Default Hot Body Kit for Chrysler 300C!

I know this isn't Lexus related but I stumbled onto this @ DubShop.com and it almost made me wish I had a 300C!




....but scrap those rims and replace them with brushed AutoCouture Magnifiques:

That's where I left off. I clicked the link at the top to see the larger photo at the bottom. Copied and pasted the bookmarked link.

Yeah, there is a member of 300c Forums with that same kit, it looks nicer on the darker car. Pretty clean kit overall, I aggree with you on the wheels. The 300c guys kill me with the 1pc TIS wheels that have the curved spoke and a 5" front and rear lip! LOL Same lip front and rear is funny looking to me.

This car would look nice with a set of Magnifiques 22" staggered!

I agree. When done tastefully, the 300 looks GREAT. But unfortunately, 99% of the owners are domesticaholics; having NO real taste to begin with. Their normal taste being chrome blade rims and thick stripes down the hood. Ultimately ghetto in effect. There was even one idiot on the 300c forums talking about how he thought rims with lip looked stupid and only flat-faced rims looked right.... I guess he came from a parallel universe.

When a REAL enthusiast gets ahold of one, its a sight to behold. I've seen one with a set of HREs and another with a set of 22" Iforged; someone that actually spent more than $1000 on a set of rims. Most of the cheapasses buy crap off ebay and it shows. NO TASTE. Don't buy a car that you can only barely afford.

yeah man thats it exactly. We were considering sponsorring that forum but after reading a few posts, I realized that it would be too much of a uphill battle to simply justify the extra cost of HRE or iFORGED or AUTOCOUTRE against that of the High and Mighty TIS!! (thier members reallly think TIS is the ultimate automotive enhancement)

What I find is their market base is so broad (from 18yr old males to 58 yr old women) and in many cases its people that have never modded a car before so "rims are rims" and "why the hell would I want to lower my car and mess it up like a civic"......stuff like that.

You are right though, there are a few guys over there with some really clean and classy cars, we did a set of 22" iFORGED IMOLA's for a guy over there, I cant wait to see those!

tHe body kit looks great on the 300c.. Your right when the 300c is done right it looks very good.. There's one around here i see once in awhile and all he has is rims... It looks ok But i think you need the total package at least some S/S and or coilovers and maybe even a body kit... The 300c and Magnum are large cars so you have to have the right wheel and kit etc to flow with the bulkness of the 300.... Plus this one the Autocoutour magnifique wheels look awesome...

Wow I really like that kit. Looks good. I would go with some Work DH on the 300C.
