Vicrez installation case study
2021 Durango R/T widebody installation: a Vicrez project case study
The video title refers to a Durango Hellcat installation, but the presenter identifies the actual demonstration vehicle as a 2021 Durango R/T. That distinction matters: the team explains which exterior pieces it changes to support the widebody configuration. This is an exterior installation example, not evidence of a drivetrain or performance conversion.

The recording opens with a comparison of the VZ102524, VZ102525, VZ102526 and VZ102527 configurations. It describes VZ102527 with flares, rocker panels and a front lip, and discusses additional extensions and front-end pieces for the demonstration vehicle. Use a written component list for your specific trim; the similar product numbers do not describe interchangeable scopes.
What to carry into your installation brief
Confirm the starting vehicle before choosing the kit
Source video at 0:35The presenter compares the kit configurations and then identifies the vehicle as a 2021 R/T. At 2:38, the team explains the existing lip and the surrounding original parts that will be changed. A car that already has some conversion parts can require a different order from an otherwise similar stock vehicle.
Ask your installer: Has the installer checked my VIN, trim, bumper and existing modifications against a complete parts list? Which supporting pieces are included, and which must be ordered separately?
Account for extensions and rocker-panel work
Source video at 4:38The team replaces fender extensions and reuses their clips. At 8:34, it installs the driver-side rocker panel and explains the clips and retained bolts. These supporting pieces are installed before the main flare work progresses.
Ask your installer: Does the estimate include removing and replacing the extensions and rockers, checking clips and fasteners, and matching the finish on any exposed areas?
Resolve sensors and wiring before final attachment
Source video at 10:48The recording discusses the front sensor and reflector before flare attachment. At 15:30, the presenter explains that the sensor was left in its original socket on this build and discusses wiring reach for a different position. This is a vehicle-specific decision that should be resolved before the finished panels are secured.
Ask your installer: Where will each sensor and reflector sit, are suitable wiring extensions needed, and what functional checks or calibration does the vehicle manufacturer require after this work?
Check moving panels as the body pieces come together
Source video at 19:09The team fits a flare piece on the door separately from the surrounding pieces. At 21:12, it opens the door to check the installation, then finishes the remaining side pieces and repeats the work on the other side. The front lip is completed near the end of the recording.
Ask your installer: Will the shop check door operation, gaps, attachment security, sensor function and tire clearance as part of the final handover, and record any unresolved work?
Documented outcome
The final sequence presents the widebody exterior with both sides assembled and the front lip installed. The source does not provide a documented labor invoice, total workshop time or independent sensor-test results. Those items should be agreed and recorded for your own project.
Evidence and scope
This case study draws on Vicrez's video, its description and caption track. Historical fitment statements in the 2023 recording should not be used as a current compatibility guarantee. The work is not attributed to any featured directory shop, and no owner participation or inquiry permission is implied.
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.
