What exterior styling mods actually look clean on a Chrysler 300 without making it look cheap?
Ive been tuning my own cars for a decade but this 2019 S is a new challenge for me. I have $800 set aside before the Columbus meet. Thinking a new mesh grille or maybe a lip kit but I dont want it to look tacky...
> 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.
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.
