*EVERY WIDEBODY NEEDS THIS* HOW TO INSTALL ROCK GUARDS (MUD FLAPS) ON THE DODGE CHALLENGER WIDEBODY!

- Well I should have listened to all of your comments from back in October when I picked up my 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody. You warned me about rock chips on the doors, fenders, and fender flares but I didn't listen. In today's video I finally listen to your comments and show you how to install the ZL1 Addons Challenger 18-21 Widebody Deluxe Rock Guards. I think these will help prevent most large rocks and debris from flying up and hitting my doors and fenders. As an added plus I think they look pretty good as well! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

I purchased this product from ZL1 addons but there are other great retailers that sell similar products. Here is the product I purchased:

They also have a less expensive variant:

Thanks for the install video!
I’ve got the rock guards, now I’m just patiently waiting for my Challenger to arrive! 🥲
Awesome! You're going to love the ride! Congrats!
I’m patiently waiting for my car as well. Have a huge box of Accessories that need to be installed I should get my car mid March
Good info! Install seems easy enough. Didn’t think they would make that much of a difference but looking forward to see how they work out!
Yeah me too man! I think it will make a pretty big difference because those front wheels kick up a lot of rocks. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2021 widebody. I had my husband install the same rock guards. He did not want to use the bottom screw but in the end he felt it was just more secure and did so. I feel that they are adding additional protection. Enjoying all your videos! 🙂
Great idea! Yeah I think it's worth doing the rock guards even though they are pit pricey for what they are. Hope you're enjoying your 21 widebody! And thank you for watching the videos🙏🙌
Why's everyone so against drilling? I gotta know😭
I put them on as soon as I picked up the car. Well worth it. Easy install, no need to drill. I've had them on for 6 months and they are still on tight.
That's great to hear! I'm glad that they are still holding well. And you're smart for putting them on so early
After hearing your feedback about that rock issue, I need to install mine i've had them since July lol. THanks for another great install video buddy.
Haha hey maybe you don't need it. Utah roads are known to be awful
Very smart purchase. I have a 2021 Widebody Scat and the ZL1 Add Ons Rock Guards do a great job. I wish I had installed them sooner. I can definitely tell a difference.
Same here man! I'm glad to hear that they have been good for you. Money well spent then 💪🙌
Even not owning a widebody I love watching your stuff and see your beautiful car evolve! Another banger of a video keep up the fantastic work!!!
I really appreciate that my man! Thank you for continuing to come back and watch the channel. Great having you as a subscriber 🙏🙏🙏
One of the best additions I made to my car
Yeah they do look GOOD, main thing is it's gonna keep the paint and body looking GOOD
Exactly my man! I'm glad I did it!
I have used these rock guards on all of my Challengers. I purchased a 22 Challenger Hellcat widebody and the rock chips are terrible with the rock guards. My Hellcat only had 121 miles and rock damage. I am going to install PPFF asap. Thanks for the great video.
Just ordered these and the deluxe rear diffuser for my 2021 Scat Pack Shaker wide body. Great video! Thank you!
IS IT NECESSARY TO ALSO ADD EXPEL PPF TO ALL 4 WHEEL FLARES🤔?? AND FRONT END ON TOP OF BUMPER AND BELOW??🤔🤔
So I added paint protection to the whole front end of the car. I didn't add it to the rear fender flares because the price was a little steep. If you want the most coverage then I would recommend it. Otherwise the rockguards should be pretty good and are less expensive than the paint protection film
Yes they are worth it. I've had mine on for 1 year this month. No rock chips on the sides. I put the screw on and glad I did. Twice I've ran over road hazards that should have broken the guards. They are fine after a year of use
Good to know! I may put the screw in if I run into any issues
I can’t WAIT to see the comparison video.... I’ve been struggling with MAYbe doing a widebody kit or not....you should touch on that too my man!!! Give your boy some advice 😂😂
Oh I definitely will man! Great suggestion! I think your car with a Widebody would look siiick! But it's definitely not cheap 🤷♂️
@@SchwayZ I KNOW!!!! I SOOOO torn to do it IF I had the money!! I kinda like the exclusivity of the SRT392 possibly being a limited edition trim later down the line since they were only made for 3 years but then again the look will make it look SICK like you said!! Not sure if it’ll increase the value or not 🤔
@@toddwatkins9666 that's so true man! It would look so awesome!!! Not sure on value either. One comment I have is that the cost of doing the widebody is probably going to cost more than the 6k for the widebody option. I talk about it in my next video. BUT there's no widebody SRT 392s
Thank you for the video, I ordered a set for my widebody as well. I also ordered the wicker bill for the back spoiler can’t wait to install them but I guess first I have to get the car. I did order the car in December but the factories been closed till today January 27th. Hopefully should get the car around March.
I have a jailbreak on order. Nice video I definitely will do something to protect the paint. I am having the car get PPF right from delivery and planned to do the whole front end, hood, front fenders, mirrors, and all 4 flares. Do you think it is also necessary to PPF the bottom of the doors? How much chipping did you notice on those areas? Trying to run the car without the guards and let the PPF take all the hits. Thanks.
Good question. I would say PPF on the rear widebody fender is necessary. I'm noticing rock chips that shoot out from the front tires and cause little chips in the rear widebody fenders. As for the doors, you could probably get by without PPF but if you want the best protection I'd get it there as well. There are some smaller scratches in those areas. You could possibly buff them out later but still something to keep in mind
Hiii buddy, I just ordered a set 3 days ago, now waiting for shipping. Thanks for the video!
Awesome! I think it's a smart purchase man even though it's a bit expensive
@@SchwayZ absolutely, especially for our widebody beasts 👍🏽😄
@@frostbitedos haha definitely man! The widebodys need it
@@SchwayZ are you considering installing a diffuser as well? I also ordered one from ZL1, and that's it for now no more mods for me, I am trying to keep it as a stock as possible.
@@frostbitedos good question man. Not at the moment but that is something I highly considering for the ScatPack so once I start running low on ideas I may bite the bullet and do it. Some of them look really cool
Are these the standard or deluxe ZL1 rock guards.
I have a Scat Pack Wide Body on order and was debating between the ZL1 and Swaim rock guards. I like that I don’t have to remove the tires for the ZL1, but wonder if you looked at the Swaims?
Good question. I didn't look at the Swaims unfortunately so I don't think I could provide any advice there. So far my ZL1s have stuck to the car. Also love your name haha!
So then if I get the zl1 rock guards I won't get any rock chips AT ALL?
that was easy. I know what you mean about some parts being waaaay overpriced for what they are. I know there's R&D costs but man do some places take it to the extreme lol.
Completely agree man! But everything seems to be getting more expensive so I guess I can't complain too much about ZL1 add-ons
What are your plans with this car when the lease expires? Seems like putting all these mods on the car will be wasted if you turn it in.
Yeah I'm not planning on turning it back in. Either keeping it or selling it privately or trading in. I have 2.5 years to decide
I fail to understand why narrow body dont need this. I got other car that is F up with rocks. Is narrow somehow equiped with better guards? Or just the smaller wheels and thats it?
The wheels don't stick out as much so less rocks hit the Paint
@@SchwayZ thanks bro!
First of all... the BUMPER is at the back of your car and the front.... the FENDER is the area around the tire/wheel combination... the FENDERS are part of Quarter Panels
Are you serious?!
What I find ridiculous is how long the widebody has been available and still this is the only thing that I have been able to find. I feel it was severely important that dodge or someone else could have made something more than this thin piece of plastic.
Has anyone found something other than this. Would really appreciate if anyone would let me know if you did .
I actually ordered spashguards from MOPAR that said they would fit a 2021 widebody. Unfortunately they do not actually fit the widebody. I even took them to my dealer and they said the same thing. Dodge claims they fit but they do not.
So I returned them and ordered the ZL1s.
Pretty lame. Honestly splash guards should be a factory option IMHO.
I put rock guards on mine from day one. Still have rock chips. I don't think there is anyway to completely avoid it.
No definitely not a way to prevent it 100% but I'm sure you would have had more without them
$100 is too expensive To protect your $90,000 car that’s not Shwayze
I agree that it's worth the price (that's why I still go it) but I don't agree that it's worth the actual material. $100 for a thin piece of plastic is overpriced. Just because it goes on an expensive car doesn't mean it needs to be expensive
@@SchwayZ That’s true but you don’t cut off your nose to spite your face
