Not this car, but similar. Oppo probably already knows, but the Magnum was just a rebadged 300 Wagon from Europe. When it came to America, they gave it a Charger-like front end, probably to boost sales or something. But I know of two ways to get a 300 front on the Magnum.
The obvious one is to just import the 300 front end from Europe. The second way, is to ask for the 300 front end at the factory. My dad-in-law works for Chrysler, and he told me a few of the 300 faced Magnums were bought by local employees. Still, I was surprised to see one, as I consider them rare. It was still really cool to see.

I’ve seen this once or twice, but I have to say I prefer the Charger front end.
While I liked the 300 front end when it originally came out, it seems really dated to me now

The first gen 300, I think, looks fantastic. It has a lot of presence. The new gen, ehh...it's ok...

Hahaha, I always assume oppo knows more than me about cars, or they at least know where to get the answer, :p.

I really dig the Charger fascia on Magnums.

As my mother in law would say, “it looks mean”. And I'll agree with her, and I like it that way.

You could never order them from the factory, unless you had special dispensation I imagine.
You wouldn’t need to import a 300 front from Europe, any 300 front from this era would fit as the Magnum and 300-series cars were all built on the same platform and used the same engines....should basically just be a “swap-and-go” in that sense...?

I want the 2014+ charger front end. Stormtrooper or the previous gen. They look awesome.
If I have to do my front bumper, thats what ill do. Have to get fenders from both and have a body shop basically graft them together. Not cheap, but looks awesome.

I’ve never seen the new charger front on one. Sounds like a PITA to do.

The newer ones look better than the 05-06 ones...I just cant really stand looking at the grill....even a stock magnum....theres a reason I swapped in a honeycomb grill.

This give me an idea for an awesome car. Magnum with the new Charger front end (preferable the Scat Pack stying) with the rear of the Durango. Damn, a new Magnum would be one sexy beast.
