I gots a suggestion!! PLEASE wear some glasses when you are grinding man.. One of those wheels explodes (and it doesnt take much) you could be blind forever! I got a peice of MDF in my eye a month ago (with glasses on!!) Doc had to scrape it out.. THAT ******!

you gonna glass around that baffle? or maybe i missed it, but it looks like you used foam to bridge the gap?if i missed something let me know, but if there is just foam in that gap, your going to have a problem.

good looking work...may i ask if it was a shop you took it to that used the cut off wheel? I'm liking the idea and the progress....

GL

that foam turns hard as a rock. there will be no problem using it to seal off the area between the baffle and the rear deck as there will be almost zero pressurization of the trunk area.

the huge bolts holding the baffle down will suffice as far as mechanical fasteners are concerned.

looks good. not just cover up that huge ugly hole in the carpet and you will be golden.

I got a suggestion that seems like a good one... Use some metal grille material (similar to chicken wire, but lil more pliable, and form it to the center to remove that ugly hole. Then just cover the entire piece as one, with this fake suede I have (looks good and easy to mess with).

I am thinking hide the subs so the AZ sun does not torture them. OH and for those asking about the car and what kind it is its a 06 Chrysler 300C SRT here is the outside

That is the nicest 300 I have ever seen!!

That was a nice compliment thank you!

I think one of the best things I did was to paint the inside of the headlights. Those were chrome and UGLY. Hopefully its not too overdone... I hate these cars when they get all crazy looking!

Awesome looking install and awesome ride man. I would love to do an IB setup one day....I also painted my headlight housings, looks 10x better.

Here is how I got the center back into the rear deck cover. I used some mesh grille I had left over.

NOW... Looks like if I want to I could actually do whatever I want. I guess if I want to cover this piece, I should use some thin foam like they use for headliner before I cover it right?

OR

I could cut sub circles, or squares out and leave them exposed. What do u guys think?

Wow, that is a very clean 300.

That is the cleanest aftermarket grill I have ever seen.

Ram SRT rims? Painted or powder?

The grille is Grip Tuning (cheap $190.00 before paint). The wheels are actually repros company called Facgtory Reproductions make these for Charger, Maggy, and 300C painted Grey

No over the top chrome wheels and peel-n-stick trim. Good show.

sweet ass ****ing ride man, and looking good with the install man. I am now looking forward to seeing the end of the install.

 

[hemi4me? 10+ year member]

Again wish I had a lil more help with the finishing... I am not good at it.

 

[hemi4me? 10+ year member]

Test fit... Might just cover it, and throw it in... Hope no rattles.

 

[Andrizzle 10+ year member]

looks like ur making good progress!

Like everyone else. Best C 300 makeover I've seen. Applause

 

[prodgod 10+ year member]

Turned out great. Should sound good once it's all in.

BTW, sick 300. I have wanted one of those since they were introduced.

Well I might have to make a new post for this... Its finally done. All your suggestions were taken, and I still could not handle the job. First I am just not that creative, and second I do not have the tools to get it done right. I called a buddy that I got my amp from in Apache Junction, AZ. His name is Chad with Xtreme Audio and Desing http://www.xtremeaudio-usa.com.

Let me say that this is not what I expected... I sat and watched mostly scratching my head, and offering some assistance with things you cant F up like sanding, and getting the tape from the wall LOL.

This is FAR MORE Than I expected. The new trim is outstanding. The aluminum work was amazing (the center piece was brushed and then clearcoated, but the rings around the subs are not done yet. I will be brushing them, and clearing them tomorrow. I had to leave for the night). The ultra suede looks great (needs brushed to get it going the right direction) and the bottom of the material I am wrapping underneath and will really clean up the front edge. I am thinking of a amprack floating in the rear across the strut braces, and trimming the trunk to match!

Any way on with the pics. Thank you Chad for making this way more amazing than I could have imagined. (ALTHOUGH THE ALUMINUM WAS MY IDEA... HAHAHAH NOT)
