Vicrez installation case study
Challenger VZ101768 widebody installation: a Vicrez project case study
Vicrez's installation team documents a Challenger widebody conversion using kit VZ101768. The recording follows bumper assembly and flare installation through the finished bodywork. It is a useful example of the decisions that belong in a shop's estimate before parts arrive.

Watch the original installation

The source identifies front bumper VZ101767 and fender flares VZ101488 as the components of kit VZ101768. The exact model year and trim of the demonstration car are not established here. Give your installer your own vehicle details and current product information; a model range in a video title is not a fitment approval for every trim.
What to carry into your installation brief
Separate paint work from the fitting demonstration
Source video at 1:06The presenter explains that the parts were painted in advance for the demonstration. Later, the team leaves a lower piece unpainted to match the rocker area. The finished appearance therefore reflects choices made before and during assembly.
Ask your installer: Which pieces will be painted, which will remain textured or unpainted, and does the written estimate include preparation, color matching and test fitting before final finish?
Inventory transferred hardware and the selected configuration
Source video at 3:54The team transfers bumper brackets from the original bumper. At 9:21, it distinguishes a bumper-only project from the widebody conversion when discussing side markers. The parts list depends on the configuration being installed.
Ask your installer: Which original brackets, markers and fasteners must be reusable, and which replacements are included in my exact order? Ask the shop to inspect these before committing to the assembly date.
Include preparation and bracket positioning in the scope
Source video at 7:39The recording covers preparation of the flare bonding surfaces, followed by matching brackets to the correct pieces. At 12:36, the team positions the flares and brackets on the vehicle before final attachment. These are distinct tasks beyond simply unpacking the kit.
Ask your installer: How will the shop check panel alignment and mounting locations, and what attachment method will it use for this vehicle? Have the installer document any proposed drilling or permanent changes before work starts.
Treat wheels and release timing as separate decisions
Source video at 18:00The team describes a holding period after attaching the flares. Near 20:14 it says the car will retain its existing wheels temporarily, with a wheel upgrade planned for another video. The body installation and final wheel configuration are separate stages in this example.
Ask your installer: What curing or holding time does the chosen attachment system require, and how will the shop check tire clearance and the final wheel setup before the car is released?
Documented outcome
The closing walkthrough presents the completed widebody bodywork with the existing wheels still fitted. The presenter reports roughly six to eight hours for this demonstration. That is a report about this recorded job, not an installed-price quote or a schedule for another vehicle; the parts were already painted and later wheel work was separate.
Evidence and scope
This case study is based on Vicrez's own video and caption track. It does not identify a participating directory shop, establish a labor invoice or document long-term performance. Current kit contents and fitment must be checked with Vicrez and the installer.
This is a planning reference. Your installer should use current product instructions and vehicle-specific service information for the work.
Build a comparable written estimate
Record the exact parts, preparation, finish, transferred hardware and handover checks so every shop is quoting the same job.
