Fresh SRT-8 300C

[rvolvor]

i like it....using all quality shit too....anything done motor-wise...other than the catback?

[Simans82]

mmmmm corsa exhaust....the best sounding system on the 6.1

on another note, if you ever brought that into the shop I work at to have something done....I would murder you; those skirts make it look like it would be a pain in the ass to get the lift arms under the car....but you are on air...

I definitely agree on the Corsa comment, and that's coming from someone who's owned nearly all of the others. lol In regards to the skirts, I would definitely have a lot of problems if I was static.

I was able to get a straight shot of the new front end also. Here's a good rundown of the few changes it went through in the last 6 months:

Factory:



Grip Grill with shaved emblem, shaved license plate holes, shaved headlight washers, colormatched sidemarkers:



Factory 300C bumper:



C bumper with the same grill, added TZD lower lip, and chrome bumper caps. Changes coming soon.

Looks real nice. Good job

[Simans82]

Stay with me here... there's a LOT more to accomplish before calling this complete. The only real "new" additions are the painted front lip and skirts, painted A pillar pieces (reference the previous pics for the piece that used to be black plastic that broke the nice line of the A pillar), and (not pictured) my Dakota Digital gauge holder was shot the factory Bright Silver. Things are coming along well. New pics to come soon.

found this old pic. one of my favs ever. Hope you don't mind me posting Simon.

No worries man! I don't think anyone here has seen any other "versions" of my car aside from the SRT Reps. I think the new wheel setup will please many here considering the size/fitment.

Ding ding ding!

Winner!

I very rarely see a 300 done proper and clean. I think the Job Designs car is done somewhat nice and is one of the other few 300 I like but then the wheels kill it along with the Lambo doors. I have the same problem with my LS. Every one I see has obnoxious chrome this and that with gigantic chrome wheels that look like snow flakes some kid cut out of a folded piece of paper.

This is nice and simple. These big American sedans can have potential if you know when to stop and keep it clean cut.

I do like the bumper swap but I personally **** chrome and would do away with it one way or another.

Thanks for your input! I think the line between gaudy and clean are pretty clear when it comes to LX's. Some people just have it, and some people continue to take it too far. I'm finding myself stuck somewhere in the middle, but I can promise I'm doing my best to keep things looking clean.

In regards to the chrome on the C bumper; I at first wanted to get rid of it, but after looking at the final setup, it's beginning to tie in better than I thought it would. I can get away with the small accents for now due to my car being silver, but as soon as the final few stages are complete I think it'll almost become necessary to keep the accents around. The nice thing about this bumper versus my previous is that you can remove these caps by simply popping them out. I'll most likely start with swapping them out for caps without washer nozzles, and then go from there.

The car needs some paintwork, so I'll make my final decisions before respraying the car.

It's crazy how EASY it is to have a clean 300... mainly due to the fact that many are done so poorly. lol

Ding ding ding!

300C=so classy, yet very passively aggressive. Great wheel/stance choice!!!

Here are some updates... still a long way to go. I've been debating posting any progress pics, but that's half the fun, right?

Last time it'll look like an SRT... :/



Familiar sight:



This may be the point when people begin to scratch their heads. lol Factory C bumper. I had a 2007 SRT8 front bumper with the molded lip and center vents. I needed to swap out my bumper for the next round of body work due to the molded lower lip. After some thought, I'll be keeping the chrome strips below the headlights, but will be replacing the strips with one's that don't have the headlight washers. This will help tie everything together after the final few reveals occur:



More updates to come this week.

Here's a mock-up of the front. I'll wait to post pics of the front 1/4 view until the front and sides are painted. There's some serious fabrication going on with the rear, so I'll have to wait until things are completely finished and painted to post pics. Due to me wanting to keep my Corsa exhaust as-is, the end result will be a diffuser style rear. Should be interesting as it'll truly be a one-off design.



Got some more of the mock-up done today. Still a long way to go, but as it stands now:

The front and sides have been completely fitted and are ready for prep/paint. They will be painted the factory bright silver along with the front windshield pillar trim. The roof gutters came in from the dealer and are being sprayed the same jet black as the roof. The rear is a work in progress, and will take a few weeks to complete and have painted. As it stands now, there's quite a bit of work to get the rear looking "OEM". This will by far be the most unique part of the lip kit.

The last step is on it's way in the back of a brown truck. Just waiting on everything to get here to complete the project. Looking forward to it! I'll post more pics along the way.

I'd shoot for low300's look... lol Now THAT'S some real customizing. His car is absolutely sick.

Uhhh....color scheme. He spent like 6k on his fenders alone. That's WAY outta my budget. 22's with custom offsets are pretty much the top of my price plan. A little out of it actually. My 350z, 240, and Neon were all WAAAAAAAAY less expensive to customize. Course, I was single w/no kids back then too. Sux to roll hard I guess.

Had to come back in here to gawk



Car looks great with the black roof
