and the beginning of the changes...

Tinted windows and LED Taillights

Chrysler 300 C, my newest toy,

even newer than the VTX 1800 S.

You know what they say...  The guy with the most toys wins...  

Well, I heard that anyway.

We'll just have to see.

 

I had been looking at this car for about five weeks and finally decided that I didn't want to go back into debt to buy another car.  My 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara has/had 55,000 miles and was still in great shape and best of all it was paid for.  So, I decided to just do some things to it, to make it feel like it was a little bit newer and different.  Added a nice alarm that lock the doors when you started the engine among some other neat additions.  I had priced out the matching BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A for the rear door so I could take the stock tire cover off...  Was thinking about a paint job...  At least I was thinking about that till I got rear ended by an uninsured pick up truck.  He hit so hard he pushed me into the SUV in front of me.  Needless to say the Grand Vitara was totaled....  Went to the Doctor the next day and after I got done there I stopped off at the Chrysler stealership and ended up driving home in my newest toy!!!

I have the HEMI 5.7 liter, "this engine generates up to 340 horsepower at 5,000 RPM, and 390 pounds-feet of torque at 4,000 RPM. The Multi-Displacement System (MDS) actually deactivates 4 of the 8 cylinders during light acceleration or cruising. So when the semi's are only a distant memory behind you, MDS means up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy."

Here is what the stock exhaust looked like...

stock resonators... shhhhhhhhh

 

Just did the 1st real mod to my 300 C.

Here is where the cuts where made to rid the 300 C's of it's resonators.

the deadly cuts...

 and put installed straight pipe with 4" 3A Racing Stainless Steel exhaust tips.

and yes I know they aren't mandrel bends.....

 

From the rear... (Look for the new LEDS below)

another overcast day in the Great Northwest, but the exhaust sounds GREAT!

Just couldn't stand the Bright Yellow Sticker about a child seat.  Had to replace it!

 

Below is a pic with the "Spear Molding" I put on the summer of 2006.

You can just see the rear window spoiler...
