If John Wick had an evil brother who runs a criminal organization, this is what we imagine he would drive. It's the Clinched Dodge Challenger, one of only two cars in North America sporting this kit and, we think, the boldest.
We know there are more than just two Clinched Challengers out there, but some aren't based on the Hellcat, and have a watered-down version of the package, like the "Aquaman" (watered-down... Aquaman... get it?).

The kit itself costs $6,000 and centers around fender flairs that you can see from the Moon. Clinched also opted to continue the extension to the body all down the side and with a massive chin spoiler. It kind of looks like the classic muscle car split bumper design. At the rear, there's also a trunk spoiler that you can skip to save $300.

But this full build by LJS Garage doesn't stop there. It's also rocking the carbon fiber hood, a new trunk lid, grille, and taillight surround from Anderson Composites. That's a lot of carbon, and it probably cost as much as the widebody treatment.

There's a lot of stuff going on with the suspension, and we won't pretend to understand. The point is that the Hellcat is sitting nice and low when it wants to, hugging its massive Avant Garde Wheels that are 13.5 inches wide at the back.

The interior sports a rear seat delete, full roll cage, and yellow bucket seats. There's even some stuff going on on the performance front, so the Hellcat can rip even harder.

The goodies include a carbon fiber driveshaft, NOS, new injectors, a crankpin kit, Metco Upper Pulley Conversion. It's one of those rare show cars that has a loud bark and the bite to match. So don't go messing with the yellow carbon banana.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
