-M
and sounds ok.I thought the price was fairly reasonable and didn't cost any more with the extra muffler or work after the initial install

Don't jump ship! Keep the M!
lol
:-D
Anybody bought this sub ? How is it ? Do you think it worth the money?
LOL..........it might be an M3, but it's missing the 00! ;-)) Besides, it wouldn't look as good as BigRed in front of your house!

Also had to have the seals around the headlights redone as the adhesive had failed. Flickering lights fixed by repairing a wire in the dash that was apparently shorting out and a new headlight button for the dash.
I am now at 38K and praying I don't have to use my extended warranty.
Start of story- At the start of my search for a new car I didn't even consider Chryser as I'd seen the butt ugly Intrepids etc. and didn't give even think to visit them. I got the financing in place and had actually had a check made out to to our local Accura dealer to consumate the deal the next day. Man was I excited. Went into my local watering hole that afternoon (I'm on holidays.I'm allowed) and yapped of to anyone who would listen about my imependig new car. The guy sitting next to me happened to be a Chrsyler salesman from our local dealer who said I should check out a 2001 300M that they had in their show room that was the dealers owners demo car with 3500 miles on it. It had been down to Florida last winter and had not seen the snow,road salt etc. we have up here in Ontario. So the next morning on the way to hand over my check for the Accura I figured I'd drop in to be nice and and say," Oh that's nice but I'm on my way to buy my Accra"
The 300M was in the showroom, my jaw dropped when I saw it and I'm sure I started dooling all over it. It had the luxury pacakge, Mopar spoiler, Bra on the front (Where else) rain defectors ( which may or may not stay on) 17" aluminium wheels with full sized spare. Tore up my check to the Accura dealer and wrote another one to the Chrstsler dealer. I am in love. Car has allready been named "Beast"
P.S. Inferno red
Many of the places do not require you to join. Also we get together at the Wednesday night Chat session which is at 10 PM eastern time (there is a link to it from the above club site) where we talk about the cars and other things. If you decide to join us two warnings. One it takes a while to load, and two start your chat name with a Letter, not a number. You can check out the club and see if it is for you while you are at it.
What part of the country are you in. I hope you are in AZ.
Again Welcome to the group.

on my 1999 300M's Camel interior.
It can be used as if it was paint.
Guess its just another one of those minor annoyances of the M---just hope I get all these little glitches solved before the warranty is up-
Lolita goes in for service at end of this month--I'll let you know if my 2* solves Lolita's recent ailments.

Finally, here is my custom clock face. Scotian should be real proud of these. He has a gallery of dozens of them and makes them for free.

You should join "This Thing of Ours" formally called the Chrysler 300M Enthusiasts Clubs--lots of benefits and great logo apparel and eventually logo mats and other neat stuff---and a great bunch of fellow M'ers to share M experiences and even live M--meets.
Dont forget to get that "Beauty" Zainoed as soon as possible to give it the mirrorlike finish.

I hate road salt with a passion, and road salt will seep and accumulate into a hard crust everywhere water will take it, and it is particularly hard to remove it from the corners of the carpet.
Actually, I might want both sets of mats, and trim the rubber one...

* a certificate of Membership custom-printed on simulated parchment paper with your name.
* a laminated membership card with your name and 300m info
* a sheet of 'wipercards' -- small 'businesscard-size' cards that you can place under the wiperblades of unsuspecting 300m's you may run across.
* Welcome letter from our President
* last but not least a static cling decal for a window of your 300m
Lst last, but not least is a link http://www.autosportcatalog.com/
to a guy who sent me an email asking if we could put a link on our Club website. I told him to -at the least- email Roger about the request as this is not a decision to made by just one person. Since there's been a lot of discussion about floor mats, here's a link to the site about floormats:
http://www.autosportcatalog.com/product_detail.cfm?product_id=584
For the record, I have no financial interest in this website, nor is the owner a long-lost distant relative. The prices seem reasonable--as floor mats go, but it MAY not be what scotian & others are looking for.

I've found a dealer here in Ontario that sells the Zaino products but as the daytime temperatures
are now only around 40 degrees I'm afraid that it will have to wait until the spring unless I can find a heated garage to use. Hmmmm! I only live about 30 miles from the Brampton Chrysler plant where it was built. Perhaps Otto could convince the powers to be that as a good customer relations project they could provide a heated area with washing facilities(and a stocked bar) where we guys in the cold north could Zaino our cars in the winter. Failing that I'm afraid that poor Beast will have to sit out in the snow ( Snow for you guys on the west coast and down south is that white stuff that looks like the cotton batting you take out of the asprin bottle, only it's colder)
As for modifications, I've listened to sdmike's sound file re: his duals and me want. Looking for a shop now that has done one on the 300M in this area. I don't want to be the first they tried in case thy screw it up. Failing that I may UPS Beast down to Ed Hansons to get it done there:)
1) Is the Magnlow collector shown the unit that is on the stock car or part of the new dual installation. If it's new why couldn't the original collector be re-used?
2) I looked underneath my car and see that there is a bumper support that looks like it is exactly where the second set of tips would have to come through . Was this removed, relocated or do the tips just come out to the right hand side of it
3) Have you had any problems with the dealer reagrding warrentee with the duals installed.
Last night I went outside to just look at Beast about every half hour or so. My wife asked me what I was doing so I told her. She just shook her head.They just don't understand do they.

Congratulations on your "beast"! I had a 99 Candy Apple Red 300M! Love the color. You can Zaino in 40 degrees! I do it all the time in the WINTER here in Connecticut. We aren't as lucky as some here who have pleasant weather ALL YEAR round! ;-)) Just Z it in the sun. No problem. Hope to see some pics soon!

I doubt the extra height will be troublesone, especially considering the protection my carpeting will get. Even if they get coated with road salt, it's still better than any of my carpeting having the same happen -- just remove and spend time cleaning, instead of screwing around in the car. I'm thinking of getting both the Nifty and Weathertech -- but hoping that the EXTREME VINYL MATS are as described above.
I love your idea of a special heated facility to sit around and drink while we zaino our cars. I have one here...it's called "my driveway". lol! One of the perks of San Diego I guess.
My wife takes our 300M to work today. Half the time she take our '96 and the other half she drives the M. Me, I drive one of our company's trucks.
My wife walks through the door of our house tonight while I am screwing around with the software that came with the CD-RW I just installed Monday night. She looks beautiful and has this big smile on face. She kisses me and tells me that she has "something to tell me and would I please promise not to get mad!" Man, I am not the Taliban! If I get mad I get mad and it's my problem from there! I thought she was going to tell me that she got another door ding. But no, her ASSistant(my wife is the boss) backed into the front passenger side of our M!
The DAMages! Good size dent on the passenger side fender were the metal meets the front fascia by the head lights. This pushed in the front fascia so that the driver side head lights has a twice the gap that it use to. Broken lower turn signal. Looks like $2500 in DAMages.
Her company insurance will be picking up the tap but I wish it never happened!
Now comes MY pain and suffering!
I just wanted to say that my lawsuit is set for 11/30/01 wish me luck
but in all honesty, just find the best body shop around and I'm sure the car will come out just fine---I've had my share of accidents, and as long as I used a reputable bodyshop, the repairs were better than expected--when I looked for a bargain, I got what I paid for---dont settle for less than the best--
a month from now the pain will be forgotten as you settle back into your bit of heaven--make sure you get yourself a nice rental car of equivalent value--maybe a nice Eldorado will help soothe the nerves--just send the bill to your wife's company---after all, they should do anything to keep the boss happy ;-)
Oh, by the way, Ed uses the same tips on his custom PT Cruiser...which is the exact same color as Big Red. If you DO find a web site that he uses for those let me know! I haven't been able to get it out of him. lol
Good luck!
