    Thumbs up Odd Question: How different are Charger and 300C rear windows?

    I am sick of the rear window spoiler on my Charger. It was cheap and flimsy when I got it, and really havent liked it from the start. However, I think I can get my hands on an ABS plastic one that fits a 300C, and its much more pronounced and defined. However, I dont wanna pull the trigger on it if someone out there KNOWS it aint gonna fit. EVen if its close I could probably live with it, just dont know how far off its gonna be.

    Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance.

    The back windows are identical.

    No reason you can't put the other spoiler on from a 300 on your charger.

    Are you sure? When I helped wash my buddies charger a few weeks ago, I could have sworn the charger window went higher before the roof sheet metal started and it seemed more curved than my 300's.

    I haven't parked my bee and my 300 next to each other, but I swear they are the same.....I can't imagine them being that different to make it unusable though.

    My VIP rear window wing was off quite a bit and I managed to persuade it to fit just fine.

    Guys, first and foremost, thanks for the info! I was worried I might never get a response.... :(

    Anyways.... I cant imagine that either the 300 or the Charger is much wider across than the other, so Id say that fitment should be fine. My concern was the cruve along the top of the back glass where it meets the roof.... If that didnt line up to well, it might certainly look a little goofy on there. EDIT: On the Charger rear window, the glass curves along the seem where it meets the roof.... its not straight across. Not sure how the 300 is though...

    And yeah Steve, I know we could MAKE it fit, lol....

    If anyone gets a chance to compare with a 300C, I would REALLY appreciate it. The rear window wing looks just like the VIP style one that they dont make anymore. My only fear is that when these things were marketed, they never listed that it could fit on a Charger as well, so that worries me a bit.

    I dont know, can anyone help an LXer out? It would be most appreciated!

    Doesn't Scarbs have a spoiler on the Black Cherry? I'm gettin senile in my old age, but I thought he did. I'll take a close look at the difference between Damon's car and mine and let you know if there is much difference Pat.

    I had a VIP one for a while it didnt fit to my liking so i sold it to a brother Deep Lava guy in Canada.
    Most people that have the VIP have had to work them a bit to get them to look good. Hemmissy and PPP's both look good but they did some work on them.

    This is the vip edtion one on elite 22's car.


    This pic is VIP300c inc's looks a little short to me.

    Pat, the windows are different. Here are some pictures

    Damon's 300C:



    My Charger:



    Side by Side:



    The curve of the glass at the top is slightly different. The glass appears to start further up the roof line on a charger than on the 300. The top line across the car on a 300 is curved more than on the Charger. Hope this helps.

    Kevin, great follow thru on that one bud! Thanks for all the info. Guess pulling the tirgger on that 300 rear window spoiler is out of the question..... Oh well, back to the drawing board. I gotta find something different though, the one I have now is getting rather annoying! Man, I wish VIP was still around, they made a Charger one. So did ABG, and they are out of business as well. WTF....
