A complete widebody kit, a fender flare set and a replacement panel are different purchases. The word “widebody” describes the project, but it does not tell you which components arrive in the box. Compare the exact SKU and included-parts list before comparing prices.

This guide helps you organize a build or identify a replacement. It does not replace the product’s application notes or installation instructions.

Complete kit, flare set or replacement component?

Product type What to establish before ordering
Complete widebody kit Which body panels and conversion components are included in that SKU, plus any required parts sold separately
Fender flare set Which corners or panels are supplied, the intended bumper configuration and the specified mounting method
Replacement component The original kit SKU, exact panel position and compatible version

“Complete” is not a promise that wheels, tires, paint, labor, lights or every accessory in a build photo are included. Read the listing as a parts list rather than treating the photo as the contents of the package.

Match the vehicle and the conversion together

Record the year, make, model, trim and current bumper configuration. If the car already has conversion parts, list those too. A kit designed around one bumper style should not be assumed to fit another simply because the model name matches.

Start with the relevant collection: Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee. The individual listing defines the applicable years, trim and any required conversion components.

Replacing a damaged flare or panel

Find the original kit number on the order record before searching for a replacement. Match that number and the required panel position to the replacement listing. Model year alone does not identify the right replacement component.

Keep photos of the existing kit and the panel that needs replacing. If the original SKU is unknown, send those details to the Vicrez team before ordering. Resolve any disagreement between a kit’s fitment and a replacement listing rather than assuming that similarly shaped parts interchange.

Build a complete installed-cost worksheet

Ask your installer to review the proposed kit before setting a budget. Use separate lines for the kit, any required conversion components, test fitting, bodywork, surface preparation, paint and installation. Add shipping and any wheel or tire changes appropriate to the project.

A listed parts price cannot establish the final installed cost. The vehicle’s existing condition, selected components and required work affect the estimate. Confirm current availability and delivery information before reserving installation time.

Plan wheel and tire clearance as a separate check

Flares change the bodywork; they do not by themselves establish wheel compatibility. Wheel width, offset, tire dimensions, suspension configuration and the installed panels must be considered together.

Have the installer check the intended combination through steering movement and suspension travel. Do not choose a wheel or tire solely because another build photo looks similar. A package still needs to match your specific vehicle and modifications.

Before paint or permanent changes

  • Match the delivered SKU and component count to the order.
  • Review the material, finish and preparation requirements.
  • Inspect the parts and retain the packaging while resolving any issue.
  • Confirm the specified mounting method and required hardware with the installer.
  • Test-fit before painting, drilling, cutting or other permanent work.
  • Review current shipping and return terms before the project starts.
