It's not like we didn't see this coming and yet nothing can prepare you for the day when somebody slaps a Japan-sourced Liberty Walk kit on a Challenger Hellcat and lowers the car in the process.
Yes, we really can't show any respect for the treatment applied to this Hellcat and the reason behind this is simple. The Challenger Hellcat is not unique thanks to just its 707 HP. People had been strapping blowers to Challenger for years. Instead, what makes Dodge's package truly special is the drivability, an area that's seriously affected by such an aftermarket treatment.

And what makes the difference between a sweet JDM-sourced tuning project and a ricer treatment? The usability compromises.

The guy who did this obviously had a different opinion on his Hellcat job, especially since he decided to make a video tutorial about the customization procedures.

The man talks about the way in which you should deal with ordering the Liberty Walk fenders from Japan, as well as offering some admittedly common sense advice about the installation.

Nonetheless, it's the new connection to the road that bothers us. While we've said lowering your muscle car is ridiculous, this Challenger Hellcat features an air suspension. At first, it might seem the three-way setup offered here doesn't mean you have to make ride height compromises.

Well, with such a setup, as well as with the "fat" tires required by the beef-up wheel arches, the handling of the car simply can't remain unchanged.

Regardless, you can hit the "play" button below to listen to the guy explaining the whole deal. Spoiler alert: while his... sexy time comment is something we expected, there appears to be a certain hypercar in the background that almost looks like it wants to save the day.
