'97 Intrepid "My Baby" *UPDATED*

1997 Chrysler Intrepid
Base Model: 3.3L V-6
Color: Wildberry Pearl Coat


This picture was taken in August 2003

This is how my baby looks today, I got her back in July 2003 and I love it! It all started off by putting a Sony MP3 deck in it and the rest as you would say is history. I've spent countless hours of time and money getting her to this point, and there's no stopping me now!

*Couple of Updates*

Just installed a few more things, like I need anymore?

Picked up a Shift 3 backup camera last fall for 30 bucks new and finally got it installed, after I modified it a little.
I didn't like those stupid looking brackets on either side where you bolt it to the license plate. Works good enough for that price.lol

Then two weeks ago I found these rear factory mud flaps on a 97 Sport, so I
grabbed them. I also got the fronts to but I haven't decided if I should put them on
or not.

I look at this thread almost everytime I get on here LOL
I actually am getting a lot of my ideas and inspiration for my trep from this thread, I have one quick question though, how much did it cost to get your headrest's embroidered? And what did you have to do to get them done? I've got the rear leather seats, and am about to be getting the fronts, and I kinda wanna steall your idea with that. So do I just need to bring the headrests in somewhere for it? Or do I need to actually remove the leather first?

Thanks in advance.

Well it cost me more then I wanted to spend that day, lol. It was $50 CND. not to bad I guess? First I took the head rests off the seats then pulled the vinyl covers off. Then I made the rt logo using Microsoft Paint and printed it off on my printer, next I took it to a T-shirt shop called the Dogs Ear here in town. They do logo's and embroidery on shirts, hats, jackets and so on. I showed the photocopy of the rt logo to guy there and he then had to fax it to a guy in Calgary Alberta. This guy in turn made a floppy disc with the logo so it could be used on there embroidery machine. That's about it.

I still have the image of the the R\T logo I used if you want it, just drop me a PM with you email if you do or if anyone else wants it.
If you have anymore questions let me know and I'll try and help you out.

Thanks! I love mine as well. It does take time to get them looking and running good. It took me about 7 years, a little at a time. ;)

Beautiful! Need more pix and include interior. This looks to me like a candidate for the upcoming vote on COTM October.
Thanks! I'll try and get some new pics up soon with the interior. I haven't updated my sig page in quite awhile. Definitely time for an update. lol

I'm in the semi-final voting right now for September.

I know threads probably dead but I'm trying the OTIS/climate control/Premium BCM mod on my 97. Im wondering how you did it? Did you swap the entire inner dash? or did you pull only the harnesses you needed? I have a Base 3.3L Intrepid and I'm trying to take out of a '95 Concorde.
Would most of the harnesses i need for this project be behind the dash of my intrepid?
