Check out my Instagram @tiradoracing. But then again I glued mine. Or check out @rome_lowlife but he bolted his on Or check out @mango3ninety2 on Instagram he taped his and he made videos on how he taped his.
Don't think that he said how much it was, but Mopar now makes them for around $2,200 and would rather have the OEM ones if I were going to add them to my 2010 personally
I have oem flares too, all I can say is good luck with that endeavor! With oem flares you will need to swap out your fenders and replace your rear quarter panel so you can snap the oem flares into place. Same with the front and rear bumpers they have slots for the tabs on the flares to insert to. So you’ll need the oem flares plus fenders and rear quarter panels replaced ( way more than $2,200) Or you can grind down the tabs on the oem flares so they sit flush on your car and glue them down. Either way there is no easy answer. What I tell everyone is this, you want oem go buy an oem widebody car.
Check my Instagram or read the other comments I cut my car and cut the vicrez kit to match the openings. You can dm me and I can send you pics of you would like. I’ll be talking about it in the next video or so.
Did I misunderstand or did he say "as you can see the double sided tape worked" on that front fender. Not exactly sure what he means. It may be holding it on but it is a long way from fitting. Looks like at least a 1 inch gap at the top. I was pretty excided till I say that.
Little heat/ little adhesive promotor/ 30 pound 3m tape, (not the tape that comes with the kit that’s what was used for the video) and clamps to hold it over night and your good. I glued them on versus tape because I race the car. Been on for a while. They took a good beating.
The rules that come with this kit state to only use the tape. With that being said there are many other ways to install this kit Others have used bolts and tape, I used the 3M glue as stated in the video. Mine are glued on, only glue was used. Watch other videos for more. If you want to use bolts you may, if you want to use glue and bolts and tape you may. There is no one set correct way to do it. Since I’ve finished my conversion I have been daily driving the car in all weather with no issues
He didn't show gap on top of fenders they not fitting at ll and they say driling is not required at all but u have to drill that tape can't hold nothing one week all will fall of fenders are not made to any challanger or charger body right I take my car to Profesional body shop they only working on challanger and chargers and mopar cars and they couldn't make them stay properly they keep pulling of from car do not buy or purchase any of these I have pictures if anyone is interested to see text me
You need to take these to a body shop. Someone who specializes in body and fabrication. Working on a HEMI, changing brakes, lights, etc is far different than installing body kits. Just look at liberty walk, pandem, etc…. So far the BEST option is oem through a Mopar direct connection dealership as the parts are now unlocked. Fair warning you still have to cut the rear according to Mopar. I hope this helps.
BUT, there is no space for wheel, so if you keep the wheelbase, the car will look like tram.... if you would like have the good looking wheelbase the car ground clearance will be like off road.
I did another video with the tape right before I drove to San Antonio from Austin and I went pretty quick and no problems. But I also didn’t prep correctly and didn’t use adhesive promotor or heat when applying. I think with proper prep it will hold and look better
Double sided TAPE? Lord... I go 175 mph in my challenger... I'd blow those things OFFFF... How long is this tape supposed to last? Add in Memphis summer heat? And I wash weekly... Lord
That’s it 175?? Baby numbers. Did you watch the video? I’m glueing them on and I highly encourage anyone else to do so. Check out my Instagram for updates as I’ve already started to glue them on. Others have had tremendous luck with the heavy duty tape but considering my car sees high speeds often I’m glueing them. So the solution to all your 175mph, weekly wash, Memphis summer heat was in the video the whole time, imagine that. Even better a link to the 3M glue is in the description so you don’t even have to search for it! Hope that helps!
@@TIRADORACING after I saw your video I saw one where the 3M glue peeled and the flare separated... I'll check back in 90 days... I just saw a guy drill his in today... I'll try that...
Kenny Lauderdale I glued mine lol I have friends on Instagram with the same kit that had good results with the 3m scotch the 20lb stuff and I tried it but mine started peeling up in spots. It’s strong tape and it was a pain to get off but I glued them on with that 3m glue.
At 4:57 to 5:04 into the video it looks like when you’re pushing down on the top of the fender flare it keeps popping back up why didn’t you address that. I would bet on a hot day that 3M tape would pop up and their would be a gap. No Thanks.
@@TIRADORACING I commented on one of your other videos that they need to be glued down that’s the only way to do it. 3M makes an automotive adhesive that dries rockhard for just this type of application and they won’t pop up, there on permanently.
Yea I know.... I glued them on... 3M glue and applicator both linked in my bio. It’s the same product used by body shops to bond panels together. It’s been 5 months since I’ve done it and I’ve had the car in cold weather, hot Texas heat (reading 102 tomorrow), rain and everything in between. BUT I do have to say I have many friend son Instagram who solely used the 3m scotch extra strength tape with this kit and they have had success..... and it’s been about 2 years. So to say it doesn’t work with tape is not 100% accurate either. I personally do not trust the tape considering this car is primarily used for road course and autocross so bonding them permanently was my only choice. Plenty of people reach out to me on Instagram and we DM back and forth I’m 100% transparent about the process and the cost. In my other video I admit I’m not happy with my outcome but I will redo it for a better fit and finish after the 2020 race season ends.
Check out my other videos; I used the epoxy (as shown in this video) to bond the flares. Then you can check me out racing the car on Drive Hard: The Maloof Way on Netflix. The kit never “flew off the car”. Just to show it can be done. Since then I’ve gone to an oem conversion.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious, instead of immediately trying to put me down you should have taken the time to look at my other videos and see how I made it work. But I know your type... the “OEM type”, I tell people like you to to cut your losses and upgrade to an oem widebody car from the dealership. But then again if you could have done that, you would have done it already. Instead your looking for a cheaper alternative and here you are, watching my videos 😂! If it’s not for you and you don’t want to spend the time energy or money modifying your car then go buy one from the dealership. Thanks for supporting my channel 🤠!
Do not buy these!! My son bought them for his car paid to have them painted and paid to have them put on. The shop where he had them put on said they are obviously not made for the car. They couldn't get them to fit right at all, the tape is worthless so he had to spend even more money on glue. They look terrible and the shop got nothing but worthless answers when they tried to contact the company. They say he should have been told that he had to have a new front bumper but he was never told that. Information like that should be listed up at the top where it's very clear what you need. He's taking them off as I type this. The first good wind would have probably tore them off anyway. I just feel bad that he had to spend so much money before realizing he'd been taken.
I’m very sorry to hear this Rachel! I have read and heard this multiple times ( that a shop says they cannot install it), but I was able to do it in my garage and plenty of others with little to no experience have been able to do it, and other shops have been able to do it. As for the information on the bumper and the front flares not lining up I know it is mentioned in a VICREZ video and I think it is written on their webpage where you order the kit from. They mention you may have to modify the front flare piece (they also have a video on RUclips on their RUclips page) or you may need to purchase the Hellcat front bumper. You may see similar comments on my channel of the kit not fitting or the kit fitting... it seems like it’s a solid fail or a solid pass. I’m terribly sorry for your outcome and I hope you find something that works for you and your son!
Wow it looks amazing! Thank you for taking your time this will definitely save me few hours of work 😊 . As for the people that have no experience doing widebody installation. Please don't do a DIY install unless you're 1000% sure you can do it, because it will double the work for the shop you will end up taking it to 😉
Thank you! Yes if your not Good at DIY this is not the project to take on. This is my first widebody and I did pretty good. I will be posting an update video once I have some time! I appreciate you! 🙏🏽
If you have any questions you can DM me on Instagram I always reply. @tiradoracing
@@TIRADORACING how long does it take the glue to cure for the fenders?
Ordered my kit on Friday. Can’t wait for it to get here.
Prochargedmopar15 let me know how it ends up please. Thinking of ordering them as well
Did you get your kit ?
He did order his kit and he installed it with the 3m glue and it came out killer! You can check his out on Instagram @prochargedmopar15
Hey guys, I've had multiple discussions with Brian about this widebody kit, which I myself have being installed by a bodyshop.
Unfortunately I hit a deer so whilst it's being fixed I'm having this done. My IG has a quick mock up and everything lined up correctly. Only parts that didn't fit/check was the side marker and the fender flare part that surrounds it.
I've gone back and forth with Brian, vicrez, and my shop. We all decided to glue mine, simply want the stronger adhesion.
My car is the v6 AWD which is currently now running 20*9 and dropped the car around 2inches. As I don't race like Brian I'm going to see how it fits and looks after the install. My solution to the ride height and wheel sizes are coilovers and wheel hub centric wheel adapters.
Last resort is cutting the car which I and many of you probably want to avoid. Just one thing I've learnt each build is different and we all have different scenarios, feel free to ask me, Brian , vicrez questions there's always a solution.
Thanks to Brian for alot of dms, he has been super helpful.
Iain Stevenson another widebody 6, I was going the same route lol it’ll be ricey but who cares 😂 it’ll be dope
@@6dreams79 I was planning on ripp supercharging my car at tax season. Reason I'm doing it this route is that I can get same power as a scatpack. And have the AWD option in upstate NY. So can drive it all year round. Anything more power wise I personally don't see the point, because I wouldn't risk a scatpack or hellcat on the roads I live around.
@@6dreams79 plus yet to see any v6 Widebody that looks factory. I see the other kits like the liberty ones.
I'm trying to keep it as stock looking as possible. But also show what a 6 can do. Ild rather build a daily driver than have a high payment for a car that's a garage queen.
For the amount of money in this car for sure could have got a good hellcat. But fuck driving it round here. Live up a mountain were the deers like to play Dodge. Unfortunately this time I hit it
@@ivegota6.4semiandhemi92 Iain, it looks like you're doing the same exact thing as me. Widebody kit and Ripp supercharger for the GT AWD. I've had these questions for awhile but no one to answer them. I was thinking of going with larger wheels and tires hence why I clicked on this video to see if they would do the same thing here. Which coilovers work best with the GT AWD? I haven't had much luck finding parts that suit the trim.
@@Citizen_ they not cheap for us AWD. Some range from 700-2000.
All depends on your budget
By adding these widebody fender flares, can we throw 20X11’s on both the front & back or will the tires on the front still rub?
You’ll need to cut the actual car’s fender or else it will rub
So no cutting, no drilling only double sided tape. Would you recommend 3M tape or glue to hold the fender down securely or the double sided tape did the job perfectly?
I did the glue but it wasn’t and is not easy.
I think if you use the 3m 30 pound tape , 3m adhesive promotor, and heat up the tape before you apply it will hold pretty good.
You don’t need to cut as long as your stock height ( I cut my car because I’m lowered) but I have other friends who didn’t cut and they are using widebody wheels and tires and are just fine.
If your looking for perfection.... just trade your car in. It’s going to take a lot of work to make this kit perfect. Just being honest.
@@TIRADORACING okay 3M 30 pound tape I’ll give that a try. Once your fender flares were all installed did you have any gaps anywhere? I’m trying to minimize the gap issue I have been seeing on some installations.
I glued mine, I have plenty of videos up brotha.
It did not come out perfect, but I race this car and it’s already seen some damage from loading and unloading on trailers and just track accidents. So I give this another year before I redo the entire car.
I say try the 30 pound tape because so used that to apply a carbon rear diffuser on my Infiniti Q50 and that worked great! You can see that install on my channel as well.
Watch that video and you’ll see how I prepped everything, it’s very strait forward video
Hello, my name is Dominik and I am from the Czech Republic. I bought an aftermarket widebody kit that looks exactly like yours. I'm customizing my car to yours. I want to ask if it is necessary to cut the fenders or if it is not necessary. or how much do I have to cut the fenders by? I'm also interested in whether you modified the widebody kit.
I didn’t modify the body kit. I did use glue instead of tape.
Also I cut the front and the rear about 1 inch. Nothing too crazy.
Wow, great video. I am also planning to install the vicrez wide body kit and the demon bumper on my challenger. I am not sure about the difference between cutting the car body and not cutting as you did.
It all depends if your lowered or not. Of your lowered you will need to cut. If your car is stock suspension no cutting needed.
Good to the kit in action I want one for my 2014
That 3m tape isn't gonna last on that ribbed surface, it should have been designed with a flat face to allow more contact area.
I agree with that 100%! Even glueing them is complicated because of the ribbed surface. Maybe they’ll update that design in the future it would make a world of difference
Check out Mango3ninety2 install vid on how he dealt with the ribbed surface. Great idea.
Yea we’re friends. I send a ton of people his way just read the comments lol.
Do they make carbon fiber kits
Nope
Is it necessary to change the front facia of the car? Because I have a 2015 hellcat challenger and it has the stock splitter in the front. Can I use that with the widebody kit or do I have to change the entire front end?
You can keep your front bumper with this kit but you do need the widebody front splitter.
I need to cut my rear fenders. Would this kit work if I cut the bracket it uses to make an elongated U shape without the center part? Or would their be gaps? I'd drill 4 rivets or screws to keep the bracket secured..but for the center, I'm not really sure what I could do. But I definitely need to get more space for my wheels
Oh, I'm only talking about the back area. I'll buy the widest wheel/tires that'll fit a normal narrow body up front
Mine was cut, you can see in my other videos where I cut the rear quarter and the vicrez flare. I also panel bonded my flares on.
Then I switched to oem kit and repainted the entire car, it’s all on the channel. Just be patient when cutting and installing etc….
@@TIRADORACING thanks 🙏 that is really helpful because I was thinking the OEM was the only option I had. I just installed a procharger last Tuesday, plus I bought a whole list of parts in the span of about a month prior lol I can't comfortably go OEM right now since it feels like I spent more than I should have in the first place
That’s sick bro, in the end the parts held up better for me. But plenty of people made the vicrez kit work and work well. I’m just not a body guy and I did that when I was in college lol.
@@TIRADORACING yeah I'm learning from your mistakes, I'm going to use a rubber clamp to keep them bonded to the vehicle for a whole day & night during the weekend. And my job title is "sheet metal worker" lol so if I can't do it, I should find a knew trade... A few years ago someone crashed into my mustang before I got the challenger. I did a whole ass custom body kit on that thing lol so I should be good.. Wrapped it myself & all. Anyway have a good one👍
I had no idea these would be so simple to install. Really makes you think twice before buying a wideboy from factory lol
I meeeannnn. Def do a little more research this was based off the instructions. Then I had to make some changes and others have come up with even better ways!
Amazing work!!! Can’t wait to see the finished product 👏🏼
Thank you! I hope the video helped you see how easy it is to install!
TIRADO RACING very simple!
TIRADO RACING does that 3M liquid go on the tape and fender or between the body of the car and the flare without double sided tape???
Prochargedmopar15 replace the tape with the glue. Be careful not to get any on the paint that the flare is not covering. Apply pressure until the glue begins to harden. Might have to clamp it down overnight
Good job, man! Can’t wait to see the finished product. 🔥👊🏻🔥
Thanks man!
You are the best thanks for taking the time to help me. Appreciated. God 🙌
Anytime Adonis thanks for reaching out brotha!
Did this kit come with the front bumper?!
You can buy the flares and the bumper separately or you can buy it all together. Check on vicrez website.
Ok thank you!!
That was pretty cool.. Didn’t know it was that simple..😁😁
Thanks lol Much easier for 2015+ challengers, hardest part is having to trim stuff to make it fit the older cars like mine. Part 2 coming out soon!
Lol it’s not. Any real body person knows that kit has to be drilled and installed. This will look and be flimsy
Your not lying😂. Took a year of abuse. Autocross, willow springs, road trips you name it! I just switched to full oem kit now.
Nice video. I have a 2019 RT. Wanted to know if I can just get the fender flares to fit my car? Also could I get the front bumper lower fender without buying the front bumper?
There is a link in the description below for just the flares, and I don’t think vicrez sells the front chin spoiler separate but I had a spare from mopar and it’s nearly identical. I actually mounted the mopar one to see if it would work on my vicrez bumper and it did. But it is a Hellcat bumper I’m not sure about an R/T.
TIRADO RACING
Thanks I guess I will just have to do some research to see if my bumper will work with a bigger front chin spoiler.
Awesome vid man! The chally looks so good🔥🔥🔥 And you gotta make a table with the old front bumper!😂
Thanks man! Yea I’m gonna make some garage art with it 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Tips for making the top of the front fenders to stick? I noticed yours were hanging off too but did not address it
Oh I addressed it 2 seconds after it happened. I held up a bottle of 3M adhesive or panel bonding adhesive. That’s how I got them to stick. In this video I followed the instructions provided. In my other videos I had to improvise.
Others have heated up the plastic flares, added bolts to the back side and drilled holes into the fender to attach fasteners on the other side.
I know one person who only used the 3m double sided tape but he also modified them flares a bit here’s a link.
ruclips.net/video/Pu0qZCU19ew/видео.html
This next guy is the one that added the bolts and again had to modify the flares
ruclips.net/video/UsIV9l5_KAM/видео.html
As you will quickly realize there is not a single set way to install them and everyone does it differently. I hope these videos help out I know it’s not an easy job.
i have an 11 srt8 challenger....i heard you would have to cut your fenders to avoid it being damaged or hit? whats your opinion on that? and how much clearance would i need for them to be ok?
All depends if your lowered or not
I haven’t personally had experience with it but I have friends on stock suspension, widebody and widebody wheels and they haven’t had any issues.
My car is pretty much slammed so I cut 1 inch off the front and rear.
I just bought a used '18 hellcat but really wanted a Widebody. Any thoughts on installing the Vicrez WB fender flair kit only and not the front bumper? I like the front fender as it is and seems like it would fit just fine. Any suggestions?
Widebody cars only come from factory with the HELLCAT/Demon front bumper.
My car is a 2009, that’s why I changed the bumper (and for added cooling)
You don’t need to change your bumper to a hellcat bumper because..... you already have a hellcat.
Just order the flare kit by itself and you will be golden! Hope this helps!
@@TIRADORACING hello! I love your channel. I just bought a used 2016 Hellcat Challenger, and I wanted to know if you can tell me the price on the flair kit? Thanks

Here you go!
@@TIRADORACING thanks
@@TIRADORACING LOL thanks for the clarification. was concerned the front of the front wheel fender flares would fit with my stock splitter. Thanks!
CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING! These will not fit a stock 2015-2018 Scat Pack Challenger unless you buy the Hellcat front bumper with the Hellcat chin spoiler. The Scat Pack chin spoiler is thicker where it meats the front fender. So the part with the light marker will not fit because it will be too long. The picture of the camouflage Scat Pack... that had to be modified by cutting and heating the part, and in even one of the picture, you can see that part is not flush to the fender. Through discussion with Vicrez Support, am hoping that they mold a piece specifically for the 2015-2018 Scat Packs. Until then, these will not fit without the Hellcat front end.
Good info for 2015+ scat pack owners.
I knew it was not going to fit my 2009 SRT-8 front bumper so I did swap my front bumper to a Hellcat bumper as you can see in the video.
What about a 2019 scat pack shaker? Any idea if it fits?
still a scat pack front bumper..... like originally stated either you need to modify the flare or buy the Hellcat front bumper
@@TIRADORACING aaah ok thanks a lot for the info! Guess I'll work around a vit on the front fenders then!
Anytime!
Wow it’s that easy ??? Definitely ordering me a kit now
Watch my other videos ☝🏽. I glued mine on, and even that process is not easy.
TIRADO RACING watching them now i appreciate you putting it on youtube
No problem bro, you can dm me on Instagram with questions @tiradoracing
TIRADO RACING will do i appreciate it my man 🤙🏾
Are you going or did you cut out the front fenders for clearance to put the demon wheels?
Yea man this video is like 2 months old peep my channel or my Instagram @tiradoracing. Cars been done for a little bit now.
I cut the front and the rear. Car is lowered, 315/40/18 Nitto 555 g2 tires all the way around. On oem demon wheels 18x11.
Not that I have a challenger, I’m curious is that tape enough?
Watch my other videos this video is a couple months old
**edit** I see you commented on the other video lol thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Yessir that 3M that heavyduty stuff
When you pronounce your S’s you whistle loud at the same time lol
Lmao it’s from all the times I practiced doing Herbert from Family Guy 😂 now I can’t stop I need help
How much space is there between the rear of the front quarter panel (or door line) and the front fender flare?
I ask because I have a T/A 392 decal on both sides that I don't want to cover.
Also, if I get the widebody hellcat wheels that vicrez offers, will I need to cut the car for them to fit if I don't lower it?
The t/a logo will be covered by the flare
@roger6280 on Instagram has an example of his widebody TA striped challenger
If you don’t lower you don’t need to cut. I haven’t done it ( as I have explained to numerous others In these comments)
But others have. So I don’t know what driving the car is like.
Don’t you need to cut the fenders? I’m thinking of doing this but my wheels already come so close to my fender in the front I couldn’t imagine having tires that stick out of the wheel well with my current fender height
Hell yea you do. And I did.
Did you have to cut the rears too?
@@derekeldridge4407 Yeap. In one of my videos converting to oem widebody you can see it.
Do you need to get wider tires and rims or? Never done this before
To achieve the look yes. The flares don’t magically pull the wheel and tire out.
It’s not just about the wider wheel and tire either you need to make sure you find a wheel with the correct offset so it sits more towards the outside
A good place to start is the oem widebody wheel specs
Demon: 18x11 -4.5 offset
Hellcat: 20x11 -2.5 offset (I think that’s the hellcat one can’t remember)
Hope this helps!
Thank you! I really appreciate the help!!
So after reading some of the comments, I found that the bumper for Scat Packs 15+ do not work. I have a 2015 SRT 392. Is that the same situation with the scar packs????
Yea I’ve seen plenty of scat pack bumpers with this kit. Look at one of my newest videos installing a demon hood on a 15 RT. It has the vicrez kit. Not sure about the srt trim.
This is so badass.
Thank you!
I have air suspension on my challenger, will I be able to air out with this?
You already have air ride? So you already air out? The answer is yes you can still air out.
Now are you going to get WIDER wheels with a (-) negative offset to poke out and fill the flare? Then no you will NOT be able to air out unless you cut your fenders.
Check out rome low life on RUclips he has air ride and wider wheels and you’ll see how he had to cut his car. Hope this helps.
@@TIRADORACING thank you! I just got the car yesterday and it has the air suspension. I was jus gonna wide body it and get wheel spacers
GLUE AND TAPE INSTALL IS MARGINAL...... MECHANICAL ATTACHMENT IS SUPERIOR
Using an all-spark and making it turn into a transformer is even better. But we worked with what we had 😅.
My front flare with side light does not line up . Please help
Do these make rocks hit the body of the car more often or is that just if your using wide tires?
These do not cause rocks to hit the flares more no. For example if you widebody your car and you don’t get wider wheels or tires, 1.) it will look funny
2.) the rear flare won’t get pelted with rocks.
I have another video showing how bad the rear flares get hit, and I installed zl1 add ons rock guards to help prevent it.
Do I have to get the bumper to
Sorry for the late reply, yes the corner light placement is different between 08-14 and 15-23. The flare has to line up with that corner light.
So these should fit on my 2018 Challenger with no trouble?
No kit is going to give you “no trouble”. As you saw the top of our flare needed something stronger such as the glue or stronger adhesive tape. On my 2009 I had to upgrade to the Hellcat front bumper for the front foremost flare to fit correctly. I don’t have a 2018 so I don’t know 100% if the front flare will fit without modifying it or the bumper.
The rest of the body lines are pretty much the same and the flares will fit.
TIRADO RACING awesome thank you bro 🙏💪👍
Looks good bro👍🏽
Thanks bro!
The vicrez kit is only intended for oem ride height. There no way youd be able to fit your car with 325s in the rear and 305s up front and tuck them without hitting the fender. You have to treat this like a traditional widebody build, and cut your fenders. If you look on the vicrez website, the cars they show with the kit have oem size wheels and tires that arent even flush with widebody. If you want wider wheels and tires and lower or bag your car, you'll have to modify your fenders and actually cut the car just like with a liberty walk kit. I wouldn't trust double sided tape. This kit has drawn a lot of attention because of the low price. One other prime example is if you drag race with these fenders and your car squats hard in the rear, the widebody fenders are gonna get knocked off. Flares need to be modified slightly.
I appreciate the info if you follow me on Instagram you will see I already cut my car and modified the kit to fit MY BUILD. We road race and autocross the car and will run 315’s all the way around.
If you purchase the kit you WILL need to modify it for your BUILD.
The easy route is buying a wide body car. I also mentioned on Instagram stories what you mentioned above and I am in no way saying “Go out buy the kit and put it on and you will be fine” what I am saying is if you choose to buy the kit be completely aware that you might have to modify either your car or your kit to fit what your going for and to do so at your own risk and with your own judgement.
I showed how to install the kit, and I mentioned to use the glue in the video I’m not sure if you watched all the way through.
The rest of the install is catered to MY BUILD on my specific suspension, wheel and tire combination and I understand that combination will not reflect most.
As for me the kit is doing exactly what I need it to do and will keep posting updated videos.
But very good info Mark will pin to the top!
@@TIRADORACING cool ill follow u
Is the kit the same dimensions as the oem wide body? Will it fit a 2014 challenger?
I wouldn’t say it’s 100% the exact same but it’s as close as you will get with aftermarket.
It will fit a 2014, you will need to modify the front flare where the side marker goes, or get a Hellcat front bumper.
TIRADO RACING thank you! I think I I'll start saving. I just got a 2014 black challenger RT 1 1/2 weeks ago. Luckily mine has the sport mode and paddle shifters as well as navigation. 20 inch rims. From what I was reading the original owner must have ordered a sport package. Has the keyless entry, remote start, push button start. I would love the hellcat bumper as well. So much to do.
What is the number the body ù buy?
do you have to have the 2015 and up front bumper for this to work?
Hey Qooker, the only problem with 2008-2014 front bumpers is the first piece with the reflector will not line up correctly.
There is another method where you can fill in the opening smooth and make it work but it’s really up to you.
I personally prefer the Hellcat bumper because it allows the kit to line up, it allows for more cooling, and it looks awesome 🤘🏽.
Here is a link to the other method I was talking about 👇🏽:
ruclips.net/video/eKTwzYne_ww/видео.html
TIRADO RACING Ok thank you. I just ordered the kit from you guys. The full front bumper and widebody kits. So when I put the wide body kits on will I be able to put bigger tires on? Because I have 275/40s in the front and 295/40s in the rear. All 20in rims. Also, do you guys have anything on your website other than the carbon fiber hellcat hood? Like is there one that is just plain black fiberglass or steel?
Just to be clear Tirado Racing is separate from vicrez. So I do not know all the products they carry you need to ask them directly.
Secondly there is more to it than just adding bigger tires...
You need the correct wheels with the correct offset to push the wheel out to fill the gap in the new widebody...the widebody alone won’t magically pull the wheel out further if you know what I mean...
I personally chose oem dodge Demon wheels in 18x11 on a 315/40 tire all the way around. But also the OEM Dodge Demon wheels wont clear all trim level challengers because the knuckles are different on a rt and an SRT (there is another video of this on my channel). To add more to this the dodge Demon wheels won’t clear the 6 piston brembos found on the 2015+ srt/Hellcat models. They will only clear the 4 pot brembos found on the older srt models and the 2015+ scat pack models.
If I order the kit wide body 2015 and up do you think it will fit my challenger 2014 because I look 2008 to 2019 and shows me without the frontal spoiler demon and only shows me the frontal spoiler of the hellcat bro
Marco, DM ME ON INSTAGRAM
Will it snug on to the front lip on the side of the bumper
It will. Check it out on my Instagram @tiradoracing
So on the front fender, it was not sticking on the top and kept popping off when you'd press it down, howd you get that to stop??
Just like I mentioned and showed you in this video I used the glue. I have another video as well. Or you can check the car out on my Instagram @tiradoracing.
Car has been done for a few months, I was daily driving it in the rain, Texas heat, cold no issues
Yes I cut my fenders to make room for the oem demon wheels and I’m running 315/40/18 on all 4 corners.
@@TIRADORACING awesome, im watching the one now. My cars a drag car/Mexico car and will see 150mph quite often at the drag strip and the street so id like to do a widebody but don't want it to fly off lol
I completely understand! I use mine for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Series so high speed and flares not coming off was a big concern for me as well.
I’ve tested it in Mexico and no issues.
Be sure to install in a controlled environment. The car the flares and the glue have to be the same temperature in order to ensure a proper bond.
I did mine in my garage in like 30 degrees and had some lifting and had to fix it the proper way.
Hope this helps!
What head lights do I need cause my 2010 challenger with the front bumper head lights seem to sunk in?
You need 2015+ headlamps. 2014 and below headlamps are bigger than 2015+ headlamps so your headlights shouldn’t be sunken in they should be in the way of the Hellcat grill.
I trimmed my Hellcat grill and headlamp bezels for it to fit with my 09 HID headlamps but if you want a clean fit and finish you’ll need 2015+ headlamps.
Not 2015+ STYLED headlamps they need to be from an actual 2015+ car.
Hope that helps!
Feel free to dm me on Instagram any photos @tiradoracing
@TIRADORACING okay I got the grill in but there's a gap between the headlights and the grill I'll add you rn and send a picture when I'm off work!
@adam_bomb2094 yea please do so I can see what’s up with it and it’s easier to send videos back n forth.
@adam_bomb2094 also send me a message, or what’s your @?
Badass man 🔥🔥🔥
Did you use the stock head lamps? Or used the newer ones?
I currently have the stock headlamps and it causes a fitment issue. I’m working on a solution as we speak. I will video it and post it.
TIRADO RACING I’ve seen guys use the new ones and make it work with a jumper harness
SRT CHALLENGER that was my original plan and I may still swap them out with the harness but I’m just trying to cut costs. Between the engine rebuild, widebody, wheels and tires it’s been an expensive couple months.
Can I use my original front face bumper with this aftermarket wide body
I can’t answer that because I don’t know what model or year car you have.
I’m assuming you have an older generation like mine (2009 SRT8) in that case the answer is no. The front side marker sits in a different position than the Hellcats and scat packs AND the newer side markers are thinner.
With my car being a 2009 I had to modify a few things for the bumper to fit, and clear past the older and bigger headlamps.
The front bumper change was for more than just looks. The car is used on track and I have other oil coolers in the front that needed air to keep temps down.
So again, to me, modifying my car as a whole with the widebody and front bumper wasn’t just for looks. If your trying to get a show quality fit and finish... go oem. This is not for the beginner or intermediate enthusiast.
What speeds does the double sided tape take? I just don’t want pieces to fly off going fast
I couldn’t tell you, I didn’t test it out 🤷🏽♂️ I have another video where I go a bit more in depth about GLUE VS TAPE. Because I never intended to solely tape it.... as mentioned in THIS video we recommended to glued them on... and we did...
One question. With these being installed will you have to put wheel spacers on in order to get the wheel and fender flare flush vertically?
I don’t recommend wheel spacers honestly. I myself am going with oem Dodge Demon wheels.
I would recommend the correct wheel with the applicable offset to fulfill the desired look.
@@TIRADORACING Ok so idk if I'm asking the right question here or not because I'm in the middle of setting up an appointment for a widebody conversion next week. I was about to buy some spacers but naturally after reading your comment I had to pause. If I buy Hellcat or demon wheels, do I NOT have to do anything further in terms of getting the wheels to stick out further?
I’m not 100% sure about hellcat wheels because I didn’t purchase hellcat wheels so I can’t say yes it’ll work, I don’t want you buying something I haven’t tried myself lol
Now I did buy oem Dodge Demon wheels and I do have them on my car now (you can find a pic on my Instagram @tiradoracing) which are 18x11 -4.5 offset. Running 315/40/18 all the way around, no spacers, and they sit pretty flush to the fender.
So with that being said, oem hellcat widebody wheels or oem scat pack widebody wheels should work just fine! But I personally have no experience with those so I can’t just say yes 100% will work.
Were can purchase this kit please
There are links in the description.....
My spoiler is being held on by 3m tape. It’s been on there for 2 years
4:56 and 7:09 makes me a little concerned. It appears it didn't want to mold to the body and it literally unclipped from the bracket at 7:09 is this normal?
Yea it’s not a simple “stick on and done”. It’s going to take some effort. For the sake of making a video in 1 day everything was done quickly. The reality is it took me a little longer to get it on.
would these fit on a sxt models? just curious
I don’t know if you read the comments or not but the conclusion has been that you will need a Hellcat front bumper in order for the front forward most flare with the reflector to fit and line up correctly.
The rest of the body is pretty much the same. I hope this helps! 🙏🏽
TIRADO RACING so if I buy a hell cat front bumper for my scat I’ll be able to put this kit on
Yes sir
Question, I have a 2017 Challenger shaker with Scat pack front lip.. do I need the hellcat bumper? Would this be able to be fitted easily?
I am not 100% sure. Mine is a 2009, this is the only kit I have personally installed. So I don’t want to tell you yes and it be wrong.
@@TIRADORACING nah I gotcha. Thanks for the reply. Going to do a little more research. Love the widebody look. This one is is almost paid off and we have 2 other track cars so I'm not too concerned with scrubbing the fenders.
Do you honestly think the 3M tape will actually keep it stuck to the fenders?
04droppedsilvy I gotcha, I cut my car already, since this video posted I’ve cut the car painted the bumper and flares and I’ve installed the front driver flares just now you can view the pic on my Instagram story.
I mentioned in the video I was gonna glue them with the 3m general adhesive, a buddy of mine on Instagram has the same kit and he told me he used this heavy duty 3m scotch tape that holds like 30 pounds.
So I bought some and I’m testing to see how well it stays on, again making videos documenting it all. If it doesn’t stick good I’ll glue them. But he hasn’t had any issues so far.
The tape provided in the kit is not strong enough at all so don’t even try it. As of now the recommended tape is doing its job very very well.
@@TIRADORACING sweet. I'll head over to Instagram and give you a follow. Last question. Do the front fenders fit pretty nice? I saw an older review and that guy said front fitment wasn't super great on the body line.. his were actually having a rough time staying stuck. I'm sure if the rest of the kit fits. I can figure something out with the scat front bumper.
04droppedsilvy I didn’t have a single problem putting the front fender on that’s why I started on it tonight because of all the negative attention to it.
I applied tape I squared it up with the front flare on the bumper, pressed it down and it sat perfect literally no effort lol
So idk if these guys are installing the right fender or what lol but it was a breeze 🤷🏽♂️
Is the tape durable? Or could a thief just rip the kit off in the middle of the night? 🤔
I didn’t show in the video but the tape pulled some of the paint off my car lol. It’s durable, but if someone REALLY wanted to steal them they definitely could.
Now the tape I used is not the tape supplied. I used 3M scotch, it holds up to 20 pounds and it’s a lot wider.
Watch my latest video* I go over everything.
Doesn't fit. Front flare is not formed correctly and is about 1 to 2 inches away from the body at the top. It WILL pull away if you use tape. Vicrez SHOULD remanufacture these to properly sit on the body without pulling away. Front part around marker light does not line up with spoilers on Hellcat or Demon. Bottom parts don't stay attached to rocker panels and do not line up correctly. I returned mine as they need tons of modifications to to get them to work. Recommend waiting until they work out the bugs.
I’m sorry you didn’t get yours to fit, I’m getting mine to fit. If your not good at diy you can always take it to a body shop.
@@TIRADORACING I am actually too picky and worked with them for weeks on several issues that they are aware of. But thanks for the video.
Dale Meyer oh.. I just ordered a complete kit.. hope they have fixed all the bugs.😳
Dale I understand, I made the install video with the tape and towards the end you can see where my partner discusses the top the flare not sticking and we are going to use the glue. I might apply some heat to that area as well not 100% sure on my plan of action just yet
@prochargedmopar, there is no kit aftermarket that Is 100% flawless. As I stated in the video, make sure to test fit each part before modifying or painting it, that way if you do have an issue it can be replaced or returned.
@@TIRADORACING I agree. I did use heat with there permission and got a really good fit on one side. Got it to be about 1/4 inch away from the body. Was still working on the front marker fitment and ultimately didn't go with it because of the tire clearance. Only had about 1 inch of free travel and it would rub on the top. They recommended adding spacer to the suspension but didn't want to do that. Great company and always willing to help out in any way. I look forward to their next version.
Amigos soy de Lima Perú tengo el Dodge Challenger Srt8 del 2010 cómo hago para comprarlo
Time 5:32 witch part is that I have to order this because my don flew off on the high could you please tell me
The widebody piece?
@@TIRADORACING yes
@@chesterredrum4917 I’m pretty sure vicrez will sell you that piece just reach out to them.
The inatllation of vicrez wide body charger are like this??
I don’t know I own a challenger.
So I notice that the top of the front fender flares don’t seem to sit flush at the top of them.
It might just be the video, you can dm me on Instagram and I can send you up close pics or video. I’ve already got the kit painted and on the car. Instagram is @tiradoracing
Anything for chargers? 2016 hellcat
Your gonna have to email vicrez and ask them. They are in California, I’m in Texas.
How much did it cost?
Like all together? Kit, paint, wheels, tires?
Close to 5k.
@@TIRADORACING no no just the
widebody kit?
And I habe seen that some times they cut the plate of the car to install the kit do you think its necessary?
Younis Faris it’s like 600 bucks on vicrez.com
Read some of the comments👇🏽 I’ve explained this a few times it’s a lot to type out.
I’m short, yes.
Someone please post a pic and provide feedback on how well it sticks. I would like to order one for my Scatty
Check out my Instagram @tiradoracing.
But then again I glued mine.
Or check out @rome_lowlife but he bolted his on
Or check out @mango3ninety2 on Instagram he taped his and he made videos on how he taped his.
Don't think that he said how much it was, but Mopar now makes them for around $2,200 and would rather have the OEM ones if I were going to add them to my 2010 personally
I have oem flares too, all I can say is good luck with that endeavor!
With oem flares you will need to swap out your fenders and replace your rear quarter panel so you can snap the oem flares into place. Same with the front and rear bumpers they have slots for the tabs on the flares to insert to. So you’ll need the oem flares plus fenders and rear quarter panels replaced ( way more than $2,200)
Or you can grind down the tabs on the oem flares so they sit flush on your car and glue them down. Either way there is no easy answer.
What I tell everyone is this, you want oem go buy an oem widebody car.
@@TIRADORACING oh is that right, wow I didn't realize all that was involved and does sound like a pain in the butt
I might make a video showing the differences.....but it’s way more involved than this was lol
@@TIRADORACING that would be good and will watch it, if you do
It’s gonna fly off unless you use seam sealer type glue
4 years later and it never flew off. Never lost a piece of the kit.
Went oem conversion.
Sold the car a year ago now lol
How was you wheel clearance considering you didn’t modify the fenders it quarter panel??
Check my Instagram or read the other comments I cut my car and cut the vicrez kit to match the openings. You can dm me and I can send you pics of you would like.
I’ll be talking about it in the next video or so.
Did I misunderstand or did he say "as you can see the double sided tape worked" on that front fender. Not exactly sure what he means. It may be holding it on but it is a long way from fitting. Looks like at least a 1 inch gap at the top. I was pretty excided till I say that.
Little heat/ little adhesive promotor/ 30 pound 3m tape, (not the tape that comes with the kit that’s what was used for the video) and clamps to hold it over night and your good.
I glued them on versus tape because I race the car.
Been on for a while. They took a good beating.
No bolts just double sided tape?
The rules that come with this kit state to only use the tape. With that being said there are many other ways to install this kit
Others have used bolts and tape, I used the 3M glue as stated in the video. Mine are glued on, only glue was used. Watch other videos for more.
If you want to use bolts you may, if you want to use glue and bolts and tape you may. There is no one set correct way to do it. Since I’ve finished my conversion I have been daily driving the car in all weather with no issues
@@TIRADORACING awesome thank you
He didn't show gap on top of fenders they not fitting at ll and they say driling is not required at all but u have to drill that tape can't hold nothing one week all will fall of fenders are not made to any challanger or charger body right I take my car to Profesional body shop they only working on challanger and chargers and mopar cars and they couldn't make them stay properly they keep pulling of from car do not buy or purchase any of these I have pictures if anyone is interested to see text me
You need to take these to a body shop. Someone who specializes in body and fabrication. Working on a HEMI, changing brakes, lights, etc is far different than installing body kits. Just look at liberty walk, pandem, etc….
So far the BEST option is oem through a Mopar direct connection dealership as the parts are now unlocked. Fair warning you still have to cut the rear according to Mopar. I hope this helps.
BUT, there is no space for wheel, so if you keep the wheelbase, the car will look like tram.... if you would like have the good looking wheelbase the car ground clearance will be like off road.
Won't it fall of? I mean it's tape
Welcome to the channel. 1 year of road racing and autocross, it never fell off.
Also, as I clearly stated I was going to glue them on. I did.
Moving forward I converted to oem widebody and now that’s complete.
Yh i commented before finishing the vid😂, but if it were just the tape, would it fall off?
I did another video with the tape right before I drove to San Antonio from Austin and I went pretty quick and no problems.
But I also didn’t prep correctly and didn’t use adhesive promotor or heat when applying.
I think with proper prep it will hold and look better
@@TIRADORACING oh ok thx
I'd rather tub one out, and have the tires almost touching.
Not a bad idea. Alex Taylor did that with a Hellcat I believe.
Don't trust two way tape
Yea def not the most solid way. I made a few changes since then. Now it’s full oem from a dodge demon.
Double sided TAPE? Lord... I go 175 mph in my challenger... I'd blow those things OFFFF... How long is this tape supposed to last? Add in Memphis summer heat? And I wash weekly... Lord
That’s it 175?? Baby numbers. Did you watch the video? I’m glueing them on and I highly encourage anyone else to do so. Check out my Instagram for updates as I’ve already started to glue them on.
Others have had tremendous luck with the heavy duty tape but considering my car sees high speeds often I’m glueing them.
So the solution to all your 175mph, weekly wash, Memphis summer heat was in the video the whole time, imagine that. Even better a link to the 3M glue is in the description so you don’t even have to search for it!
Hope that helps!
@@TIRADORACING after I saw your video I saw one where the 3M glue peeled and the flare separated... I'll check back in 90 days... I just saw a guy drill his in today... I'll try that...
Kenny Lauderdale I glued mine lol I have friends on Instagram with the same kit that had good results with the 3m scotch the 20lb stuff and I tried it but mine started peeling up in spots. It’s strong tape and it was a pain to get off but I glued them on with that 3m glue.
@@TIRADORACING ok... Where'd your kit come from
Kenny Lauderdale Vicrez.....
At 4:57 to 5:04 into the video it looks like when you’re pushing down on the top of the fender flare it keeps popping back up why didn’t you address that. I would bet on a hot day that 3M tape would pop up and their would be a gap. No Thanks.
Your behind the curve, I glued them down (just like I said I would in the video 2 seconds after that scene). Thank you
@@TIRADORACING I commented on one of your other videos that they need to be glued down that’s the only way to do it. 3M makes an automotive adhesive that dries rockhard for just this type of application and they won’t pop up, there on permanently.
Yea I know.... I glued them on... 3M glue and applicator both linked in my bio. It’s the same product used by body shops to bond panels together. It’s been 5 months since I’ve done it and I’ve had the car in cold weather, hot Texas heat (reading 102 tomorrow), rain and everything in between.
BUT I do have to say I have many friend son Instagram who solely used the 3m scotch extra strength tape with this kit and they have had success..... and it’s been about 2 years. So to say it doesn’t work with tape is not 100% accurate either.
I personally do not trust the tape considering this car is primarily used for road course and autocross so bonding them permanently was my only choice.
Plenty of people reach out to me on Instagram and we DM back and forth I’m 100% transparent about the process and the cost. In my other video I admit I’m not happy with my outcome but I will redo it for a better fit and finish after the 2020 race season ends.
And after 20 minutes of driving will fly away from your car !!!
Check out my other videos; I used the epoxy (as shown in this video) to bond the flares. Then you can check me out racing the car on Drive Hard: The Maloof Way on Netflix. The kit never “flew off the car”.
Just to show it can be done. Since then I’ve gone to an oem conversion.
The front bumper is not oem, it looks like crap it doesn't align properly
Thanks for pointing out the obvious, instead of immediately trying to put me down you should have taken the time to look at my other videos and see how I made it work.
But I know your type... the “OEM type”, I tell people like you to to cut your losses and upgrade to an oem widebody car from the dealership. But then again if you could have done that, you would have done it already.
Instead your looking for a cheaper alternative and here you are, watching my videos 😂!
If it’s not for you and you don’t want to spend the time energy or money modifying your car then go buy one from the dealership.
Thanks for supporting my channel 🤠!
Should have been designed for regular challengers and not hell cats sense most people don't have hellcats.
Do not buy these!! My son bought them for his car paid to have them painted and paid to have them put on. The shop where he had them put on said they are obviously not made for the car. They couldn't get them to fit right at all, the tape is worthless so he had to spend even more money on glue. They look terrible and the shop got nothing but worthless answers when they tried to contact the company. They say he should have been told that he had to have a new front bumper but he was never told that. Information like that should be listed up at the top where it's very clear what you need. He's taking them off as I type this. The first good wind would have probably tore them off anyway. I just feel bad that he had to spend so much money before realizing he'd been taken.
I’m very sorry to hear this Rachel! I have read and heard this multiple times ( that a shop says they cannot install it), but I was able to do it in my garage and plenty of others with little to no experience have been able to do it, and other shops have been able to do it.
As for the information on the bumper and the front flares not lining up I know it is mentioned in a VICREZ video and I think it is written on their webpage where you order the kit from. They mention you may have to modify the front flare piece (they also have a video on RUclips on their RUclips page) or you may need to purchase the Hellcat front bumper.
You may see similar comments on my channel of the kit not fitting or the kit fitting... it seems like it’s a solid fail or a solid pass.
I’m terribly sorry for your outcome and I hope you find something that works for you and your son!
