Has anyone installed the widebody on their regular body Challenger?

I ordered a replacement fender flare from https://www.eastcoastmoparts.com/ they did ask for proof of ownership, insurance card was sufficient.

After pulling a rear flare off, I wouldn’t try to convert one. The quarter panels are significantly different. D846A7C7-1CE4-4A5F-8507-EA5C11680701.jpeg

I had seen the front fender had that bulge and predrilled holes but wasn't sure the rear had that added on bulge too.
How is that used? I'd think it would be fine to just Sawzall the existing lower fender lip up and then mount the flare using the holes drilled in the upper radius shown in your picture.

Drilling all the holes in the quarter panel is plenty of opportunity to mess up. The 2 lower clips would have nothing to attach too. The “right” way would be to replace the quarter panels, which are welded on.

Having paint modifications done. No engine performance adapted but the insurance company wants to see it in all it's beauty.
Sure...so then they can dump you...like your last 3 wives

This is what the Phillips Flares look like on my car. 93
I'm just still not there. If I'm doing it I'm adding something that gives me great clearance on the front too and that gives me room for more compression travel than my current fender lips.
They do look good though.
