Part 1 - Want to modernize the look of your Charger without going widebody? This video shows the installation of a Vicrez 2020-style front bumper for a narrow-body 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat
Part 2 - The Rear Bumper - can be found here:

IMPORTANT NOTE: 2020 and later wide body chargers don't have fog lights, so this bumper does not provide a slot for fog lights. if you are installing this on a trim level that has factory fog lights you will not be able to install them on this bumper.

Hi Everyone - I've been considering a 2020-style upgrade for a while, but just couldn't bring myself to do the full 2020-style widebody kit. I know several people that have done the widebody conversion and unless you cut out the fenders, you will have rubbing issues with the widebody wheels. There was no way I was going to cut into the fenders, and I didn't want to mess with the drivability of the car, so I was really happy to find out that Vicrez offered the 2020-style bumpers for narrow body Chargers.

nice it really updates the car ... it's amazing how these cars have stayed the same all these years ... where all you have to do it update the nose and small parts to bring it up to the current model... that's what makes these cars great because for all who can't afford the higher end car upfront can always upgrade at a later date... with the older models .... and to tell you the truth I like the narrow body better looks sleeker

Thanks my man. I actually really like the wide body look, but there's no way I'm going to cut into the fenders, and everyone who did the widebody kits without cutting had problems with rubbing. I do too much back-road driving to mess with the drivability of the car, so this was the next best option. Totally agree with you on the upgradability - love that with these cars.

Thanks! Evidently the bumper on the V6's and RT's DO have the missing parts that I described in this video. So you should be able to do the swap without purchasing any additional components, but you will have to remove those two missing parts from your factory bumper, including drilling out the rivets on the two mounting brackets on the outer edge of the bumper.

Nice whips bro. Im thinking of getting that bumper myself. My body style is the same as your R/T. Do you know if the pieces you pulled off the Cat to make the bumper fit are on the rt as well? Or do I have to buy those extra pieces separately??
@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I found out after the fact that the RT front bumper DOES have the required pieces to be swapped over to the 2020 bumper, but you'll have to cut through rivets to get them off the RT. Are you thinking of getting the rear bumper also? If so, make sure you watch my video on the rear-bumper install. Biggest complaint I have with both bumpers is that you will NOT be able to find fitted ground effect add-ons for these bumpers, like a front splitter. The only options available are flat splitters, which require rods. I much prefer the fitted ones that hug the contours of the bumpers. Nobody makes them (including Vicrez). Pre-2020 options won't fit, and the post-2020 options are only made for widebody's.

The 2020 and later wide body chargers don't have fog lights, so this bumper doesn't have a slot for them. I installed this on a narrow body hellcat, so I didn't have factory fog lights to begin with. The strip LEDs I put on are just generic lights I found on eBay and are hooked up to a separate switch that I ran into the cockpit. So they are not controlled by the factory head light switch.
