front chrysler wings
front chrysler wings
has anyone come up with anything for replacing these? i know theres the new decal to put over where it actually says chrysler, but i want to replace the whole damn thing, i think its gaudy and i particularly like people not knowing what the heck it is lmao. but yea, i know the front is held on by rivets and its ugly when its gone as opposed to the rear chrysler wings.
anyone have any ideas?

Re: front chrysler wings
ive been thinking about smoothing it out for a while, but the thought of painting the hood is the only reason i haven't
but perhaps there could be a replacement piece that would achieve the smooth look and go right in were the ugly wing goes. let me know what you do

Re: front chrysler wings
exactly what im going for! ha the rear is completely debadged. only problem with just debading the front is there are big ugly rivet holes behind the front wing, or else id just take it off and put nothing in its place! someone called my car a sebring today... so i really need to change up the front end lol

I can make you something like this if you want something to mess around with, sand down etc.

Downward - let me know about a front wing as well, I have access to a body shop, materials, and if need be professionals I can bribe with beer

Re: front chrysler wings
im so tempted to just take off the wings and smooth the whole thing out, it actually doesent seem like it would be too bad to do at all... im gonna do it take pics along the way so everyone else can see how to do it and so they can decide how it looks.. and i taught myself how to do body work and shaved my whole truck myself (door handles, tailgate, rollpan, antenae ect.) i plan to do it next week once i can gather time and supplies!
