New Fascia Upgrade [photos included]

[MooNDoGGie]

Just thought you guys might want to see my latest mods. Upgraded the front fascia and colour matched the fog light bezels and eyelids. I also shaved the ram emblem and filled the chrome bumper insert holes. Enjoy!

Suuuuuweeeeeet! Very nice look!:thumbs_u:

[iRock]

Looks nice! Good work.

[Token]

Very nice Andrew!!!

Now stay away from those raccoons

[Jaak]

Looks great Andrew, but of course, I already knew that... :) I enjoy a similar view!

[obiwan]

Sure looks pretty! I do like that color, arrest me red!

[Cdn_Magnum]

Andrew.. the pix dont do it justice. Looks great in person!!!

Too bad you had to get this done due to an accident, but what better way to get a unified front end on the Magnum :)
Also the body colour matched rear spoiler finishes the whole car off!!

Nively done my friend!!

[Magnumb_SRT]

Looks great!!! Interested in some SRT stock suspension to go with that SRT look ;-)

[Cdn_Magnum]

Looks great!!! Interested in some SRT stock suspension to go with that SRT look ;-)


He has a lowered suspension already :)

[Magnumb_SRT]

Actually just re-looked at the pics and saw that. Sorry guys......looks great still ;-)

[MAGFX]

Boy Andrew, that is really slick! Great job. :rock:

Nice touch on the filled holes and emblem indentation. And you got to finally use the SRT8 lower grille.

Oh, and nice wheels, buddy. :thumbs_u:

[Jina's Embroidery]

That looks great! I didn't know anyone made the red eyelids, where did you get them?

[05SXT]

Andrew,
The SRT front end looks great :rock:

Can't wait to see it in person.

[MooNDoGGie]

Thanks Dave. I hope to avoid raccoons in the future :)

[MooNDoGGie]

Sure looks pretty! I do like that color, arrest me red!

Well I hope I don't get arrested :) Thanks man!

[MooNDoGGie]

Actually just re-looked at the pics and saw that. Sorry guys......looks great still ;-)

Yep I've had KW coilovers for a year now. Handle like a dream. Better than stock srt suspension because you can adjust the ride height. :thumbs_u:

[MooNDoGGie]

Boy Andrew, that is really slick! Great job. :rock:

Nice touch on the filled holes and emblem indentation. And you got to finally use the SRT8 lower grille.

Thanks pal. Yeah I've had that grill sitting around for about 8 months. I was gonna try and incorperate it into my original fascia like you did Jonn but this worked out better for me. You inspired me to do this btw. :)



Oh, and nice wheels, buddy. :thumbs_u:


Jonn if it wasnt for you bustin' out that great deal on the Zinik 20's with Toyo Proxis S/T's on them I would never have been able to put my car at the level its at. Thanks so much Jonn. You made it happen for me. I will buy you another breakfast if you are ever back in our area.

Still missing MagFX on da west side! :rock:

[MooNDoGGie]

That looks great! I didn't know anyone made the red eyelids, where did you get them?

Thanks for the compliments. I didn't buy the lids inferno read. I had them colour matched. They were black when i bought them from my good pal Russ. However they were paint ready.

[MooNDoGGie]

Andrew,
The SRT front end looks great :rock:

Can't wait to see it in person.

And you will see them very soon Brian. Thanks bud! :beerchug:

[MooNDoGGie]

And from first to last and not least, thanks Russ you in particular have inspired me to do mods with your simple approach and ingenious ideas.

Thanks Inked Gamer! They are vinyl AND they are painted. :)

[STAGE 3 R/T]

Great job!

[CANDYAPPLE]

Geez Andrew. that looks fantastic!!! Now, what do I need to run into, in order to match that look????? lol You mentioned about the license plate location....much smoother looking than stock. I'll bet you are the only one with Inferno red eyelids too!!!!!


Great job!!


Cheers CANDYAPPLE:beerchug:

[dankent]

looks nice :)



:pepper:

[Obsidian]

Well I hope I don't get arrested :) Thanks Hassan!

I think you have me mixed up with Obiwan. :mrgreen:

Looks great bud! :thumbs_u:

It was good seeing you and Russ yesterday.

[7thS0N]

Great job MoonDoggie :thumbs_u:-

I've been toying with the same idea for a little while now. Did you need any special parts for this, or is it just the bumper cover and black belly pan thingy?

[MooNDoGGie]

I had to go back and look at that post. Your right I did call Obiwan by your name. :doh:


Sorry guys.

No all bolt on parts. I did have to fill the holes for the chrome strips on the bumper though.

[MooNDoGGie]

Thanks Ken. Yes I like that location for the tag. Nice and low. Its not my idea though. Lots of people on here have done it. Yeah I guess that I might be the only one with inferno red lids.

Hey Andrew,

The car looks great! I'm glad everything came together for ya.

Bluewagn...

[Darthvader]

Wow awesome pictures. Car really looks very nice,clean,just a great job moondoggie

[Simans82]

Looks great!

[Magma]

Looks great man!

Thats's something I'd LOVE to do as well... (one of these days!) :)

Cant wait to see it in person.

[GoofyTimL]

I've been hesitant to do eyelids on my Bright Silver MSRT8 because I wasn't sure how a body color lid (except for black) would look. But yours look great... and you say they are vinyl AND painted. Explain please?

My pin red striping is vinyl so I'm not adverse to a vinyl application, but who knows if my local guy could match my body color... I'll have to ask him.

Could you post some pics illustrating the vinyl vs. painted portions, etc? Please?

[MooNDoGGie]

Thanks, a little different MooNDoGGie today than you saw last time we met man. :)

Darth, coming from you that is a great compliment. Your car is one I've always admired.

Looks great!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Its the people on this forum that inspires me. Adam you should drop down to the west side for a sunday coffee meet sometime this summer. Your more than welcome as is everybody else on LX forums. :beerchug:

These eyelids are urathane i believe. Somebody step in here and correct me if I'm wrong. They come with adhesive on the back and they are designed for a magnum headlight. My first set I just left black and went with a contrast look. However with this new fascia I had them colour match them for me. They painted them prior to putting them on the headlight. There is flex agent added to the paint to aid in the panels being bent to match the conture of the car.[/quote]

Here is some pictures of the eyelids on my car before I changed the fascia.

I hope this helps.

[obiwan]

Who makes those eye brows, nice looking.

[FactoryD]

Look great man! I need to get some eyelids.

[rander]

Cool bro! Quick inspection seems that the hood where the latch is a bit seperated. Is it the picture or did you have some trouble fitting it properly.

[rander]

MoonDog, after further inspection is seems the headlights through me off. Now, i see. Now that is an awesome look!! Good job!

[Higshemi]

Looks great bud!

[lowriderman3]

Nice and very clean!!

[kevdupuis]

The kind of look I'd like for my Mag, different colour of course. :wink:
Glad to see it back together. :thumbs_u:

[Nightshade]

Looks awesome dude..

now watch out for the critters..

You have a spare pair of foglight bezels now? I like the colour matched look..

Adam at eastway mentioned that he could paint my chin spoiler when they are doing my facia (they didn't match it when they put the new hood on).. since there are some flaws in the paint on the hood and stuff painted into the clear on the front quarter panels, they can do the facia when they redo the hood and panels.. would be nice to get the bezels done too..

Would love to do an SRT front end, but out of pocket that would be a bit too spendy.. :)

[GoofyTimL]

Thanks for the explanation and additional pics. Now how about a link to the outfit that sells these. Don't think I've seen anything like that before. How much? Where from?

I definitely like their 3-D look vs. a thin film of paint on the lens. Definitely the way to go IMO. Just throw us the info... please again!

[RedAlert]

Well done! You do nice work.

[MooNDoGGie]

Some of the best eyelids you can buy. I would suggest painting them though...I bought a set 6 months ago, and since my car was black, I left them black...They now have a greenish tint to them, but I have a brand new set that is going on when I get my car out of the paint shop next week.

[CANDYAPPLE]

Andrew...how's the new front end held up after a week's driving? Miss or hit any little critters?????


Cheers CANDYAPPLE:beerchug:

[hemiwagn]

Andrew -- I am way behind on the news -- it looks great man. Of course I am partial to that plate location.

I still had what I thought were spare silver versions of amber bulbs for you -- but I finally plugged them in last weekend and they were blue! So I kept this useless part around for 9 months. Sorry man.

okay now i have to ask the smart a$$ question -- you gonna get at SRT6 emblem from the crossfire for your tailgate?

[Jaak]

Andrew, it looks kickass... I should know, I smile everytime I see mine! You did a great job!

[MooNDoGGie]

Cheers CANDYAPPLE:beerchug:

No hits yet Ken. I have modified my route lately. I've been taking the 401 home at night. The reason I used to stay of the 401 is because I have a lead foot. If I get on a 400 series highway I tend to drive way to fast. So I have been putting the cruise on this past week and It seems to keep me legal. God I have to stay legal for a few months. I can't take another ticket :)

Thanks Greg! Yes I decided that my front tag has to go when I ever get a srt fascia as soon as I saw your ride! I couldn't imagine punchin' two holes in that fascia as soon as i paid for it :) Its the perfect location. You inspired that mod for sure man!

No problem on the silver bulbs Greg. I won't try to pretend that I'm not disappinted. :) However I'll just have to drive down to Niagra Falls and get another set some time :) Its all good. Thanks for the thought. Your a man of your word for sure!

Greg I think you MUST know the answer to that SRT6 question before you asked it. I would never EVER misbadge my car. That is something I would never do. I just simply love the look of the SRT fascia. I am however attempting a performance upgrade with the new JBL headers from HHP. I know its never gonna be a SRT but I do want to make it a bit meaner. :mrgreen:

Andrew, it looks kickass... I should know, I smile everytime I see mine! You did a great job!

Thank you Jim and thank you to everyone else I haven't address that have had nice words for my mods. I'm really happy with the way its turned out and I promise I'll never rebadge my ride. :thumbs_u:

[Jaak]

Well hopefully you'll have my luck with the second one. (First one kissed a Caddie...) The second took out a Racoon without a scratch. Poor thing. Silver bulbs... Let me go look... Hmm....

[hemiwagn]

Hey Andrew re the badge--I know you wouldn't man. BUT your car IS approaching hypothetical LX-SRT6 levels with all the mods you have done:
-top of the line suspension; performance wheels; I think you have CAI-right?, upcoming headers; zoomers, and the aggressive look that sets it apart. It has to be one of the top 3.5 kick ass cars around. You almost need your own badge like SXT-GT!

I will be ordering some spare silver/amber bulbs eventually, I'll be sure to get lots.

[stitchmonkey]

have you ever thought of crackin open the lights and color matching them that would be sweet. I love the Ram badge shaved off I did that to Charlotte just about a year ago her makes the car look so much smoother

[MooNDoGGie]

Yes I did think of doing that a when I first got the car. However I decided not to when I saw the black heads. They look pretty good in there own. Yeah the shaved ram head I do like.

[MooNDoGGie]

Well I'm not really much of a badge lover anyways Greg. :) Thanks for thinking of me on the bulbs too! :thumbs_u:

I hope to see ya at a couple of meets this summer also. Geez I don't think I have seen you since copsNcars last year.

Yeah its a shame too.... but hopefully Greg will be able to make it out to some of the Cruises or Meet & Greets between now and the fall.

[COLORADOMAGNUM]

Looks absolutely badass, Andrew. Awesome job!!!

[TWIST3D BLACK MAG]

Simply Put........

Awesome !!!!

[Magmania]

Looks really sharp. Nice job.

[ceemego]

Sorry, but wait till you see the 08 srt8 fronts.They are to die for.

[Cdn_Magnum]

Sorry, but wait till you see the 08 srt8 fronts.They are to die for.

Bring a front end next meet :) I'll let my car be the experiment to try it on ;)

[Slim's Magnum]

Man, that is a sweet looking car! I can't believe that I have missed this thread until now. Now you have me really thinking about color matching some eyelids.
I wasn't sure about the look till I saw yours.

And about the license plate?

it looks great man. Of course I am partial to that plate location.

I feel the same way! (lol)

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m109/slimsmagnum/Licenseplatemod002-1.jpg

I got the idea also from Greg. But I sawed off my plate to make it fit, which looks like what you did also. Great job on the car. :thumbs_u:

[hemiwagn]

not to hijack but Slim -- did you get the rest of the stripes finished?

[Christopher]

looks good !!

[boschargerrt]

sweeet look...i luv the plate idea, but i don't know if it's illegal to do that in mass....later - jimmy
