bandit.93 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Hey, I am starting a 2005 Chrysler 300C and i need some ideas on the exterior and interior.I would like something that looks more performance than luxury cuz im stuffing a Viper V10 into the engine bay.I was thinking for the interior using black w/ gray accents(no woodgrain). I dont want the exterior to be black (black is too common) but nothing too wild and some sorta hood scoop and maybe the exhaust exiting from the sides. Im not sure, its still in the planning stages but any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Phil Patterson Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I'd go with a white or yellow, something light. Any graphics you decide to use will show up more and light colors make the car appear not as bulky. The 300 may set too low to the ground for side pipes, however, maybe something exiting thru the rocker panel would work. Maybe a thinned down and lowered Challenger T/A hood scoop would work. That car would be a rocket ship with a Viper V-10!
Harry P. Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Get yourself a Magnum kit and chop off everything from the base of the windshield forward. Take your 300 and chop off everything from the base of the windshield back. Take the 300 front and the Magnum rear and build this:

Harry P. Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) You got it, Bob! Now, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, start hacking at that front end and lay it back like in the illustration... Edited September 26, 2007 by harrypri

Now, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, start hacking at that front end and lay it back like in the illustration... I'll let you do that , I like the SRT-8 front end, nice change of pace after years of wedgies, and the Revell fascia is a bit "rounded off" on the top edge vs. stock so it's already a mild custom. I hated the 300C's in pictures, but when I saw them in person my mind was changed. I like cars that are controversially styled, ones that people either love or loathe with not much in between. I cut diagonally from just inside the windshield down to the wheel opening, keeping the cowl with the donor front end. The Magnum body needed to widen itself to the 300 clip, so w/o the cowl it was easy. I had to taper the 300 windshield edges a bit to fit the narrower Magnum roof. The Magnum windshield was too narrow.

I have the exhaut tips from the viper i got the engine out of so maybe I'll mold those into the sides. Also what I was thinking of doing is painting the grille the same color as the body. Some thing else is the wheels, im not really sure what to do or what would look good.

Thanks heres another color idea, try that "bunt oragne"color with a lil pearl. use either the viper wheels with blacked out spokes or get some sim 22s
