Look, we get it – we all know hot rodding is about building cars to your own tastes, whatever they may be. But in this case, please consider using this clip as a cautionary tale rather than an inspirational one.

First reported by GT Spirit, the clip is brought to us by Alejandro Salomon who along with having a customized Porsche 918 and a Pagani Huayra 730S in his stable of cars, has also procured the white Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in the video.

In the clip Salomon is showing off his recently installed (and admittedly explained as a work in progress) Liberty Walk wide-body kit for his Challenger. Salomon spends a bit of time explaining the hidden costs behind doing the modification, including the expense of having the parts shipped in from Japan. He continues to explain that “the pieces will not fit perfectly” and will need to be cut to fit, concluding that your installer is the one that’s going to either make the car look the way you want it to or turn it into a horrible hack job.

He also points out that you’ll need to put the Challenger on air bags so that your Hellcat won’t “look ridiculous”. Never mind the factory suspension geometry, rebound, compression or any of the other elements of the car’s handling – stance is clearly the top priority here. “It’s touching the friggin’ floor”, explains Salomon, which in our book is not actually a feature but rather a problem. Hey, to each their own.

But before you go taking a hacksaw to your new 707 horsepower muscle car, you might consider the fact that the lab coats at SRT probably know a bit more about mechanical engineering that the people who make body kits and air bag suspension systems do. Something to think about before going bananas at Pep Boys with your new ride. Or not?
