Remember when Dodge owners started leaving the shipping protectors on their Chargers and Challengers, and enthusiasts the world over began losing their collective minds with rage? The new Charger may have debuted without a single touch of bright yellow on its much smaller splitter, but it seems the aftermarket is willing to step in where Stellantis won’t.
A new render from widebody manufacturer Waido Kits shows a Charger EV with tacked-on fender flares, forged carbon wheels, a big rear wing, and that oh-so-important splitter. Not only is the entire lip yellow in this vision, the color continues onto the wheels and the rear wing.
The result ends up working out well, adding multiple bits of color to an otherwise plain gray body. The dark fender flares help out here, adding their depth as contrast to the light gray of the rendered Charger Daytona, but the real star of the show is that yellow hue that’s ripped straight from the splitter guards of yore.
The kit is merely a render for now, but adding a bit of color lends some genuinely nice visual flair to the new Charger. Cars don’t come in the same bright colors now that they once did, and a little accent splash is always welcome. Everybody loves accent walls in their home, why shouldn’t we get the same treatment on our vehicles?
The Waido kit is the first widebody we’ve seen for the new Charger EV, but it’s sure to be far from the last. If we’re lucky, other companies will pull the same trick and carry the splitter guard accent color into the future. If we’re really lucky, we may even be able to get some brave soul to bring back the pink.
