might be slightly more, but the chrome trim for the bumper recesses on a Magnum.
Should be able to buy a roll for $18-25.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize I was in the 300 section.

Not the "real" strips, but the stick-on ones are cheap as anything!

You definitely can't go wrong w/ any of the above mentioned mods. I really like that chrome strip across the front dash. Nice subtle touch.

He posted a vulgar link in his sig.

Cheap mod-buying one of those cone filters at auto zone and replacing your airbox with it. makes your car sound like a monster.

Very nice suggestion of mods...I need more info on the Fan mod, Tstat mod, no Esp mod. I heard about them, but not sure what they are or where to get them, or what they do.

Hopefully this works - copied it from the thread I started at 3CF:

I really hated looking around at all the nice, clean & beautiful 300's we have in the DFWLX Club - and then looking at the plain Jane commuter front on mine. So, I decided to do something about it. I was at Autozone anyway getting touch up paint for a rock chip, and an idea hit mehttp://www.300cforums.com/forums/images/smilies/new/twak.gif . Why not make my own color matched bumper hole fillers? Granted, this is not some super-hot mod, but for a budget it makes a difference...

Here is the front before:
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/Pugnacious_bucket/HPIM0397.jpg

Now, taking off the bracket is easy - but look at what the dealer did to my bumper!
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/Pugnacious_bucket/HPIM0398-1.jpg

Now I am starting to think maybe I should put this back on...http://www.300cforums.com/forums/images/smilies/new/ponder.gif But I had already done the hard part so I went ahead with it.

This is what I got at Autozone:
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/Pugnacious_bucket/HPIM0403.jpg

To make these: (sorry, fat hand got in way of good picture)
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/Pugnacious_bucket/HPIM0399.jpg

And, a few careful reams with a pocket knife later, my front end now looks much better:
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/Pugnacious_bucket/HPIM0400.jpg

Granted, the color match is not 100% spot on, but thats because I think I used too much clearcoat - not bad for a first try though.

How's that go with the air bag? You're not going to get a piece of chrome embedded in your melon? Unintentional chrome forehead mod?

Good question, but air bag deploys higher up on the dash as shown in this pic.
