I agree that it looks too thick vertically and that it would look sooo much better if it wasn't. I wonder if it looks so thick because it is so short. I'm a huge fan of the 1970 Superbird. It was a limited production car made for NASCAR racing that went over 200 mph in 1970. The front nose piece and the rear wing are FUNCTIONAL. The nose piece makes the car more aerodynamic, and on the Superbird, the rear wing generated 500 lbs of down force. It had two steel tubes on each side of the wing, bolted directly to the frame, because otherwise it would crush the bodywork. The rear wing is so high because the trunk needed to open. The body pieces are in fact a form follows function design, and that is always a good thing.Ick. In my opinion, the problem with the challenger is it is way to thick vertically. If they took the body and squished it 4-6 inches, it would be a sick looking car. As it is, it looks very cheap and tacky to me.
I have to wonder if those who don't like the look of this body kit like the original Superbird.
