Keith Jarvis owned a Chrysler 300M previous to this one, but they had parted ways in 2005. After a tragic accident, leaving Jarvis with a foot injury and a depleted interest in cars, it took a while before he was ready to jump back into the world of modifying. However, when he found a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special in Texas similar to the one he had owned all those years ago, he booked a 1-way flight and drove it home. Modifications started with simple LED lighting, but he soon caught the mod-bug and from there, the rest is history.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"My favorite modification is the working waterfall in the trunk of M-Pressive. It started with an idea to incorporate something different into the overall trunk design and morphed into a truly unique piece of the car. It attracts attention from everyone at shows and people are amazed, stop in their tracks, turn around and come back, and spread the word which has people searching the car out. I enjoy having people ask why and being able to say why not? To most people it is weird to have working water in a car but I think it does what it was designed to do. Bring attention to the car and it draws a crowd."
