While the Dodge Challenger may be long-in-the-tooth, there's no denying the muscle car looks every bit as menacing as it did when first launched in 2008. With a broad model lineup catering to many tastes, it's no wonder the retro-styled coupe surpassed the Mustang as the country's best-selling muscle car last year.

Even though it has an appealing entry point of just $29,450, the desirable Challenger Hellcat derivatives are priced out of reach for the average consumer. Those wanting the added style and performance of the range-topping versions had no choice but to settle, until now. Dodge has released a catalog of approved accessories that owners of 2015 or newer Challengers will be sure to love.

For $1,995, the Challenger can be fitted with an SRT Hellcat Front Fascia Kit. Not only does it enhance the style of the Challenger, but it allows for superior engine cooling and downforce. The manufacturer does note this eliminates the factory fog lamps. A 2019 Hellcat Hood is also available. Priced at $1,495, the dual-snorkel hood provides an 18% greater airflow rate than the 2018 Hellcat assembly, when paired with an air catcher headlamp and inlet.

Those looking for the presence afforded by a widebody kit will be pleased to know the Challenger Widebody Fender Flare Kit is also available, for $2,495. Aside from more aggressive styling, the widened body allows performance-minded owners to fit wider tires. Instructions, mounting hardware, and templates are included for the necessary cutting and drilling of body panels.

Aside from a bevy of other accessories, lightweight aluminum wheels are also on offer. Replete with "Mopar" and "Lightweight" embossing, Dodge says the featherweight items offer up to an eight-pound saving per wheel. Yours for just $675.

What's more, all these accessories are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. While it's great to see a car brand offering upgrades to its older models, we can't imagine Hellcat or Widebody owners are particularly pleased to see their model-specific add-ons being offered to lesser models.

At least those customers can revel in the superb 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8. Sadly, Dodge has quietly decided to drop the six-speed manual transmission option (at least for the short term), which should disappoint some enthusiast drivers. Sadder still is the brand's decision to cull the Hellcat motor altogether, as Stellantis clearly has no place for the thirsty V8 in its electrified future. So, if you want one, you had better act fast.
