Yeah Scotian, I definently agree about the Razorstar rims they're gorgeous. I'm trying to find out if Chrysler actually cast these themselves or who OEM'd them for DC. I'd like a set of 4 (or 5) 18" x 8" Razorstar rims myself. When they mounted my new Michelins today I took a close look at the unmounted rim. no obvious clues there. there's a small logo on the chrome that looks like " JIL ", and on the inside of the rim there's a Chrysler "pentastar" logo. No other clues I could see to identify who actually cast the wheel for DC. I did find out who does the beautiful chrome plating. In my old Badyears I found a barcode label that had come off the rim. Kuntz Electroplating in Ontario, Canada Check out www.kuntz.com it has images of our beautifully chromed split 5 spoke rims all over their site. Yo Av, since you got that unmounted rim handy, do you see anything that ID's it's maker? I guess I just have a hard time believing DC did this wheel "strictly inhouse" and would like to find a source for these rims (hopefully in different sizes). thanks folks. tnsc_300m |

| You could still do everything without removing the trunk lock; you'd just have to mount the wing emblem a bit lower and carve out enough from it so the lock fits in. Make sure you install the nylon cord. | |
| I like the way 20s look on the M, but are they practical for driving to work and back every day? | |
| Razorstars- Hey tnsc, Dc does not make this wheel themselves , they buy them. I used to know who did them but it slips my mind . I will look into this at work and try and get some info for you . I do have a feeling that they are done some place in Ontario .We no longer use this rim ,but I imagine the same company makes others for us.. | |

For those who are considering doing this, it really is a piece of cake. I didn't heat my lettering with a blow dryer--it was a hot, sunny day and didn't pose any problems. I tried the floss trick on the first couple of letters, then discovered it was just as easy to simply get my thumbnail under a corner and start peeling the letters back (they're a very flexible plastic--almost like a foam). After getting them off, I used WD-40 to clean up the remaining residue, then went over the areas with some Zymol Cleaner Wax. I did both sides and the trunk in less than a half hour. The new look is, to my eye, nicer and makes the car look a little more customized. I'm considering taking the 300M badges off the sides, but I'm a little uncertain whether it would be a plus. Anyone have photos of a clean-sided M? Is the technique basically the same as for the lettering? |

Be prepared if you do that... there are holes under there that accomodate the side blinkers found on the eurpoean M's. Avalanche has a clean-sided M... even took off the body moulding. Don't have the website available to my ready, but I'm sure if he reads this, he'll point you in the direction of a picture -m |

u know me pretty good myke..
i took off the 300m emblem up on the front fenders, and i filled in that accent line when i shaved the handles, cuz if you leave the accent line the car looks like one HUGE 2 door.
no emblems, no bagding, no accent line, nothing at all except for that chrysler wing at the front. and that will be gone soon. i don't do this out of hate for chrysler or anything, lol. its the "in thing" to do now, right herm? |
