My girlfriend just called billet technology to try and order me a billet rear wing for my birthday and they said they don't make it anymore.

I know I could pay anyone 600.00 and probably get it machined somewhere but I really liked the BT one and their price 220.00.
I was also going to get it back lit with LED's.

Is there any other companies out there that make this for a reasonable price? or possibly have some old stock of BT?

Any ideas?

OK I just purchased a AAC wing off of LX forums and have a question about install. It has white lights so I need to be able to turn it off and on if there is a cop behind me. Has anybody ever hooked this up to the fog switch. If so how did you do it. My next though would be to hook a switch up where my cigarette lighter is at now. Anybody done that? Any other ideas would be appreciated. I was thinking about just adding a switch in the trunk but then I would have to get out of the car to turn it off and on. Once again thanks for all the help that this forum gives out.

So you want to polish your brake calipers. This easiest way to do this is if you have an extra set of calipers to work on without taking your car apart and not being able to drive it. In my case I was able to get a set of R/T calipers to work on so that I could replace my V6 brakes.

This will take the good part of 1 day if not 2, depending on how detailed you want to get and the tools that you have access to.



First thing, the list of tools needed to polish aluminum calipers.
1. Air die grinder, (this can be done by hand if you do not have access to an air compressor, it just might take a little longer) an orbital sander can also be used
2. Twist loc abrasive disc 40 grit, 100 grit, 150 grit
3. Sandpaper
• 220 grit
• 320 grit wet/dry
• 400 grit wet/dry
• 600 grit wet/dry
• 1000 grit wet/dry
• 1500 grit wet/dry
4. 6” bench buffer or grinder with a buffing wheel installed
5. White aluminum oxide for general purpose buffing and Red rouge for high polish
6. You will definitely get your hands dirty, you may want to get some mechanics gloves during the sanding and polishing. Also if you are using a bench buffer, you may want to get some thicker gloves as the caliper will heat up a little as it is being buffed and you don’t want to burn your hands or drop the caliper as it heats up.


Now to get to work! If you have an extra set of calipers to work with, you will not need to remove the ones on the car, or you can work with them on the car instead. For this write up, I will give instructions on polishing calipers that are removed from the car already.

Pictured below are the calipers before any work is done to them.


1. First step is to clean the calipers from all grease, dirt and debris before you start your work.

2. At this point you can prep and paint the caliper any color you would like and then start grinding and smoothing. This would be to fill in the grooves on the top of the caliper and to add a little personalization to them.

3. Now that your calipers are cleaned of all debris, you can start grinding / sanding them down. I initially used a mini die grinder with 40 grit sanding disc to clean up the rough finish, grind down the casting line and remove the dimples that are on the front of the caliper.

Pictured below are the calipers after disc sanding and removing the casting line and dimples.


4. Now that you have the casting line removed and the dimples are gone, you can continue using 100 grit sanding disc and then 150 grit sanding disc to start to remove any of the previous grinding marks and begin the smoothing process.

The next process is the most time consuming of the most important to get a nice clean mirror polish

5. Begin by using 220 dry sandpaper to remove the last of the grinding marks

The calipers below are sanded using 220 grit sandpaper to begin removing the grinding marks.


6. Now is when you want to start using the 320 grit wet/dry sandpaper and wet sand the calipers. At this point you will want to start cross sanding by sanding in one direction and then using the next higher grit sandpaper in the opposite direction to smooth out any imperfections

7. After you start in one direction with 320 grit move on to 400 grit, 600 grit, 1000 grit and then 1500 grit

Pictured below are the calipers after wet sanding


8. Now you should be looking at a caliper that is almost shiny, but not polished yet. This is where the bench buffer comes into play. If you do not have a bench buffer, you can use a small buffing wheel on a high speed drill or start to polish with polishing compound by hand.

9. You can use the white polishing compound bar and dress the buffing wheel before you run the caliper on the wheel to begin the shining process.

10. Once you have an initial shine, you can use the red rouge on a new buffing wheel as you do not want to use the same wheel for 2 different compounds.

Below you see the top caliper that has been polished with the red rouge and the bottom caliper has been wet sanded and ready to polish


Here are my stock V6 brakes before I replaced them


Here are the R/T Calipers and drilled/slotted rotors installed


11. Now that this step is done and you have achieved a shine that is satisfactory, you are done and ready to mount your shiny calipers back on your ride.

Here are the polished calipers with the wheel mounted. They really stand out now vs the stock V6 calipers. Plus the braking is greatly improved.


Good luck to all. Any questions, let me know.

Well i had some spare time today and decided to install the chally hood thank you cleavland pic a part once again!

Well in a nut shell its too wide and too long! thats all there is to it, as long as you or the person doing the work is good with aluminum cutting and welding its a breeze to narrow and shorten it.

Most important you can use your LX hood hinges and the chally hood lines up to your LX hood latch.

anyways more on this later heres some pics.
Its dark in my garage sorry! ill take more pics in the day light

Hello all!

I am looking for a front license plate bracket...I like the style of the E & G stainless, but I would prefer it in black. Has anyone seen a bracket in this style available in black? I guess I could paint it, but would prefer not to.

hey everyone, im in the market for a new grill, i really want a deep dish grill but lack the skills to make my own. If anyone has on they want to sell please PM me.

I just bought my 300 and it's color is jade. What type of rims should i put on it? Either the srt8 rims or some chrome rims is what I'm looking at.

Ok I took my Plain Black Fog Covers, Removed them, cut the back off, Paint Matched them and Placed the leftover Mesh from my Grip Grill Behind and reinstalled...What do you Think

Anyone else have these pinstripes running down the side of their car? I haven't noticed them anywhere else and was just curious how "rare" they are. I know a lot of people are into demolding the cars, so these may be one of the first things to go.



The pinstripes are grey/gold with HEMI at the back.

Hey everyone, so I was just wondering, I have been looking into tinted tails and I want to get a pair, but I don’t know how dark you can go without getting a ticket. I want to go dark color match to my black cherry paint on my 300, but I don’t know how dark you can go without getting a ticket.

Does anyone know?

anyone have a t-rex grill? any pics of a t-rex grill i'm wondering what they look like upclose i can't find any pics of what exactly the mesh looks like any pics would be sweet

Anyone know of when the SRT rear bumper was changed from having the add-on lower valance to being a one-piece rear end? I ask because I was involved in a fender bender (fender-BUSTER actually) coming back from my honeymoon the other day and am looking to upgrade/add the SRT lip to my C bumper. The bodyshop at one of the dealerships I went to said Chrysler no longer makes the lower lips (front or rear), they are all one piece now.

Here's the damage to me:



Here's her car:



Maybe she'll realize that you can't drive through other cars.
