Which exterior styling accessories look best on a Chrysler 300?

> Thinking a new mesh grille or maybe a lip kit but I dont want it to look tacky... Stick with the basics for that clean look. A E&G Classics Fine Mesh Grille Bright Chrome is basically the gold standard for Chrysler 300s. Its durable and doesnt look like cheap plastic. If you want a lip, the Vicrez Front Lip Splitter Polyurethane is solid because it actually holds up to daily driving. Both should cost you around 600 total.

Honestly, with 800 bucks you should just do a chrome delete and high quality tint. Most people ignore the factory lug nuts but they swell up and can leave you stuck on the side of the road which is a huge safety risk. Grab McGard 84563 Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Installation Kit for reliability. Then use 3M 2080 Gloss Black Vinyl Wrap for the window trim. Its cheap and looks way cleaner than tacky plastic mods.

Tbh I wasted a lot of cash on those universal lip kits early on and it was a total disaster. They never line up right on the 2019 bumper corners and the hardware they give you is pure garbage. I actually had the plastic warp after just one month in the sun... totally ruined the clean vibe I wanted for the S. If you really want that sleek look without it looking like a teenager's first project, you gotta fix the wheel gap first. I tried the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs 28102.140 and while the stance is perfect now, I was kinda disappointed with how much stiffer the ride got over potholes. Its a trade-off, but it makes the car look ten times more expensive than any grille ever will. Another thing to watch out for is those cheap trunk spoilers. I bought a knockoff and the paint didnt match at all. Stick to something like the Mopar Gloss Black Rear Spoiler 82214309 if you can find one. It fits the body lines way better than the generic stuff you find on eBay. Basically, just stay away from the stick-on chrome bits and anything that uses double-sided tape as the only mounting point. It wont last and youll just be out a couple hundred bucks when it flies off on the highway.

To add to the point above: I've been through the ringer with three different 300 builds since 2010. One thing I learned the hard way with my first Gen 2 was that adding huge pieces to the front or rear can look really off if you dont address the lighting and the stance first. On a 2019 S, the factory trim is already pretty aggressive, so it is mostly about refinement. When I was prepping my car for a local show a few years back, I swapped out the amber factory markers for Oracle Lighting Smoked LED Side Marker Lights. It was a total game changer for the side profile. The stock ones look like an afterthought and break the clean lines of the fender. At night, the high-output LEDs look way more high-end and modern compared to those old bulbs. The other thing to consider is the wheel gap. Even on the S trim, the wheels sit way too far inside the wheel wells from the factory. I put a set of Bonoss Forged Active Cooling Wheel Spacers 20mm on my daily and it completely changed the silhouette without costing a fortune. It makes the car look wider and more planted without needing a full widebody kit. Just make sure you get hub-centric ones so you dont get any vibration at highway speeds. For a $800 budget, you could do the spacers, the side markers, and still have enough left for a professional chrome delete on the window trim which really ties the whole blacked-out S look together. Its those small details that separate a clean build from something that looks tacky.
