2012 Dodge Charger Body Kits & Ground Effects

I bought this trunk lid for a few reasons. First, my factory one was rusted out and a new factory one unpainted is double the cost of this one. Second, I wanted it for the look and style of carbon fiber. Unfortunately, there is A LOT of work needed to get this to go onto the car. There are no holes for the middle part of the racetrack light, the wire harness or the carpet liner, so it all needs to be drilled out. The 3rd brake light does not fit like it does on the stock trunk lid due to the thickness of the CF, so you'll need to buy some extra weather stripping to waterproof the light. You also can't can't keep the factory springs at the stock tension as it's too much for this trunk lid, so you have to figure out a way to release some tension on the springs and that will also mean that you're going to need to make a prop rod for the trunk. Now to the fitment issues. The area from the top of the racetrack light to the curve of the trunk where it goes from vertical to horizontal is physically taller than the stock lid, so if you want the racetrack lights to line up, the trunk lid is also going to stick up past the fenders. Finally, the top of the trunk is very flexible, so putting the stock spoiler on probably isn't going to work well in the long run as wind will probably make it vibrate on the trunk. And with that flex, you can see it's wavy on sunny days. It's not all bad though. It does really look good on the car even with it sticking up a bit. It seals up just fine so there's no water issues in the trunk. You can solve the spoiler issue by getting a Xenon spoiler (which I have) or a hellcat spoiler. The trunk lid is strong enough for those. Would I buy it again? Yes. I just would have liked to have been prepared for these issues before I bought it.
