2010 Dodge Charger Wide body Build

[Ramrod]

Here is a bit of the Design for the Paint.

[Ramrod]

I really don't understand this at all. They are lights. They have one job, to be seen!

I'd much rather have seen this be a quality build with quality parts instead of, "working with what you got in a short time frame". Take the time and do things correctly instead of rushing and slapping things together.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself very well. I've been up for over 24hrs now. Tail lights are only seen when brake is applied or running lights/lights are on. Correct....My Lights will a part Paint and part Dark Tint.



See how these are done. These are just Tinted Tail lights. Very Common mod for Chargers. I'm going to paint everything but where the Brake lights actually shine through. With LED brake lights I can run a Darker tint since they are brighter then OEM bulbs. With the Darker Tint and Paint done. Once they are Cleared and polished. It will be hard to see where the paint meets the tinted area. But the Lights will be easily Seen when on or when I hit the brakes.

I'm not sure what non-quality parts I'm slapping together. Just b/c some ones opinion on a set of wheels is different? All the body work is being done correctly, all the fiberglass custom work is top notch and the Paint quality will be Top Level Show quality. We have won many best Paint at some Big Shows. Like Goodguys and NSRA shows.

I'm all for different opinions, that's why all our cars look different. If it's not your cup of tea, that's fine. Just check back here and there and watch it come together. Let me see if I can change your mind.

I guess we'll see when it's done...

This is the kind of Charger we go crazy for on Stanceworks.


Clean as hell, neckbreaking, and not covered in Times Square flashy-lights.

Can't afford a good bag set up right now or 3pcs wheels. If I had the money I would. Again working on little to No Budget.

Whats wrong with Halo's, many Cars like BMW and Challengers come out with halos from the Factory. I can just control the color and pattern they run with mine. All my lights are blend in with my headlights housing pretty well when off. There will be no Hood scoop light or MOPAR led badge this build. Which I had before.

I'm all for a Clean build. This is how my Car Sits right now. To me a cool build is more then just bagging and slapping wheels on it. That's why I'm stepping up my build with Custom Bumpers, Hood, Paint, Shaved Doors, Shaved Fuel lid and more. My next big step is either Bags or Motor. Just depends on the timing.

my bad, didnt realize chargers had a random PCD. honestly thought they were 5x114 jeep spec wheels

aight man, always enjoy being surprised.

Ya 5x115 really limits our choices. Many do run 5x114.3 like Mustangs wheels on the Chargers. Some say the .7 split between the PCD doesn't matter, some do. I was surprised all the machine shops thought it was a waste of time.


Here is another Car we have in the works, that many don't like right now either, but it will turn some heads.

I'm hoping you won't even see them or just barely seem them unless lit up.

Hmm... Which truck has 5x115 wheels exactly?

Just wait and see, I'll bet you'll change your mind once I'm done.

I've got a few changes to the wheels still to do. I didn't have $4k to drop on a set of wheels at the moment and not enough time before SEMA to save up for them. XM decided to Sponsor me for SEMA to help me make the Dead line.

Sorry OP, but these wheels and taillights look more out of a lifted brodozer than a widebody modern muscle

Here was my old Tail Lights. OEM just repainted. Will be painting and tinting my new ones as well. The Tint and paint will blend so much. I'm hoping you won't even see them or just barely seem them unless lit up.

I understand on the Wheels. Working with what I got, but trust me I can make these work. New custom Center Caps will make a World of difference.

Also not done with the Tail lights. They will be tinted and painted. But they are also OEM replacements, just in LEDs.

Here is a Car we built not long ago on a Budget, believe it or not. Many had doubts when we said what we were doing and what we were cutting up. Might be just me, but I think it came out alright.

No truck I know of has 5x115. A Local Shop machined them to 5x115 from 5x114.3. I called 7 shops before I found one that would do it. All of them said it wasn't enough to worry about, but 1 did do it for me. My next choice was to re drill my hubs. The XM-315 does come in a 5x115. Which is what I was going to go with at first and how I found XM to begin with.
