    Hey all, I just bought Johan's (Diablosport) Silver 300 SRT. It will be my new DD, and the mods he's already done for power, are AWESOME. And it's already on KW coilovers. So I got all that covered. I'm not gonna mess with any of that. Upon delivery of the vehicle, she's gonna get the BT treatment under the hood, full debadge/demold and a paint correction. But other than that, what are some good "clean it up, make it simple" cosmetic mods for the 300?? Clear sidemarkers, mad eyes, I've heard of these things, but don't know who sells them, or what other mods there are. I NEED YOUR ADVICE. The only thing I can think of is a black roof. He's already got a Grip Grille & tinted/painted tails. PLEASE HELP 300 OWNERS! WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE COSMETIC MODS?? Interior or Exterior!! Thanks for any help! :)

    The stripes are coming off. These are the only pics I have as of now, hope this helps. Underhood is stock looking except for the LMI CAI & catchcan. So an ABS cover and painted coolant reservoir are in order. Other thoughts??

    Just do under the hood... DON'T TOUCH THE OUTSIDE! it's just perfect right now... well, ok, de-badge and de-mold and do something with those side lenses.

    P.S. those aren't stripes. It's the SRT insignia.

    I know that silly. I just don't think it looks right on the 300 is all. I'm not talking about going "hog wild" Dave, you know my taste. Very simple. Here's what I was thinking: Black roof, black mirrors, black grille, clear side markers, demold, remove "SRT insignia" lol, wider tires (Nitto NT05, 275/40) on all corners, and that's where it ends. Looking for other advice. :)

    Seriously though. If you're going to throw black on it you really have to do it carefully/right or it's going to look tacky. It really has to fit/flow together to look like a two-tone paint scheme. Otherwise it's about the same effect as just sticking an unpainted carbon fiber hood on it with nothing else.

    I'll pass.....
    Yeah, lol. I know dude. The MAIN ingredient in all those changes was my wife. Just trying to keep her happy, while satisfying my urges as well. Make sense?? A LOT of those posts/threads came from our miscommunication on what we should do. I'm totally happy now. We were just talking the other day. I've had the Charger for over 4 years now, and the Jeep almost three. I've NEVER EVER kept cars that long!!! Apparently my Mopar urges within seem to reign supreme. But now that everything's "settled" I can focus the mods full steam ahead. I'm trying to get all I can get done, before we have a little guy late next year. SO GLAD I never sold either the Charger or the Jeep. I truly love those vehicles so much. Very eager to welcome the new 300 as well. Thanks Larry. :bigwink:

    Hell no.....at least not that I know of, lmao!!!
    That's why when it was time to look, I just took over, she has no idea how to shop for that stuff. First she wanted a used BMW X5, then she wanted a Chally, then she said that she didn't want two doors, then she just decided (again) she'd take the Jeep. And finally I just threw down the decision to get this 300 as soon as it popped up. Four doors, and fast!
    Johan did a GREAT job chosing the power mods, so you know that bitch is tuned purrrrrfect. And did some very smart, basic cosmetic mods. I just want to make it my "own" with some small touches.....
