It's no secret that the Dodge Challenger has seen its popularity reaching stratospheric levels these days - sure, the big coupe has been with us since 2008, but all the updates have kept its classic American styling fresh. Then again, the status of the muscle beast means that plenty of owners go down the aftermarket path. Case in point with the example we have here.
This Challenger comes to show that one can enjoy a custom Dodge while keeping the project on a budget. And the recipe is simple, since it kicks off with the entry-level V8.

This is an R/T model, which means its engine compartment accommodates a 5.7-liter HEMI that delivers a respectable 375 hp and 410 lb-ft of twist.

As for the mods fitted to the car, the aim was to achieve the best investment-to-impact ratio. Thus, it was only natural for the project to feature a revised road connection.

To be more precise, the slab of America now features air suspension, as you can notice in the Instagram posts below - which comes from the owner of the vehicle and showcases the lowest setting of the hardware. Sticking to the simple design of the Challenger, the custom wheels, supplied by Rohana, feature a five-spoke layout and a concave profile.

We must now move on to the aero updates of the vehicle. And it all kicks off with an extra splitter sitting below the factory chin, which is kept in place with the help of two rods. And, if we look past the colored halo lights and badging, we'll find a massive hood scoop that has "aftermarket" written all over it.

Moving to the other end of the car, the wickerbill adorning the upper posterior is mixed with a diffuser-like element, while some more custom badging is present.

Oh, and let's not forget the rear window louvers, which come to complete the bad boy image.
