not my car, but you get the idea, I 'shopped the pillar in, what do you guys think, I always wondered what a thirdgen would look like with that pillar instead of the hatch and other shenanigans

Reminds me of a 2+2 Datsun S30.

Re: How would a thirdgen look with a charger B Pillar, good or bad?

I'm surprised at how good that looks. It gives the rear of the car a somewhat 1st- or 5th-gen coupe look. I'm not sure it matches with the pointy 3rd-gen nose, but I still like it.

Re: How would a thirdgen look with a charger B Pillar, good or bad?

I would move the pillar forward a bit (to shorten the roof).Then put the rear window inboard (just past the seatback), so the roof overlaps it.Plus make a trunk out of the decklid.Does look good though........do it!

I really like it. Would take a ton of work though. If you do it, make sure you post a full write up. I'd like to see how it works out.
