    Are front ends interchangable?

    So basically, is swapping a 300 or charger fenders, hood and bumper an easy bolton to a magnum?

    *Edit* can a mod move this to the general lx discussion?

    The 300 is, but not the charger....lines don't match.

    I was quoted by the dealer for the 300C hood, fenders, and fascia, paint, and install for under $1,200. The deal-breaker is that EACH HID ballast with bulbs and appropriate connectors is about $1,800. Granted, you don't have to get the HID kit... but the ballasts for the normal lights are still expensive.

    To do it how I want it, it would cost a minimum of $4,800. For some reason, I can't find the motivation. The secret is to find someone that wants to swap or to find the parts at a junkyard. And unless you're extremely lucky, there's no such thing as an easy bolt-on with these body panels, odd gaps and tight fits are bound to occur if you do it yourself...

    after a few years, id bet the 300 parts will be easy to come buy on ebay or parts yards. There are so many of them on the streets now.
