Let’s be honest—the new Charger has had a rough introduction to the Mopar faithful. Between the controversial new body lines and the heavy focus on the EV launch, it’s been a tough sell for the purists. But with the gas-powered SIXPACK engines finally hitting the order books, we’re seeing the first signs of traditional muscle car DNA returning to the lineup.
Today, Dodge announced they are leaning into that heritage with new factory-customization options for the 2026 Charger Scat Pack and R/T models. If you are planning to pick up one of the new Hurricane-powered options, you can now order them with a little more visual attitude straight from the factory.
The “Satin Black” Treatment First up is a new Satin Black Hood Graphic. For $395, this adds a high-contrast accent to the sculpted power dome (the center area of the hood). It’s a classic Mopar look that breaks up the body color and highlights the lines of the front end. It’s available now for the SIXPACK models and gives the car a much more aggressive, two-tone aesthetic that reminds us of the T/A and Daytona packages of the past.
The Return of the Fratzog (with a Twist) Dodge is also rolling out Fratzog Dual Stripes for the gas-powered lineup. We know the “Fratzog” logo has been the face of the new “electric muscle” era, but Dodge is porting it over to the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) models as a heritage play.
These aren’t just solid vinyl strips. The stripes feature a repeating pattern of the Fratzog logo inside the stripe itself, along with red trim accents. They run $1,695 and are designed to work on both steel roofs and the full-glass roof options. Interestingly, if you have the glass roof, the pattern is designed to be visible from the inside of the car looking out.
Mopar Accessories Ramp Up Matt McAlear, Dodge’s CEO, noted that this is “just the beginning” of the factory personalization program. Mopar is gearing up to release more exterior bits, including bodyside graphics, bright pedal covers, and—most importantly—cat-back exhaust kits to help that Hurricane engine find its voice.
The Bottom Line Dodge is clearly trying to bridge the gap between the new design language and the customization culture that made the previous generation Charger and Challenger so popular.
We want to hear from you: Does a blackout hood and a stripe package help the new body style grow on you, or are you still not sold on the 2026 look? Let us know in the comments.
