New member in Scottsdale AZ, Chrysler 300 VIP build

Hey guys.. DUBG300 over on 300cforums.com referred me over here.. great find!!
It was really hard to find good looking Chrysler 300s that didnt look like they belonged at a car show in the deep south lol. 

DUB hoked me up on some VIP kit manufacturer brand names to lok at like 7treasures, Job, and even Veliside appears to make Chrysler 300 products.. very cool. Im going for the full OG VIP look, and comming from a big import background, Im ready to pul it off very well Id say. Ill be going for a similar stance:

It seems that the drop and the wheel choice make a bigger difference on this car than any other Ive dealt with in the import world.. it was maddening to chose my wheels , and i finally did today. 
This is my first post in this thread and it will be updated as my "build" progresses.. but assure you, a dreamer I am not. ( see my cardomain page on my 350z builds here:[URL]http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3929104/2005-nissan-350z-enthusiast-coupe-2d/page-1[/URL]) so yes, some of these are simply stock images for now.. ill post my own when they become reality inthe next month. 
I saw youtube video of "Andys VIP 300" and it got me in gear.

I have a 2006 Cool Vanilla 300 Touring V6 that I just bought last Friday. I got it for a daily driver, and found it clean w 60k miles for 12 grand. 
It has a few things on it already that i will likely repair or replace.. one being drop springs and what appaesr to be worn OEM shocks.. as well as blacked out LED tailights. 
It also already has an exhaust system on it.. fine for now.

Sorry i dont have more/better pics. 
Wheels should be here tomorrow.. Im very excited about them.. they are like nothing else Ive seen on 300s so far.

They are MRR HR3s just newly released in staggered fit in 22.. I had them re drilled and the back pad lightly shaved to assure a nice tuck when dropped. They are silver w a machined finish face for a nice shine that stays away from chrome. 
Running 255/30/22 in front and 295/25/22 in back. 
The car will be airbagged on UAS suspension in the future, but for now Im just going to focus on the other items and save that for very last. 

Ill be running pretty standard ICE.. flip out Alpine screen headunit.. Al;one 5 chaneel amp and speakers.. 12w6v3 in the trunk etc etc. 



I have a friend who is willing to swap my taillights for his OEM red halogens, to which I may cook apart and do a halo mod internally for running lights. 
Ill certainly replace everything w CREE LED bulbs as I had in my other car the 350z.. very bright ..and not cheap lol. 


Here's some of my handiwork on the 350z headlights.. lots of work and mods.. great end results.

I really liked these two billet products, i think theyll match up good w the VIP trays..

Ill be replacing all the exterior chrome accents w 3M dinoc vinyl in bright brushed aluminum to sync w the wheels, and this includes the headlight bodies. ( will be painted similar) and will likely do an AAC oracle halo kit in 6k. Grip grille im a matching satin silver... should be cool..I may just wrap it in the same vinyl.. depends on what it looks like when i get it..

I already have possession of full 5k and 6k hid retrofit lighting w flicker capacitors for headlights and fogs, as well as full 5k led lighting 194s and festoon bulbs for the interior as well as a billet catch can ( w a removable top so i can build a proper baffle.. . otherwise these do NOTHING btw) and a polished intake. I assume this will kill power yet sound nice.. thats fine w me. 
If anyone wants to know what i did to build a real vapor baffle in mine, PM me, ill tell you what to buy.

I have a full real CF dash and insert kti on its way, and will likely order a large array of billet pieces to replace the AC and lighting knobs, door locks, mirror control, shifter etc etc..... doing VIp tables, curtains, neck rolls, kiku knots etc.

I think that a lighter grade tint in ceramic will pull that off better than blackout tint, but I did order up a set of light smoke vent shades for the windows as well as several authentic Junction Produce emblems. 

I have a left over set of Strut emblems from another car as well, so i will likely place them as front fender badges and one on the rear of the trunk. 

Im not sure if Ill do a black roof or if Ill do the VIP style trunk and roof wings.. Ill wait to see how it sits before I decide.. anyways.. there's my intro novel.. pics and results to be posted SOON!!!! thanks for reading. Ill produce some progress pics and a build thread once they ( mods) let me lol.

Welcome! Congrats on the new project. You should come by to one of our meets. Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at Tempe Marketplace @ 7:30. Our next one is tomorrow, you should come by!

The sickest 300 ever

Honestly, I think this is the first time I've seen this VIPd. Actually blew my mind for a second. Looking nice.

Sounds like you've got a lot of plans...

I'm in for pics before I judge :)

Yup.. pics or it didnt happen for SURE.. there are alot of dreamers out there lol.. im 35, "single", no kids and make decent cash lol.. so one thing i certainly DO  is buy parts and build cars lol. 
:) 

Ill certainly post pics as it goes. I need some stocker headlights.. as well as taillight wiring for a srt8 style taillight if anyone has them avail or can point me in te right direction.. i need to get rid of these ebay led wonder hunks of crap that are currently on the back of my car lol.

Sup Bro, its Scott from Vivid. 300 should be sick. and it will give you something to do while the 350 remains in Jail.
