What grill do you guys and gals think goes best with the SRT-8? If it were the C, the choice would be easy for me. The 8 doesn't look as elegant as the C. To me, it says: lets race. I keep trying to come up with a grill that will go with the wheels. Maybe I looking at it wrong. What do you think?

Im going to body match the paint on my grill and see how that looks.

I really like the stock grille...

A lot depends on the car color for me... if Black, I MIGHT like to see the stock grille done in black chrome. If Silver, I'd keep it stock or maybe consider a deep dish similar to aspendog's.

I'm happy as hell with the stock grill. I personally wouldn't change anything about the car, except tint of course. Hi Linda!

Hi Rambit! I clarified above... 'MIGHT'. My favorite is still the stocker too. If it were mine? No change

to each his/her own

I absolutely respect everybody's taste and preferences, and I have seen some AWESOME looking C pics posted here...but

1. When I see an unmodified C...it turns my head with NO changes (actually, let me rephrase that..when I see any 300)

2. Many of the mods people do point towards the SRT8, spoiler, bigger wheels, tires, bigger exhaust pipes, extende facias, lowered height, body color paint..

so, with the POSSIBLE exception of tinted windows (DAMN YOU RAMBIT), I plan on no mods at all

3. The stock grille on the C, and the SRT8, to me, is what makes the car, and I have yet to see one I liked better.

my 1 1/2 cents worth...

If it were mines, i would stay with the stock grill or the C grill (which has little chrome on it). I wouldn't through any E&G mesh, T rex etc.. etc.. The stock grill matches the theme of the SRT8!

 

[qictrk]

Quite a combo so far. Well, the good news is, there is no right or wrong answer. Thanks for you input, Cecil.......

I would keep everything stock on the SRT including the grill. If your going with a black SRT then color match the grill. Imo any chrome on the SRT will look out of place.

how would you paint?

How would you paint it with black chrome,or paint it black with chrome already on it? I'm not a paint guy,but how would you go about this,do you just paint over the existing stock srt-8 grill ? Thanks

i would think that you would have to sand it to give it a rough coat so the new paint can be applied..but then iam not a painter either..i thought it said on the srt, that it came witha color matched grill?what happend to that anyway?

 

[stang]

I've asked that question many times and I only got a negative answer or no answer at all!!!! All I know is a body colored grill on the black SRT-8 would look killer and lethal!!

Easy; To paint remove grill, (believe brampton web site has removal info) apply Spies Hecker or comparable adhesive promoter ( very important), clean gun and apply base coat, clean gun apply clear coat. These paints have windows don't wait between coats longer than the suggested times or the paint will peel later. If your good you will have a base gun and a clear gun, I prefer Sata (notice all of this is German Hmmmm.). Paint code is listed on the car, probably on the drivers side door. A lot of plastics do not sand well, if you must, use grey scotch brite pad followed by wax grease remover before applying adhesive promotor, base, clear ect... If none of this makes sense bring to body shop. Hope this helps,

Let us know how those 22” rims work out on an SRT. I’m thinks there’s not enough room. I’m about as close as you can get with 22’s on my C.

And I would not go below those 35's either. I have 35's on my Navigator and they are a little rough on bad roads. 30's are pushing it.
