Zero cons. Ive had standard body and WB. I’d never go back to standard body unless that was all there was.

The ONLY thing I can think of is the pits that appear on the front of the rear flares. I wrap mine and replace the wrap.

Think Fast and Furious Tokyo. IMVHO

Just scratch the surface. Other than front of rear flares getting pitted, only other thing I've heard (rare) is the ride isn't as comfortable. I would never track the car for what that's worth.

This is absolutely right. Wrap those flares right away. I did and also wrapped the lower section of the doors and behind the rear wheel wells. Also consider stone deflectors if the look isn't offensive to you.

I really disliked the look when the WB first appeared but I'm okay with it now...maybe because I'm 1/2 Japanese ..."I wonder if you know, how they live in Tokyo..." Go to 1:11 for the best ride in the movie...

Only add is...the reality of when a car full of late teen or twenty something girls work hard to pull up next to you to see the young stud driving the big flare Fast & Furious ride...then see the gray hair, and look away disappointed . Oh, to be young with a rdie like this...but, I would have killed myself in it.

Have owned 2 standard Hellcats and a WB Redeye. I dig the widebody look and suspension. Mine is a streetcar. There are also the mini-flares that some members have...look really good...

When the WB first came out, I hated it bad, worse than my Ex, and I hate her a lot.

Those godawful flares tacked on like some 3rd grader's bad attempt at car design. And the price of the WB option didn't/doesn't make sense, especially when you can essentially get the same tires and wheels under the standard body, for far less money.

I still don't understand why they couldn't have integrated the design. (OK, I do, but it still pisses me off - see above for how badly)

As others have mentioned, be prepared for rock pits, some have stated that even with two layers of PPF, they still are getting pits.

With that said, all of it, I'm on the list at my local dealership for a MY23 when the order banks open up. I will be tracking the car, road circuits, so there is a functional practicality to my choice.

Sometimes you LET the ones you love the most, hurt you the worst...

Cons of Widebody vs regular. Two words.. Tram Line. 305s look cool and are good for a road course but they are too enormous for crap roads of PA. My charger has 285 on 10.5s it never tram lines. The same can’t be said with the challenger on 305s 11inch wheels. Also Widebody Has about 15 percent more drag coefficient. Your probably taking the regular charger body from .335 to about .36 . Meaning it’s slower pulling in ridiculous speeds that you’ll never see on the street. Which is 120+. I prefer the hydraulic steering to electric. Better feedback and road feel with the hydraulic pump. Prefer the snorkel grille of the Charger and the 2019 grille design. If they put that grille on the Widebody charger I’d like it more. Not really a fan of this nose ring thing they did with the charger Widebody everytime I look at that I’m like why did they do that haha.. to look like the Durango?

My cons are; it's wide and the tires get caught up in the grooves of the road. Putting 555r2s on the back was definitely helped the groove issue.

If your tow vehicle is a dually, you'll have matching fenders. That must be worth something.

Now, on a Charger I actually prefer the dually fenders. But then again, those didn't have anything to lose in the looks department.

The flares are just more cheap plastic that looks like what it is.......... a total after thought from the design department.

Also good to have if you collect rock chips as a hobby.

Think of Jessica Simpsion as a Hellcat. Which looks better??

Few more miles. You don't have to spend hours or days training her.
