Firkins CDJR
Stock parts only get you so far. Whether you’re running a 2011-2023 Charger R/T or eyeing the new 2026 Charger SIXPACK, the right accessories change how the car sounds and handles every time you turn the key. At Firkins CDJR, we stock genuine Mopar parts and Direct Connection upgrades built specifically for these two generations, and our certified techs install them correctly the first time.
Local car meets and coastal driving routes have made Bradenton a solid spot for Charger owners building their cars out. If you’re searching for Dodge Charger accessories Bradenton drivers actually trust, Firkins CDJR is a family-owned dealership that’s served this community for more than 70 years from our location at 2700 1st Street.
Our factory-trained technicians train continuously on both the outgoing 7th-generation Charger and the all-new SIXPACK, which matters when you’re deciding where to buy Mopar performance parts FL enthusiasts can rely on for fit and warranty coverage.
The 7th-generation Charger, launched in 2011, has one of the deepest Mopar accessory catalogs on the market. Categories cover exhaust and cold air intakes, suspension and brakes, wheels, exterior and interior trim, lighting, remote start, electronics and audio, and cargo and towing gear, plus all-weather floor mats. Whether you’re building out 2023 Dodge Charger accessories or upgrading an R/T from a few years back, the parts are grouped by function so it’s easy to prioritize.
A cat-back exhaust upgrade is one of the most popular Dodge Charger upgrades we install. Built from T304 stainless steel with mandrel-bent tubing, Torca clamps, and polished tips, it delivers a deeper tone along with a genuine bump in horsepower and torque. Pair that with a cold air intake for 3.6L engines (2011-2018 models), which boosts engine airflow by roughly 20%, and you’ve got a car that sounds and pulls the way it should on a Sunshine Skyway Bridge run at sunset.
Handling upgrades make a real difference on the curves and lane changes along the Tamiami Trail. A front and rear strut tower brace, built from heavy-duty steel with all mounting hardware included, tightens up chassis rigidity and sharpens steering response. For owners chasing a lower stance, a coil-over lowering kit can drop ride height by up to 3 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear, and fits 2011-2023 RWD Charger models, excluding the 392, Scat Pack, and SRT Hellcat trims. These are the kind of Dodge Charger R/T accessories that transform daily handling, not just looks.
Florida heat and humidity take a toll on interiors, so Suncoast-area owners tend to add cabin air purifiers and door sill guards, along with trunk fans and all-weather floor mats, to keep things livable. A vehicle cover protects paint from constant UV exposure, which matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.
Window tint is another must, but Florida law sets clear limits: front side windows require at least 28% VLT, rear side and rear windows require at least 15% VLT, front reflectance can’t exceed 25%, and rear windows are capped at 35% reflectance. A transparent sunscreen strip is allowed at the top of the windshield as long as it stays out of the driver’s sightline. Our team installs tint that meets these standards while keeping the cabin noticeably cooler.
The 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK accessories lineup is built around an entirely different platform, so nothing from the 2011-2023 catalog carries over. The SIXPACK runs a 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six, with AWD standard and a button to shift into 100% RWD. The R/T trim produces around 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque with a 168 mph top speed, while the Scat Pack trim jumps to roughly 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, hitting 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds with 30 psi of peak boost. Both come with an 8-speed automatic, Line Lock, Launch Control, and available Brembo brakes. The SIXPACK badge shows up on both 2-door and 4-door body styles, so trim alone won’t tell you which generation you’re shopping.
Direct Connection and Mopar offer a stainless steel performance cat-back exhaust engineered specifically for the H/O engine variant, plus a cold air intake available for both standard and H/O builds. A performance suspension spring kit lowers ride height by 1 inch for a tighter stance and sharper cornering. For serious power gains, the Direct Connection authorized tune boosts output on the H/O variant and stays backed by Mopar warranty, unlike unauthorized aftermarket tunes that can put your coverage at risk.
Styling options for the SIXPACK are extensive. Brass Monkey five-spoke wheels in a 21×11-inch fitment give the car real road presence, and orange Brembo calipers add a sharp contrast under those wheels. A carbon fiber front splitter and rear decklid spoiler, available in gloss or satin finish, complete the aero look, while vented fenders and Satin Black strobe bodyside graphics round out the exterior.
Inside, pedal covers and all-weather floor mats handle daily practicality, and the same Florida tint regulations apply here as they do to the older generation. If you’re ready to see the SIXPACK in person, browse our new Dodge Charger inventory in Bradenton and talk through which accessories fit your build.
Genuine OEM Dodge Charger parts are factory-matched for correct fit and preserved resale value. Direct Connection parts go a step further: SRT-engineered and rated for street, strip, or track use, all backed by Mopar warranty.
Aftermarket parts can look tempting on price, but fitment issues and voided warranty coverage are real risks, especially with tunes and electronics. If you’re comparing Mopar parts against generic aftermarket options, that warranty protection is often what tips the scale for anyone planning to keep the car long-term.
Performance parts, electronics, and window tint all carry legal and warranty considerations that make professional installation worth it, particularly here in Florida where tint compliance is strictly enforced. Simpler items like floor mats or pedal covers are fine for DIY, but exhaust, suspension, tunes, and wiring belong in the hands of certified technicians. Our team at Firkins CDJR has installed Dodge Charger accessories across both generations for years, and we know exactly how each part fits.
