The first widebody kit for the Dodge Charger Daytona has surfaced, giving the all-electric muscle car an aggressive new stance.
A New Era for Widebody Chargers
The Dodge Charger Daytona has only just started reaching customers, but the aftermarket industry is already moving quickly to modify the electric muscle car. While Dodge itself has a history of offering factory widebody variants, third-party tuners are taking the lead for now. One of the first to debut a complete widebody package is Waido Kits, a U.S.-based company known for previous work on vehicles like the Tesla Cybertruck, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the last-generation Dodge Charger and Challenger.
What’s Included in the Widebody Conversion
Waido's widebody kit introduces significantly flared fenders, giving the Charger Daytona a much broader stance. At the front, the package includes new quarter panels and an extended splitter to complement the added width. The modifications continue along the sides with extended skirts and a new set of wider rear quarter panels. There’s no official word on how much the kit increases the car’s overall width, but the visual impact is undeniable.
Carbon Fiber and Aerodynamic Enhancements
The rear of the Charger Daytona also receives substantial updates. A fixed rear wing and a redesigned diffuser add to the car’s aggressive appearance. Some of these components, including the diffuser, appear to be constructed from forged carbon fiber, a material prized for its lightweight strength. The widebody conversion also features custom wheels with forged carbon aero discs, further emphasizing the high-performance aesthetic.
Pricing and Availability
Waido has not yet disclosed pricing for the Charger Daytona widebody kit, though its past conversions provide a reference point. The company previously offered a widebody package for the outgoing Dodge Charger starting at $1,790, while a similar kit for the Challenger was priced at $2,090. On the higher end, Waido’s Tesla Cybertruck widebody upgrade can cost as much as $9,990. Given this range, the Daytona’s package could fall anywhere in between, depending on the final specifications and materials used.
More Customization on the Horizon
The Charger Daytona is still in its early days, but aftermarket support is already growing. Alongside Waido’s widebody conversion, another company has begun offering a convertible conversion for the Daytona. With the gas-powered version of the Charger set to arrive later this year, it’s likely that more tuners will develop additional body modifications, performance upgrades, and styling options.
While opinions on the all-electric Charger Daytona remain divided, the aftermarket industry is wasting no time in giving customers more ways to personalize Dodge’s latest muscle car. Whether the factory follows suit with its own widebody option remains to be seen.
