    My Magnum is my daily driver and does not usually get to go to car shows, events, etc. Since I take my Super Bee to the shows, events. Well since my Bee has been to SF a few times and starting to rack up miles on the odo, I decided that the Magnum will make her first trip to Spring Festival 5 in March 2010. So as not to wait until the last minute to get the Magnum ready for Cali., I went ahead and got her ready now.

    This past summer I had my good buddy Colin, at Hurst Collision, shave my rear hatch handle, shave my rear wiper arm hole and smooth the chrome strips out of the rear fascia. As well as paint the lower fascia plastic piece in matching silver.

    Since I drive the Magnum daily I can not leave the Magnum at the painters for more than a few days at a time. So I have been driving my Magnum around with a shaved rear end but not the front end. So last week I took the Magnum back to Colin to have him finish the wagon in preps for trip to Cali.

    Colin shaved and filled the chrome strips in the front fascia as well as the front emblem. He also painted the fog light bezels in matching silver. I really like the way the front end looks now and it matches the rear fascia as well.

    Colin also painted the stock honeycomb grills in gloss black.

    Since the wagon was at his shop I finally had him paint the side windows (a,b,c) pillars in gloss black to give the effect that it is one big side window.

    I had my SCLX club stickers on both side rear windows, but having the side windows painted to look like one. The club stickers did not look right and I removed them. So I had a graphics made for my front window and had the letters vertically so you could read the graphics.

    Colin also painted my license plate frame for me, then I added the wording.

    I also made an addition to my (joke) Fiat emblem on the back of my Magnum. I had these small graphics made up to finish off the emblem.

    I have to install and wire in a remote for my new LED Halo headlights (not installed yet) and get the wagon an alignment and she is ready for SF. For now the outside of the wagon is now ready for SF.

    That's just outstanding. I wish I knew someone at a body shop... I'd love to get the rear wiper and corner strips shaved and smoothed. ...and the fogs and the bezels, and... pretty much everything you did :D

    You can get the SRT/C vinyl graphics from Ron (1Bad4Dr) here on the C. I already have a set of yellow SRT/C graphics for me Bee. But since I am taking my Magnum to SF this year, I needed some silver SRT/C graphics for my windows.

    Here you can see my yellow SRT/C graphics on the back door window of my Bee.
