Really like the way this car came out. The engine bay looks amazing. The interior is a little much for me, but to each his own. I've owned a 300c for a few months now and I love this car. Can't wait to starting modding my own.

Tim, your car is the absolute best looking 300c srt8 that I've seen on you tube! I bought a 2007 300c srt8 and haven't touched it yet. Could you please share where you bought your grill, the custom diamond plates, and the fitments around your gear shift? My rims are the oem 20" srt but are a soft silver with the outside of the spokes chromed. Did you get your inside accents rims chromed? If so was it expensive to do? Once again, your car looks incredible. Engine work looks so clean. Im subscribed!Any additional info on the work that went into your engine mods in a future vid would be awesome. Thanks

[@steelerfantim1]

g ciga thanks for the feedback & subscribing. The grill is the Black Ice design by E&G Classic grills. The floor mats I got off a guy who designs and makes them for all types of cars. He sells them on eBay. Search diamond plated floor mats and you'll find him. The shift knob was also on eBay. The shift plate was made by 3G customs. You can pick the color and engraving you want. As for the rims I did a chrome exchange with a company in Los Angeles called Wheel Connections. You order a set of factory chrome wheels, and in return you send them your stock factory wheels and they return you a $1,000 core charge once they receive the used wheels. A lot less inexpensive than buying aftermarket wheels and keeps the factory look of your car. Thanks again for the comments. Any other questions just let me know. I'll try to incorporate more of the performance mods once I get the Nitrous system redone & post my next video.

[@brandonw.6296]

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the wrap ? considering wrapping the same model

[@steelerfantim1]

Every shop is different on price depending on vinyl used and how much time they estimate to prep and wrap everything. This particular job was around $3500 because at the time the brushed metal vinyl was expensive and difficult to work with when it carne to applying it.

[@sergio9182]

I hope you reply no one ever does but in the newer like 2012/2015 why do the 300s look way more better than the 300c isn’t the order 300s 300c and then the big srt8? I need help I want to buy one but don’t know which is worth my buck I’m only 16 help?

[@steelerfantim1]

The 1st Gen models were the 300 touring, 300c and then the SRT8 models. When the 2nd Gen models came out in 2012 it was similar. They had the 300s and 300c models. The S models were mainly V6 models and the C models had the hemi V8. Then you had the 6.4L hemi in the SRT8 models. They discontinued the C models and SRT8 models here in the US. You can only get the 300s models now, but you can get it with either the V6 or the Hemi V8. The 300s models look better than the C models because the 300c was more luxury, whereas the 300s models were the sport models. The S has more of an SRT look to them now. As long as you get a model with the Hemi you'll love it!

[@sergio9182]

Tim Higley - its_1siksrt oh ok thanks I’ve been researching the car for so long and your the only one that’s really helped just curious I know the s in 300s stands for sport but what does the c in 300c stand for? Oh also what’s the last 300c model or srt8 model that you can get in the us.

[@steelerfantim1]

@@sergio9182 the C designation goes back to when they first made the 300 and it was a coupe model. When they still used it it was known for being the more luxurious and powerful model in the 300 line up, like the executive model referred to in the article above. C meant V8 and more luxury options & upgrades in that model 300.

[@steelerfantim1]

Kevin it's the original SRT8 bumper from the 1st Gen 300s. I added the All-Fit Fat Lip to the bumper which provides a front splitter look at a low cost. Plus it protects the original bumper from damage being that it's so low.

[@ricardoutrilla93]

Great looking 300!! Is there any difference between 2005-2010 models? I mean mechanically, suspension and chassis or are they all the same?

[@steelerfantim1]

there were only a few subtle differences in the later model years primarily in the trunk and exterior lighting. For the most part all Gen 1 models were the same.

Roughy how much did you spend on customizing this car. I have a 05 hemi I wanna get customized but dont know how much to save to do it

[@steelerfantim1]

Roughly 10k in performance upgrades. Motor, exhaust, suspension & nitrous. Appearance upgrades around another 6k with the vinyl wrap, interior, & engine bay details (i.e. hyrdrodipping & powder coating). Wasn't all done at once though. Suggest you make a list of things you want to do. Start with the upgrades you want to accomplish first and think are most important. Pay those off while you enjoy them, and then save up for the next ones. That's how most of us do it. We modify and upgrade in steps not everything at once. Good luck!

No clue had Redline Design in Tampa do it. They gave me a price based on the size of the car and specific requests I wanted. That's a question any wrap company should be able to answer for you. Just tell them what type of vehicle you want done and what color. Many vinyl wrap manufacturers out there so type you choose will also effect price.

Damn that's a tough question. With just engine, suspension, and performance upgrades probably $12k over the years. Probably another $5k-7k on all the interior and exterior enhancements. Most of that money went to the wrap jobs the cars had over the years. Probably the main reason I've had it so long is because it's so much fun to drive, and pride in owning something that is unique and something you've built over the years.
