Hi All,

Ive changed a few things on the 6 and thought id share..I Painted the wheels with bbs gold and some pics of my DIY dual cold air intake and painted intake manifolds. Also added the SRT badge on the bottom right.

 

BBS Gold! I like it! Where did you get the paint? I can't get it... and I work for BBS!! I get calls and emails all day long asking for it to restore their older wheels.

I guess its not technically BBS...

 

The wheels look great!

 

Cool, thanks.

 

Nice rims! Have u added this to the global VIN# gallery at srt-6?

Yes i added mine awhile ago..im the SSB from Columbus, ohio. Pics are when it looked bone stock.

 

Oki, I added some photos to the fb page ( instagram aswell) so if you go to SRT-6.com you will see it in the left pane. looking mighty fine!

 

Hcarter did the same thing, i really like that look. Nice job!

 

yes yes yes yes. love the gold, well done

 

Love it, now lower it and it would be perfect.

 

I wish I could. My apartment complex/neighborhood has crazy speed bumps. Im already cutting it close at stock height. It would look awesome with a drop though.

 

That gold looks awesome.

I would get a set of these to hide the ugly silverish lug bolts.... I have a similar setup.

Mine are Black on the inside, with the lip stock, similar centers and the lug covers.

That looks really good with the black spokes..I was thinking of just painting the lug nuts but i think those are a better solutions since they wont get chipped and messed up if i need to take the lug nuts off.

Side note..Did you remove the side strakes when you painted them or did you just tape off that whole area? Ive been thinking about it but i dont want to have the hassle of trying to get them back on correctly

 

Thanks,

I had them all black (just plastidip since I dont want to paint the stock rims perm) but the wife thought it would look better with the lip stock so I cut and peeled the palstidip off the lips. I dont care for it as much as all black. I think all black makes the car look more planted to the ground - and a little meaner!!! HAHAHA

I have a similar situation that I cant lower the car as I can barely get it in my garage as is, already had to build some rubber "ramps" that sit on the incline of my driveway so it does not high center - there is approx a 40 degree down slope to get into my garage - inner city living at its best!!!

Anyway,

Taped and plastidip'd the first time, did not turn out so well and started to peel so removed for round 2, pretty easy on drivers, not so much on pass as I had to move the washer bottle out of the way after removing inner fender cover. I also found it easier to have the tire removed. I did the following:

- used a heat gun to warm the tape a bit, then used fishing line to "cut" between the strake and the car, they should come off easy after that.
- paint, clean up old glue and cut new double sided tape to fit strakes and re-install.

Lasted over a year so far with no issues.

 

I like the gold. I think when I finally settle on wheels for the cars I own, I will do the black on the roadster and gold on the coupe.
