The original Chrysler 300 is perhaps one of the most popular cars in the tuning industry here in the States, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Detroit automaker is using the car’s successor to tap into the custom scene.
The very first customized 2011MY Chrysler 300 is called the Fatchance 2.0 and it made its debut alongside the firm’s “S” concept cars at this past weekend’s Annual Spring Festival of LXs in California (see here). The low-rider 300 was crafted by John Fortuno aka Fatchance, who apparently caught the attention of Chrysler with his first generation 300-based FatChance 1.0.
The FatChance 2.0 300 has a rather clean look with exterior modifications including dark headlamps, a new front grille with a mesh insert, bespoke fog light surround trims, tinted and windows. The body is painted in a white hue and comes with a contrasting matte black finish for the grille surround, mirrors, bumper trims and logos. The lowered ride and the massive 22-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in Nitto Tires measuring 255/30/22 at the front and 295/25/22 at the back complete the look.
Fortuno said that the custom 300 is an ongoing project that will be completed in time for the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November. Among other things, Fortuno plans to modify the car’s interior and mechanical hardware.
