Default Grilles, Headlights and HP Mods for SXT

does anyone know how much the RT grill is or is anyone selling one? i'm looking for that look so if anyone can refer me to a nice billet grille that they use or have seen. also, besides an intake, are there any other horsepower modifications that anyone has done to there SXT's? what intakes are you using? last question, dont like the headlights, are there HID bulbs that are direct replacements or are there any headlights that you guys recommend, something clearer and brighter?

I'm running the Airraid intake on my SXT. I don't know how much I like it yet because my car went in the shop 24 hours after installation with a faulty rocker on the cam and a bad valve spring. I paid around $160 with shipping. It looks good and the one day I drove my Mag I could feel a difference in wide open throttle. I've also changed out the exhaust and installed a drop over 20" wheels. I haven't been able to find many other engine mods as of yet, but if you run up on anything I've missed, let us know.

The is a JET piggyback module. The majority that I have seen, say that it is a waste of money. One said no noticible power but got 1-2 MPG improvment.

Here are a couple of sites for grilles (including an aftermarket install):

Supposedly the CAI do nothing:

Like LTL dad said, the CAI's really don't do a whole lot for the Magnums. I enjoy the sound at wide open throttle. I haven't ran mine long enough to say if its worth the money yet. I purchased mine from www.performancecenter.com.

What about a K&N air filtration system? Get some Halogen Blue lights too. That always boosts the car's looks Imo.
