    (bad) Photoshop of the look Im going for this summer, what do you think?



    Hi guys, so I already have the rims, drop and red mirrors. I have a chrome Grip Grill that I'll be getting rid of to put a Base 300 grill instead, with center painted black. VIP front lip will be installed, as well as SRT trunk lid lip. I'll also have the trunk shaved.

    Parts already ordered or received:

    -set of 4 door handles (all rear to get rid of keyhole)
    -base 300 grill
    -SRT trunk lid spoiler
    -VIP front lip

    Need to be ordered within 2 weeks:
    -black lower window trim
    -Black ops challenger hood with eyelids
    -Black housing HID headlights with hyperwhite halo's

    What you think of the hood to fender stripes? Just like those, nothing written under the stripes...
    Also thinking about going with black roof... so that would mean black center grill, black fender stripes and black roof... I think it could flow pretty well!

    Only chrome remaining will be around the front grill and the insert on rear bumper, that will be swapped either for a SRT or Grip rear bumper later on..

    I'm also in the process of getting a used Getrag 3.91 rearend with 226mm axles and Blue top solenoids... last thing performance wise will be the new intake manifold prototype when its getting available.

    Sorrry for the bad quality pic, it was taken with my old cellphone and ''photoshopped'' with... paint lol!

    Thanks for any feedback/suggestions!

    Have a great one,

    Sebastien

    Consider doing Plasti Dip on the chrome pieces, that way you can always go back to stock. Flat red would also look awesome.. I am a huge fan of Flat paints. Stripes look good too as you don't see them often on a 300.

    Ultimately, what ever you feel is your style, go for it!

    I think I would delete the pole coming out of the top.

    Delete the pole and shrink those truck tires to a respectable size and you will have a winner.

    lol thanks guys, I kinda liked the pole idea but I guess I'll forget about it then...

    as for flat paint, never tought of flat red but I'm also a big fan of flat, how hard is maintenance/cleaning?

    and drift, I'm running 275-40-20 on 4 corners, what would you suggest? I'm in the market for new one! thanks guys

    ^Not sure how hard it is to maintain, but I do know they make red Plasti-Dip (which is a flat/matte finish). You could try those on your chrome trim just to see what it looks like.

    wrap it in flat red vinyl.

    way easier to maintain than paint.

    any idea on how much a shop would usually charge to wrap the entire car in vinyl? also, is it durable?

    IN retrospect, if you go with a thinner tire, you'll have to lower quite a bit to make up for it. I don't know if you'd wanna do that (I would but our styles may differ). Just remove the pole.

    yeah I'd love to also, do you think KW V2 coilovers would do the trick? I dont wanna go with an air ride, so what would be the best to go a bit lower?
