New look,,wheels that is.

[dewm1]

Hi guys,,, I wanted my Limited to look a bit different than every other one out there, and I'm not a fan of 20's or 22's so this is what I came up with.
What do you think?

Very nice!

[Kuldip]

looks good. those look like sxt rims from a magnum, with the blacked out panels... am i wrong? if so , dude i wanna try that on my sxy wheels

[JamminWagon]

Looks sweet dewm1!

Dang it, hahah, I never gotten off of my butt to go to the vinyl shop here with templates. There are some out there already made up but with the carbon fiber look.

They are Magnum SXT rims with blacked out panels.
A little paint in the right spots,,,,,,,,,,

[Identity Crisis]

Nice Job. From an SXT owner I likey alot.

Ok,,, some of you seen my DLR 300 with the stock grill that I painted a metallic grey color,,,, it doesn't show grey in the picture, but if you seen it at the M&G,,,,,


This is what I'm thinking of doing


What do you think?, and a mesh in behind it?

[TwoTone]

Wheels look great and, yes, I love the grill idea... Dunno if it would even need the mesh though, I think leaving just the horizontal bars with nothing behind them would look prefect.
Post pics of whatever you decide to do!

I was thinking the mesh to protect the rad fins,,, I've already got some dings that I've straightened and repainted. So maybe a 1/4" mesh painted black. Should "disappear" if done semi gloss or matte?

Yea, good call... painted black would look fine. I was just thinking that a chrome or silver mesh in behind there wouldn't go with the overall look of your car at all.

Not feelin the wheels, but love the color of your car!

very nice. also nice to see another person on the forum from airdrie.

Hi dewm1! At first I wasn't too sure about the horizontal grill, but after I looked at it for a bit, I think that would look good. Besides it would be a fairly cheap mod, that again would set you apart from the others out there. I think the mesh would look good too IF it was black or DLR, but a silver color mesh would be too much (obvious, noticeable) and take away from the look you have going on the front end.

I vote for "give it a shot", and what's the worst that comes from it? Afew wasted hours modding, and you can probably find a stock grill from the thousands of members who have replaced theirs, and put it back to stock, or try again.

P.S. - that's a nice lookin' car in the background of your pictures...something familiar about it...hmmmm

I say do the mod as well. Anything to make your ride look different from the who knows how many other 300's is awesome. Great idea !! For some your wheels are not there thing, but really looking at them in person I thought the idea behind the wheel was awesome. Looking like small spokes when really it was the SXT large spoke with painted inserts.

As I told you at the meet, I love the wheels, very unique. I think you should definitely black out the vertical lines on the grille, it looks sharp! As far as the mesh goes, unless your going to go black with it, it will really take away from the look of the car, JMHO.
