This month we have a very in-depth Fan Showcase we’d like to share with you all the goes by the elusive name DARK300.
The DARK300 really caught our eye when looking through of Fan Showcase submissions from its unique look to its impressive record on and off the show floor. In fact, we liked his ride so much we decided to sponsor him.
MOPAR fans and people who love their mods will really have a smile on their face while reading this entry.
So without keeping you waiting any longer, here’s our EZ Lip July 2016 Fan Showcase!

About the Build:
My name is David Gutierrez and I own a 2007 Chrysler 300 LWB. It has been my dream, my passion and a labor of love to get it to where it is today. My #DARK300 has been a SEMA 2014 feature vehicle as well as a winner at many other car shows. I’ve placed at Extreme Autofest in Anaheim, Forbidden Fantasy, Relaxin in SoCal and countless others. I have also been a booth car for several companies and many shows such as DUB LA, SPOCOM, SpringFest to name a few. My car has also been featured on Chrysler’s Official Facebook page, been photographed for online magazines & advertisements, and has been in the feature film release of “The ABC’s of Death 2” that was released October 2015.
My car is a 2007 Chrysler 300 LWB with a 3.5 V6 motor. Painted Brilliant Black Pearl. The first thing that sets it apart from other 300s is the fact that it’s the long wheel base 300. For the last 4 years that I have been attending SpringFest (Over 1000 Chrysler and Dodges) I have been the ONLY LWB to attend. Chrysler actually sent my car to Accubuilt a company in Ohio to have it cut in half and extended. The added 6 inches to the interior translates to over 10.2 cubic feet of interior room. From the outside of the vehicle this is only noticeable looking at the side rear door windows. They are considerably longer than a stock 300.
