Pictures of SRT6 rims and the car debadged along with tinted windows.

I need to order more emblems from Andrew for the wheels to cover up that crappy chrysler logo.

Yeah... well... I can't believe anyone pays anywhere close to what they are asking for an SRT-6 considering the color selection available. The SRT6 isn't worth the additional money they are getting for them. IMO.

Hmmm, that wing would look tasty with the other wheels. Does your wing still go up?

??? It's a fixed wing. The pictures don't indicate that to you? It's the factory wing for an SRT-6.

I like it but I'd recommend some different wheels. The srt wheels are horrid. Also a good lowering and you have a mean machine. Could you take more pics? sideways, from the rear and from 3 quarters?

Thanks.

The stock spoiler was removed, obviously. This was a joke question right?

The spoiler costs...

$700 for the wing
$400 for the mounting plate
$150 for paint
$150 to mount

Thanks! Criticize the rims and ask for more pictures? Please visit the web site. It has all of the pictures I have to share.

The rims cost me $400 after I sold the factory originals. Try to find rims like these for that... you can't. The factory rims are brake dust magnets. I detailed my car every 2 days or cleaned the rims myself because of the dust. With these rims... I have very little to no brake dust. Thanks EBAY!

BTW... Lowering? You obviously don't understand what this does to a car's suspension and performance handling...

have you ridden in cars that have been lowered with proper equipment? the ride may be a little more harsh but the handling and performance is amazing compared to stock. i don't believe he is just talking about dropping it but doing lowering it right.

If lowered correctly... yes. I figured he was referring to the standard zipper head style of lowering. I have 2 pro stock cars that I race at Desoto raceway... I know all about handling.

I wouldn't consider lowering this car... it's fine as is. It's not a racecar folks.

Yes, right, that's why you made it look like a 335 HP SRT6 ...

The white wing looks really good! I never liked this shovel on the SRT6, but white painted seams to match a lot better. And the rims are nice too. Have you ever cleaned them yet?!

The badge has been removed. It was a gay and a suggestion by the parts manager when I installed the wing.

I don't do anything around my house including the washing of my vehicles... so... no, I haven't cleaned them yet. Someone else has.

Something else I remarked on your car: The black thing on the roof in the back just before the rear window. What is that? If the xf had a rear wiper - ok, a washer nozzle...

Thanks.

Nobody was criticizing your decision, just criticizing the wheels since IMO the SRT wheels just don't do the car justice. Kudos on your awesome mod.

And by the way battlerock, what did you think I meant? To lower the car by hacksawing the springs? :|

When you show people your stuff, be prepared for critique both good and bad.

I like your wing not your wheels. IMO your car is to high, you can get an entire fist between your tire and fender. Too high. I got the Eibach Pro Kit and it looks 100 times better handles 100 times better and feels way more sporty.

And just so you know, I also have a Porsche, and BMW with proper suspensions as well, so I'm not lowering Toyota 1.8s.

Can you tell us or can someone else remind us where the thread is with instructions to de-badge the name on the trunk?

c-r-o-s-s-f-i-r-e removal:

1. heat each letter up with a blow dryer.

2. slide "fishing line" beneath the each letter and wiggling it back-and-forth to loosen the adhesive from the letter/emblem (do "not" pull up/pry on the emblem).

3. once each emblem/letter is removed...use "goo gone" on a micro fiber towel to remove remaining adhesive.

4. then use a non-abrasive polish to luster paint.

SRT-6 wheels look the same as the LHS wheels! I like the stock now because it's original and no other car has it!

EBC4 "Green Stuff" I have now on the Roadster and I had Porterhouse on the Coupe. I prefer the EBC!!
