I know my buddy has a 06 charger and that is somewhat a pain in the butt when it comes to doing oil changes.

I'm not sure those cars had belly panels from the factory although EPC does show something in that section. All of the gasoline models I've seen in the junkyard have had their panels removed.
If you use a topsider for oil changes there is no need to remove the panels. In the diesel models, at least, only the front panel (4 screws) needs removal to drain the engine oil.
