avalenzuela1 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 So I Recently Saw The Dodge Journey Blacktop Edition And In My Opinion I Feel It Looks Real Nice. Im Not So Into Aftermarket Looks But Im Willing To Convert A 2012 Dodge Journey Sxt Into Looking Like That. I Was Wondering If I Can Get A Few Opinions Wheter To Do It Or Leave It As Is. If I Do End Up Doing This Mod The Plan Would Be To Paint The Chrome On The Grill Black And Also paint The Silver Piece Located On The Bottom Of The Bumper. Take The Headlight Apart And Paint The Chrome Located Inside As Well As Tint The Tailights A Light Coat Or Maybe Dark. I Can Also Get The Same Rims On Ebay Already Painted For About 1000.

DTSGUY Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Im doing the same thing to my 2010 Journey. Ive already done a few things. If you like your wheels you can have them powder coated black like I did to mine. It cost me $100.00 per wheel including the red stripe. I still need to do a few other things to complete it but I need to try to slow down cause Ive put in a lot of money into it already even though I ordered 2 more things for it just last night. I have a list of things that Ive done here. Just click the link below and check out my pictures in my gallery if you would like. I hope it all works out for you. http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/4933-lots-done-already/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalenzuela1 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Wow honestly your rims look nice for them to be stock. The only problem is i have the sxt version and i honestly dont find the rims to attractive and was looking into changing them for the rt version already painted black. Heres the link to the rims im telling you about. http://m.ebay.com/itm/181050590591?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTSGUY Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thank You. My Journey is an SXT also. The rims that I had powder coated are the ones that came with it. What size are your rims? Mine are 19". avalenzuela1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalenzuela1 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) http://www.originalwheels.com/dodge-wheels/images/dodge-journey-rims-2372.jpg the rims ar 17" and look like these. Im not sure why some sxt have different rims but i deffinetly prefer the 19" over the 17". Heres a picture of the Dodge Journey. http://imgur.com/CMVhtD8 Edited October 18, 2013 by avalenzuela1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTSGUY Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I can understand why you wanna get different rims. Yours look good but only 17". Bigger ones will look much better. If I had 17" and was gonna buy new ones I would go with 20" because ther are much more options for tires than there are for 19" but since mine are 19" Ill stick with mine. The ones that I personally like are. http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Inch-Matte-Black-Chrysler-300c-SRT8-factory-OE-Replica-Wheels-Dodge-Charger-/281071796523?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item41712f412b&vxp=mtr I did see the same ones that you like on ebay in a 20". Do some research on 19" and 20" tires that will fit your Journey and go from their. Let me know what you decide Im curious to know. Thanks.

Bubba Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I have 20 inch rims on mine , gloss black , Also tinted headlights, blacked out grill, tinted windows ,light tint on tail lights . I have pics in my gallery of the things I have done . Edited October 18, 2013 by Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalenzuela1 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 DTSGUY Those Rims Are Amazing. Im Having A Bit Of A Struggle Deciding But Since Money Is Tight Im Going To Hold Off On The Rims And In The Meantime Do The Rest. Bubba Your Truck Looks Amazing. Only Problem Is I Believe Its Illegal To Tint The Headlights In Illinois. So Imma Do A Bit More Work And Just Take Apart The Headlights And Paint The Chrome Black. Im Also Looking To Tint The Tailights A Little Bit More Darker But Overall Your Truck Is Amazing With Those Replica Rims.
