Cool body modifications

I am in the process of putting 20" Foose rims all the way around, debadging the exterior chrome, doing a full stereo upgrade, full carbon fiber accent package, built in GPS pod, and dyeing all the non black interior trim, as well as replacing the headliner with a new black one. I have already had LSD lambo doors installed. I have already upgraded the exhaust with a Borla catback system, had the chip upgraded, and have installed cold air intakes. I will post pictures when it is out of the shop in about two weeks. I have toyed with the thought of doing side skirts, and fender mods to widen the look. As I am sure most people have found, no aftermarket help there. Any ideas other than a "one off" job. broker2222

I see you found the thread by FP on the AMG side skirts. I really like that look but dont think I will do it. Where are you located? I am in North Plains, OR. Just about 15 miles west of Portland.

re: body modifications Sounds like a great plan....will there be room (clearence) for the 20 inch wheels?
In de-badging the rear deck lid... I could use the Chrome C R O S S F I R E
letters....mine damaged at the Car Wash...if you would consider selling let me know. Good luck...anxious to see "after" pics. Jules

It is red. Since last post, I have added a few more goodies. I stripped the interior, got red leather to match the exterior. Red leather where the checkered leather was on the seats. Also covered the new speaker enclosures on bottom of door with red. Covered the panel that has the door latch in same red. Had my leather guy do the same french stitch as was on original. Have put black grill(upper and lower) billet on. Doing a remote control exhaust cutout. Got new badges coming for the chrome chrysler wings on front and back. Have painted the chrome black as well. Should have it back by the weekend. I am located in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. one hundred miles south of Calgary.

If you are goign to color match your silver trim, strakes and handles let me know and I'll swap parts with you if you're up for it and pay shipping both ways. Mine are black and I want them silver but if you're already gonna paint them, it would work good for us both.

I have already had the door handles and winshield trim painted body color. I put the chrome covers on the strakes, and as there are chrome fins on my black rims, it looks good. Sorry I couldn't help you there.

Well i bet it looks awesome. I'm going a different direction with mine.

Let us know if you want the center console painted to match or anything else done with the interior/exterior.
