Taking Dodge Chargers down the customization route in eye-catching fashion is a thing these days, with more and more muscle sedans of the sort showing up. And the Marvel superhero themed Mopar machine we have here makes for a fresh example of this.
Come to think of it, The Thing predates the Charger, even if we count the 1964 show car rather than the 1966 production model, since the fictional character first showed up in The Fantastic Four #1, which greeted fans back in 1961.

The machine we have here started out in life as a 2017 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack - mixing that sweet 392 HEMI with a reasonable price tag, many gearheads see this model as the one to grab.

And, whether the comic book cover-like wrap of the four-door muscle car floats your boat or not, you have to admit this is a pretty accurate depiction of The Thing.

Heck, the character's infamous battle cry is now found at the top of the windshield, but this isn't necessarily the icing on the cake, since there are so many bits and pieces competing for that title. For one thing, it seems like even the Scat Pack badge fits the color scheme the car has received.

This is one for the fans of the #bagged tuning subculture

If we look beneath the (second) skin of this Dodge, we find that the appearance of the machine has also been changed by bringing the car closer to the road.

There's no need to fret, though, as the Charger hasn't lost any of its daily driver abilities. We're talking about air suspension here, which means the driver only has to tap the screen of his smartphone to bring the vehicle to the desired ground clearance.

It seems that the owner of the vehicle has changed the appearance of the R/T Scat Pack on multiple occasions, as you'll notice by checking out the last Instagram post below, which shows the previous look of the Dodge.
