Dodge Magnum Modifications - Modifications.

I have done a number of things to my 2005 Dodge Magnum. It started out small. But it never stopped, and grew especially insane when I decided to turn the car into a dedicated track monster.

There's a lot here that needs pictures and full writeups. But time is never available it seems, and often the best I can do is keep up this simple list. As time goes by, I'll change this and port over my dozens of writeups from both my personal site and online forum entries.

Mod List as of January 12, 2010
