Just thought this would be more for me so I can remember what has been done haha.
I joined a while back because I was going to buy an ex-police car but that ended up falling through and I fell in love with this 300m.

Chrysler 300m Platinum
I bought this car in July 2012 with 97,300 miles on it from a dealer for $5,700. It was (and still for the most part is) super clean and definitely worth it in my opinion. It has a clean title and has proven itself 20x's over. They wanted $7,900 for it, but I haggled them down $2,200.

The car is currently getting 26 mpg average and has twice the horsepower of my previous car (2001 ford escort zx2)

Well time for an update.

A hypothetical upgrade I have in the planning process right now is.....
2.5" Projector housings w/ HID kit in fog lights. Now I know what first comments will really be... But it won't fit. Now this is a problem I came up with and I have decided that with some creative engineering and maybe a couple custom parts it could just work and be rather beneficial. HID kit should be here tomorrow as well as the Projectors in a few days.

The way I see it is that the actual plastic cover for the fog lights are I'd say a little less that 3 inches If I could create a solid mount point for the projector inside of that with a creative outer sealed covering and a completely already focused projector it could work! Haha. It'll keep me busy through my down time!

Items Order/being ordered: Morimoto H1 mini projectors / Premium HID kit forgot the brand.

did u use the glossifier on the Plasti-dip or no? I was thinking of plastidipping my R/T rims and using the glossifier made by Plasti-dip for a little shine.....what did u do? How is the plasti-dip holding up in the snow season? I live not far from u in Indiana and its been a light winter so far but u know that can change in 30 minutes...lol.....Looking good tho!

No Glossifier. I just straight plastidipped from the can. I mostly did it to protect my chrome in the winter, but it does look rather good when they are cleaned up. It's holding up strong really of course there is a couple rough spots around the outside but that is expect and can be touched up with my left-over plastidip when I have the time!

Got my Morimoto Mini H1 projectors in the mail. I tore my fog lights apart and got some custom mounting and some custom holes but I have them in there! They are huge! Also because they are Bi-Xenon I was able to have them on either the high or low setting and I decided the high would put out more light so they don't have a direct cut-off line. Will post pics tomorrow once I get them restored. I already know they work and fit at least, even in the 300m bumper!

Just got done with my fog light retrofit. It took a lot of custom work but I was able to cram 2.5" projectors into the stock housings! Because they were bi-xenon I was able to choose whether I wanted a high beam look or a low beam. I selfishly took the high beams over the lows. Here is JUST fog lights on. They have no cut off because it is on High beam mode.



Here is with my spyder halos as well.



They are aimed the exact same way as the stock fog lights were so the are a little more <> than normal headlights

Here is a little close up in the bumper itself

Was strolling across my old photos and I remembered that I was planning on cleaning my throttle body and forgot about it.

It wasn't too dirty, but its the first time I know about it being done in 110k


Also repainted the windshield wiper cowl

It was kind of discolored just from time getting to it.

2003 special pcm installed.
4/13/2013 rear muffler removed making it essentially straight piped off the stock collector. I have since added a tip that aims it more towards the ground. A lot more quiet off that one piece. Weird haha

4/14/2013
Plenum spacer added in. Snapped a bolt, but not much I can do about it for the time being.
