Just wanted to share what will probably be the only major visual changes I make to my 300C. I bought MSRT8 wheels from Mark (FreebirdSRT) - perfect condition, easy transaction, great guy - and also added a lip spoiler to the back.
I'm not trying to be a poser, I just really like the look of a super-clean five-spoke wheel, and IMHO, the magnum srt wheels are about as clean as they come. I will always be quick to tell anyone who asks that it is NOT, unfortunately, an SRT8 automobile. I hope someday to work toward one of those!
Anyway, the car turned out EXACTLY as I was hoping for. I have always loved the look of the Startech 300C. Seeing a photo of it is what made me fall in love with the C to begin with, and after seeing it, I started my hunt for what would eventually be my Brilliant Black Beauty.
I had read some previous posts regarding DD1's silver 300C with MSRT8 wheels (he doesn't have them on anymore, so not worried about offending!). A lot of people seemed to think that they were too "chunky" to match the elegant design of the 300C. For some reason, I think the silver color of the car didn't work well with the wheels, because in looking at those pics, I would totally agree. But black seems to be a different story! I'm thrilled with the look, and I think the color of the car seems to make all the difference in the world. I've had them on less than a day and I've gotten broken necks and tons of kind words already.
Anyway, I love it and get so excited everytime I walk out to my car, and from the advice a lot of you guys have given me in the past, that's all that matters! I hope you like it to:
