Con - If you buy a WB, you have to tell your parents you’re gay, which would be awkward if they didn’t already know I’m sure….:p

When the WB first came out, I hated it bad, worse than my Ex, and I hate her a lot.

Those godawful flares tacked on like some 3rd grader's bad attempt at car design. And the price of the WB option didn't/doesn't make sense, especially when you can essentially get the same tires and wheels under the standard body, for far less money.

I still don't understand why they couldn't have integrated the design. (OK, I do, but it still pisses me off - see above for how badly)

As others have mentioned, be prepared for rock pits, some have stated that even with two layers of PPF, they still are getting pits.

With that said, all of it, I'm on the list at my local dealership for a MY23 when the order banks open up. I will be tracking the car, road circuits, so there is a functional practicality to my choice.

Sometimes you LET the ones you love the most, hurt you the worst...

Yikes Bull....I never knew you had an ex...a lot of our friends are on their 2nd wife...(some on their 3rd)...when were all hangin out..I love hearin the stories of how bad my buddies got crucified in their divorce....and what they have to pay in maintenance..and child support....NYS is the most unfriendly male state in the union...it is really unbelievable...so...how bad did you get wacked..I could use a chuckle...:giggle::giggle:;)

This is a safe place @BULL, you don’t have to be so defensive.

Never was a fan of the WB, but is has grown on me over the years and I think the stance does look kind of mean. But I prefer the slimmer Jessica Simpson; and the wife like the NB so that settles it.

The question is, which one do you have a better shot of getting?

Zero cons. Ive had standard body and WB. I’d never go back to standard body unless that was all there was.
Same here. I’ve had both too. Love the WB looks and wider tires. LOL..Doesn’t help traction. Which makes it even more fun.

Unless you get a good wheel tire setup.

If your tow vehicle is a dually, you'll have matching fenders. That must be worth something.

Now, on a Charger I actually prefer the dually fenders. But then again, those didn't have anything to lose in the looks department.
And the same drag coefficient

The flares are just more cheap plastic that looks like what it is.......... a total after thought from the design department.

Also good to have if you collect rock chips as a hobby.

Think of Jessica Simpsion as a Hellcat. Which looks better??

My criminal history is none of your business.

Where do these questions come from? It's like the ability to have an opinion has been drummed out of people. Hey, I'm considering buying chocolate ice cream, thoughts? Pros? Cons? Just buy it and put a photo on your MySpace page so all your friends can be jelly.
