You can get a black plastic scuff guard from Mopar that covers the top of your rear bumper to protect it from scratches. It works great and you can put it on yourself.

I just got a 2005 Red Magnum with a Hemi--I love it. I want to get a nose bra for it but my husband says it will mess up the paint--I know Mopar says 'no', but does anyone have one, that's had it for a while?
I sure don't want to mess up the paint, but don't want the chips and bugs either.
tks, Dorothy

Dorothy, I have a red Magnum RT as well and I have the black plastic nose bra. I only use it for trips, but it has been a lifesaver for the front end. It will not hurt the paint unless you put it on or leave it on when it is wet or you don't make sure the inside of the bra and front end of the Magnum is clean when you put it on. The real harn is if you leave it on when it is wet for too long. It can cause the paint to cloud up. My experience has been nothing but positive with mine.

Just want to see if this is a normal phenomenom
 
Would you RT hemi owners do a test for me and let me know the results?
 
Start car cold, completely cold.
Idle for 30 seconds. Turn off.
Wait 30 minutes and re start. See if oil smoke comes out the exhaust.
They wait time can be a little more or less, but the run time must not get it warm or even close, so sta around 30 seconds.
 
Let me know Here or tljbendcable.com

Well, we defiinetly have a lot of wet here--my husband still doesn't want me to get one, but think I will to use for some of the time anyway. I don't even want to take it out when the weather is nasty--it's so pretty. I just don't want those chips in the front--thanks for your reply.

Dorothy... I just picked my Magnum up last Thursday and love it. I will putting a product called stongard (www.stongard.com) on the front. It is a clear plastic film (I forget how thick) that is placed on the front and when installed is almost invisible. It is not a cheap product but works very well. I have been using this on my cars for years. When I traded my old car for the Magnum I showed the dealer what it was and when we peeled it off... a completely nick free front end after 92k miles and yes the roads in the Northeast are not kind to front ends. Just one installation note do not install it on a hot sticky day or in the sun. Again it's not cheap, but I would highly recommend it.

There is a ton of info on other magnum specialized forums (do a search on Google as Edmunds policy prevents me from listing them here). There are several cold air induction options and one forum is performing a "CAI Faceoff" Friday 6/23 which will be including the following CAIs:
- Volant
- K&N Aircharger
- K&N drop-in
- Mopar
- 360 Air Raid
 
As for exhaust, there are aalso a number of options from Borla, Zoomer & Dynamaxx.
 
There is a chip from JetChip, but I've heard mixed reviews. Again, in one forum, they are working on a petition/group buy with the major vendors in programmers.
 
Also, there is a supercharger available from GS Motorsports.
