Darth Vader's Chrysler 300..

My cousin came up with this thing. He fitted a charger front on this car, and then painted it entirely black. Saturday was the first time I had seen it. Same guy that painted my front bumper.

Should post that on the lxfourm.....

Grip tuning front bumper. I looked into it for mine but it's just way too low I'd smash that thing in 5 minutes.
Also don't like the blacked out headlights. And he should've took the side moldings off.

The tails don't bug me, although they do look a bit dark.

Never understood tinted headlights though, I always thought the general consensus was, "brighter is better." Would look awesome with a blackhoused projector retrofit.

Other than that, it looks good..can't go wrong with black. I don't like the Charger front end better than the 300 front end though...thats the best part of the car.

Not my style, especially the headlights, but it's obvious he takes pride in his car so more power to him.

Props for the work. Definitely unique. Tinted anything other than windows isn't my thing, hopefully he doesn't get pulled over a lot.

Take a 4G TL and do those mods and it really would look like Darth Vader's helmet

How do you see at night with those blacked out headlights? I have a co-worker who owns a 300 with super dark tinted headlights and asked him how is it at night? He said it's fine so one night after work, I parked next to him and turn on both our headlights. He was speechless; my led maglight shines brighter than his headlights!
Other than that, I live the steathy look!

I don't mind it. I think that the front is a little too "round" compared to sware-ish back, but I can look past that. Not a fan of black headlights and tails. I like the uniqueness of this, and I am sure you won't be seeing any other ones out there, great job

He mentioned it was difficult to see at night haha. I'm sure he will change it. Black housing projectors would be optimal in my opinion. He also has another project where he is working on making a charger into a coupe. lol. This guy is crazy.

Yup.

BUT...West Coast Customs already made a Charger Coupe....complete in Hemi Orange with the Dukes 01 on the sides. They take it car shows here around So Cal.

I'm with some others. The craftsmanship look good, but the lines don't flow. That aftermarket Charger fascia looks droopy, and its further enhanced by having the front lower than the rear.

It just looks "off" to me.

That first pic looks pretty sick. But then in the pics from the other angles you can just see that it doesn't quite look right. That said, the craftsmanship appears top notch.

True...but modern challengers are on a shortened version of Charger Chassis.

300, Charger, and Magnum run on the LX chassis, the Challenger is the LY...which most people consider pretty much the same thing.

do they make some kind of nice lip kits for these? I think some tasteful sides and rear can make the front be level and not so droopy and make it look much better

Ugh on those Charger coupes. Deep dish 20"+ wheels is a fad that needs to die already.

It's 2012, concave is in.





Not to bash the craftsmanship, but yeah....

I think those Charger coupes would look fantastic if they did away with those huge wheels and obnoxious colours.

I also like everything except the blacked out lights. But I never like blacked out lights. Plus they aren't even legal here.

Yup!! Kind of why I said yes and no. Yes b/c it's the LX chassis all around... no b/c they do not look alike.

If someone likes the Charger look over the Challenger, but wants the 2-door, then I get why someone would want a Charger "coupe". And I have seen that "General Lee" version... pretty cool...
