300michael - Yes, I'll be looking at my brake switch soon. For now, I'll just make sure I look before I walk away.
Oh, 300mike, you and Otto's posts didn't scare me! I went out with a screwdriver and got as far as removing the bottom panel and then one of the steel plate screws with a 11mm wrench. Once here, I had other stuff to do and decided to put it back together. Maybe tomorrow?
P.S. Love your K&N mods.
Darned JPG compression. I hate what it does to small lettering. Scott, if you can't read the labels on the above picture, just replace the .jpg with .gif. It's about double the size file, but there is no trouble reading the labels.
It's interesting seeing these views with a red car. I'm used to my black car, and pretty much everything in there is black.
I haven't and don't plan on taking the headlamp housings out at this time. I just like to know how to get things apart in case the need comes up. Especially if the method isn't very obvious, which it isn't on the M.
I looked at the housings and KNEW the lenses would NEVER come off the way the manual states.
Otto, you should bring it up at work that the published bulb replacement procedure is wrong in both the 2002 owners manual AND the 2002 service manual. Otherwise there may be some really pissed off owners who try to follow it and damage the headlight assemblies.
P.S. I swear the ONLY thing I've taken apart so far is to pop out the rear seat cushion so I could tuck down the front edge of the trunk carpet. It kept bunching up when I folded the seat back, but not anymore.
As for the rattle, just to make sure that it actually is behind the gauges, I used the simple banging technique. When I wrapped my hand on the upper dash above the gauges, I could here whatever it is, in there rattling. Now, I just have to get to it!
Ah.... finally pics of Christine II. Looking good despite everything she's been through.

Loved reading all your varied tastes in music...it seems to me that 300M owners share a lot in common...not only thrill of driving a great car, but also sharing basically the same music tastes.
Let me add a few of my many favourites that weren't mentioned.
Led Zeppelin - 'Kasmir' & 'Ramble On'
Meat Loaf - 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light'& 'Bat Out of Hell'.
The Alan Parsons Project - 'I Robot' & 'Psychobable'.
The Coors - 'When he's not around' & 'Hopelessly Addicted'.
Peter Gabriel - 'Shock the Monkey' & 'Sledgehammer'.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - 'Karn, Evil' & 'Jerusalem'
Eurythmics - 'Would I lie to you'& 'Sweet Dreams'
I would think that DC instead of looking at adding satellite radio should consider installing a CD player that had a built in MP3 decoder, but I guess that makes too much sense!
I am worried that by trying to remove them I may damage the visor material or at least leave even uglier scarring behind. I know by removing them it is probably illegal, but they bug the hell out of me.
Also has anybody installed the optional Infinity BassLink LC Remote with their Basslink installation. I would like to install a Basslink, but the only way I could convince the wife is have the LC Remote also installed. I love my bass and she hates it, so this way we both could adjust the line output level from the drivers seat when we take turns behind the wheel.
If I was to install the LC Remote I was thinking of installing it inside the ashtray so that the ashtray cover will hide it. Will it fit in there?

http://www.prowleronline.com and do a search on the general discussion board. I recall somebody posting a how to removal there.
I also noted that most of the M owners that have posted do have similar tastes in music, and yes I also ran Alan Parsons through my cassette drive to-day, and yes my car is a mess, but the line-up was unreal at the local carwashes. Our RAT did see his shadow to-day so hope we will soon have car washing weather.
1. Most prowler owners removed their visors altogether
2. Others used solvents to remove the stickers. Note: The prowler visors are vinyl! I don't think we should be trying that on the fabric in the 300M's. It sounded like a complex procedure
3. Others have covered them up with something less intrusive.
There has to be a solution to this somewhere.
I have a three simple questions about your aircharger.
1. Is it fairly simple to add or did you take it to a mechanic?
2. What was the total cost?
3. Is there an increase in performance....basically, was it worth it?
Thanks and best wishes to your son.
Thanks for the good wishes. This little guy is tough as heck. I knew he was going to be the first one broken. lol

Guess I did miss them. Maybe you posted them last summer when I was in FL with limited computer access. Started to catch up on messages when I got home, but there were too many to read. I did mark where I left off though. Hope you find that rattle. Looks like you got some good hints where to look. My car is perfect. 12,200+ miles since 3/28/01. No problems yet! ;-))
sdmike2-
Sorry to hear about your son. You do have your hands full. Boys are always into something! Glad you found the plug for the engine heater! ;-)) You just might need it someday. Does your neighbor still have a car like mine? Have they had any problems? Does it look as shiny as mine? ;-))

KG Design Group who was offering a discount to the PT club members. I can't find this company on the net. Any one else want to try. Also take a look an the PT group site. The black background with the gold emblem and lettering looks good too.
The license plate, though, is what people notice. We did have someone at a gas station actually ask about it and they told us it was also a favorite group of theirs. Here's the vanity plate:

I have these pics in 1536x1024 resolution if anyone wants them... Cardomain kills the resolution...
NICE plate. That's even better looking than our Long Island Sound plate! Very tasteful.

Thanks for the pics! There's NO question that it's a BEAUTY! Imagine that in Inferno Red! WOW!! They will have a REAL winner if they get it right this time!

A silver plaque with the Chrysler logo and wing or the "300M" logo (black on silver) would look great. I will do some searching on the internet today too, I am sure most graphics companies would custom make these - for a price!
