First mod to the 300 - De-mold!

I got bored at work today, went home and spent half an hour removing the molding on the ride. I was busting ass, that's why it only took me about half an hour from start to a waxed finish.

I used a heat gun to aid in the removal, which left almost no adhesive. Then 3M adhesive remover on what was left, some Meguiar's scratch X, some Poorboy's polish, and then some Poorboy's Natty Blue wax.

Excuse the mess of a workbench, in the middle of some things

Hell to the yeah! Looks good tony. Now just dont get banged lol

Banged? Is that some slang I don't know yet or are you talking about man meat in the bunghole?

4 definitions for sex and one for getting beat up.

I may pick up some random hoes, and possibly bang.


So I can't make the promise that I won't get banged.

I'm hoping he meant banged across the panel by someone else's door .

Looks really good though, surprising how much of a difference that simple mod made .

Still so jealous

Thanks guys.

That never even crossed my mind Cooper. Good catch!

A+

Looks much better. Hey Tony I think if you could maybe drop down/reattach your front tag mount a bit,it would give it a nice subtle look,as it would also expose more of the lower part of the grille.

Thanks pOrk and Tat2.

And good eye on the tag mount, I almost pulled it off today to do exactly that! but it extends into the grill and sort of "hooks" the grill (but they actually don't hook...they just sit back in the grill and do nothing).


So it's still doable, I just didn't have the time tonight to get out the dremel and make any cuts. After I cut the "hooks" off I will be able to move the mount down and remount it.

Very nice man.

I'd take mine off, but I'm afraid of door dings

Cool! It's all in the details,right Tony.

Yessir Mr.Tat!



DO IT KNOX! You only live once man. I can honestly say that I have never had a door ding on any of my vehicles, but I've never been worried about it either. Although I guess I typically park next to stationary objects (the spot next to the cart return, etc) or away from the masses...but that's mostly so I have room to open my door in case some jack ass decides to park too close.

i always avoid parking next to the cart return things because i'm afraid some jackass pushing his cart into the side of my car

looks nice and smooth

brymck, that would be hard to do around here unless you were trying to score a goal from across the parking lot.

Thanks macragg.

Very smooth after look, very nice

Looks awesome.

looks great mang.

BAnged as in car door bang lol, didnt mean it sexually

its crazy how much better that makes that car look...not a fan of the 300s but i like how it looks way better than it did before

Thanks all.



Terry, It's ok...I know you really meant it sexually...

looks awesome but u will get door dings now i did the same thing on my caprice and i have a few door dings now

Looks noice

A couple iPhone shots,

Relocated the tag mount,





Motor,

I feel bad for all you that have to run front tags. They just kill the front end.

Tag relocation looks much better Tony.

Yeah, it really sucks. That's the ONLY thing I have ever been pulled over for other than speeding.


And at one time I had 5% tint, and blue M3 mirrors (flashed with turn signals) on my truck for over two years with no questions asked.

Needs some 22 inch SRT-10 wheels

I love the SRT wheels. I like your thinking.

Tis true

I've always been partial to OEM upgrades. There's no technical "aftermarket" product on your vehicle to void any warranties, but always increases the appeal. I swapped my stock 17" Saturn Vue wheels with the 18" Saturn Vue Redline wheels and it made a hell of a difference.

I think the SRT wheels on your 300 would make your car look 12x more badass, especially with the acne-free sides now.

I agree. I'm in love with the SRT wheels.
