December Dodge Magnum Group Gathering!

Meet the group here!CustomMagnums.com

Last weekend we were invited out to a gathering of some of the areas modified Dodge Magnum cars taking place in Havre De Grace, MD. We knew we were in for something special as soon as we saw the cars lined up and glistening in the setting sun. Backed by 22″ wheels and vertical door kits, we made our greetings and began photographing the cars.

The Dodge Magnum is viewed as one of the most aesthetically modifiable vehicles in the U.S. With this being said, the conversations proceeded to talk about a host of ingenuity and creative thinking. One such mention was of a Dodge Magnum exchanging front ends with a Chrysler 300 producing a unique style. The cars that were presented here at the gathering had a solid stature of modified American muscle. Everything about these cars screamed of raw aggression. The massive wheels tucked neatly inside the fenders, supporting the massive exterior housing the devastatingly powerful Hemi engine inside. Between the mix of SRT and RT styling, these are some of the most unique customizations in the muscle car world of aesthetic appeal.

Once the sun began to set, the engines started up with the trademark roar of Hemi power. The headlights flicked on to reveal a barage of unique lighting schemes and multiple effects. Angel eyes and LED’s in full effect, we set out to acquire some food and discuss the cars further.
During the span of dinner, it became very clear this wasnt your usual group of self loving elitest tuners, rather quite the opposite. Throughout our conversations it was blatent that this group of Dodge Magnum enthousiast valued ingenuity and new ideas over the specific genre. Without a single negative thing to say, we discussed other makes and models of cars and how they compared to the Magnums. Included in that conversation, one of the owners mentioned he owned an M3. This provided a perfect opportunity to draw the pros and cons of the Magnums integrity to that of the BMW M3. The results of this particular conversation had tailspinned into an idea that we are currently working on and that will incorporate a few cameras and a few private roads. That being said, it’s safe to say that this group of Magnum enthousiasts provide a fine example of etiquette, class, and cars. We were glad to be a part of the festivities and hope they invite us back again soon!
