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.

Mmmmm... no, I'd take a 300S instead.
how can a tuning job be worse than the original car?
dat look phat dog. dammmmn.
Not impressive. Sorry.
Weaksauce. I can't stand tucked rides.
Rip-off. The Kool Whip GTI had that same custom scheme years ago. You'd think he'd try to do something original. looks goos on a GTI; not on a 300.
FAIL, starting with those "wheels".
This may sound terrible but its true, I would never buy a 300 because of all these stupid garrish customs you see riding around......just not a good image
Still looks like a giant TURD
They had to push the crowd to get a reaction. Find it hard to beleive anyone would rate this car above average.
I think putting money into a bad design to start with is the problem.
Chrysler had success with the van and now make all their cars look like vans. No shape, just oversized bricks.
MAN THE HARPOONS!!!
The rear wheel wells are a joke, I'd fiRe the guy that radiused the rear wheel openings, or failed to make them conform to the wheels.
Looks like a custom by J C PENNY
An albino turd
Suprised they did not mount 14" wheels sticking 4" out side the body. That w.ho like these bulbous monstrocities
Love the harpoon comment. It does look like MOBY DICK
you people sound really old.
A couple of you will say that you are not old - that you just don't like bad taste - which of course means you don't like what you consider other people's bad taste - you just like your own bad taste.
i like the chrysler 300s! now that's sweet :)
to each his own...
a car should reflect a person's own personality...
it's called choice, men
Heads up fellow Carscoopers! the 300 was recently compared with the highly acclaimed Hyndai Genesis by MOTOR TREND and won!
