Help re modding 300's in australia

[Domenic]

Now that i've decided to get the mineral grey srt8 instead of the silver, and have been hit with the knowledge that i'll be waiting longer than planned for it to arrive, I have started to think and plan about acquiring mods (to help get me through!!). After seeing the mineral grey 300c at the melbourne motor show, with it's spoiler kit, wheels and grill, i am reasonably certain i will at the very least change the grill on my srt8. I am also seriously thinking of introducing the sat nav radio to the car also, provided feedback from bezita is good on his install. These are the only two items i am planning on modding initially, and i am seeking the best options and ways of purchasing them so that i can get this all done not only at a decent price, but that i get the best stuff i can for my dollar.

Websites i've been browsing include:

http://www.moparsupercenter.com/
quotes mopar mesh grill @ USD$466.04

http://www.wyckoff-mopar-parts.com/
quotes chrome dub mesh grill @ USD$679.95
E&G stainless dual weave mesh grill @ USD$339.95

http://www.trexbillet.com
doesn't quote prices

Not sure about all these shipping international, some feedback about wyckoff says good some says bad. I'm prepared to seek other suppliers but i am not prepared to compromise quality and am not interested in inferior quality products. At this stage i'm leaning toward the DUB grill for it's quality finish.

Any other suggestions?

sorry i should add, i know there have been other threads along similar line to this, but i'm also trying to gather local links to suppliers of genuine article, like for example the dub mesh grill - does it have a local distributor? I want to order these things direct whilst i wait for srt.08 to arrive, save me dosh plus i get exactly what i want and it's also something for me to pass the time. If i need to go USA to order i dont mind but would rather i get it local if possible, provided prices are compatible.

Dom, it is time for me to be ordering another grille too.

Everybody who sets eyes on my E&G grille and has seen the Mopar grille says there is no comparison, the E&G kills the Mopar grille. It is stainless steel mesh and not chromed but it is bright enough for me

I will check out the So Cal (Ranch) dealer that Fatchance put me onto and see what sort of deal we can get. I want the lower mesh inserts too.

I will most likely want the lower inserts too. I'm reluctant to settle for anything but the best for my grill, as outwardly it will probably be the only mod i'll be undertaking. If the dub grill is a lot better than anything else and it's only $300 more then i'm happy to go with that, but keep me in the loop if you can snaffle something special.

I couldn't agree more, I just don't like the mopar grille as much as the other mesh grilles out there, the space between the wires, and the fact the it is one peice really made it look inferior compared to other mesh grilles

Ukyo, that ride looks really nice. In OZ we unfortunately cannot get away with no front number (licence) plate.

I am going to make it up to your part of the world one of these days for the Stampede, so watch out

I have the E&G Classics Tripple Nickle grill and think it is the best for your money, around $670US from ebay but most have it for the same price. The Mopar grill is too open and you can see whats behind it alot more than others. I heard from a Chrysler dealer that Chrysler Austalia might have a problem with any tight weave grills and may void waranty on cooling systems etc.
