Hey

I was wondering where you may have purchased the visor stickers. Looking to pick a couple of those up for my car as well.

Car looks Baaaaaaddddddd... I see you are in AZ, think we may see you at the Scottsdale Pavilions car show some Saturday night? It is near the Casino on Indian Bend and 101.

By the way, what is this for "B-QUIET Ultimate Sound Deadener and Vcomp Sound Barrier througho"?

I did not see any audio upgrades :banana:

3SRT4ME,

Your ride is the best looking black SRT8 by far!

Can you provide more details on the "Pulsating High Mounted Center Brake Light Module"? (manufacturer, place purchased, etc.)

My wife has been rear ended twice!:smileysex

Thank you H4ME and Reno; definitely plan to make out to the Pavilions for one of the get-togethers!

The B-QUIET Sound Deadening materials is similar, but better and less expensive IMHO, to the Dynomat materials.

The brake light module is nice . . . you have two different "pulse" settings to get people's attention. With the tinted windows and tails, I did not want to disappear into the night entirely . . . particularly when putting on the brakes! SignalDynamics BackOff XP module is what you are looking for!

"Green Hornet" comes to mind for some odd reason...

Your car looks great. The black and the selective use of silver/chrome gives it a rolling jewelry look.

liken' it

SRT...

dude, you are my hero!!!

I love the ride... i really like the look once the side emblems are removed... i'm thinking you gotta do something about the wheels....

I really like the side darkened side markers.... half of your other mods i never heard of and don't know what they mean... but i like the theme... similar to mine... but i think better....black, black, black.

any performance mods? exhaust, intake, etc....???

Looks great & keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!

Appreciate the kind words folks! It has been fun, and time consuming, matching my car to the vision I've had since seeing photos here of the first black SRT8s delivered. The Mrs. has threatened to make me live out of the car if I keep spending all my hours in the garage on the weekends with the mistress.

As for the wheels, no need to paint them black - they are constantly covered by black brake dust! :wink1:

JC, I actually had the smoked film protection on both the headlights and fogs, but thought it was too much for some reason. Perhaps because the silver of the lights up front plays off the rims nicely.

JV, the paint work on the grill, window trim, belt moldings and rear wings was done by James' (22Elite) paint guy. Speaking of which, two of my favorite mods are the armrests and center console cover. They seamlessly extend the comfort and style of the SRT8 seats to the door panels and center console. Highly recommended!

foody, the performance mods are definitely coming . . . .

you know what.....i just saw a pic of a black 300 with the tinted headlights and you're right.....it is a little too much. The tinted sidemarkers is a really nice touch though. Amazing how much different the car looks without the side molding and badges......my wife kept looking at mine trying to figure out what was different.......funny thing was she actually thought I spent money on SOMETHING, but couldn't figure it out. She said it "looked like I spent some $$$.......
:biggrin: .........sweet

To my eye you've balanced it perfectly 3SRT4ME--I'd not black out anything else. She's drop dead gorgeous just as you have her.

Obviously gorgeous ride BUT.......not quite my taste all blacked out. I mean wheels, grille, wings etc. okay, but to paint the chrome trim and remove the molding is a bit excessive. This is one of those mods that are done just to be differn't , not because it makes the car look better. No chrome screams LX... IMO of course... Also,the stock grille is booty PERIOD. especially painted all black, dissapears into the front end and looks plastic. Ohyeah it is!
 
#25 ·
the stock grill looks right on the SRT8 though........to me it just GOES with our wheels..........black or chrome, I think it looks mean as hell.......car keeps it's edge with the GIANT GRATE grill..........the all blacked out really looks good to me :wink1: very clean and all business.............

If you're rollin all stock wheels etc. than I guess the OEM grille is cool (If I had the srt I'd roll 20's etc.), but to go and powder coat the plastic stocker is pretty lame IMO.
