Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Have been wanting to get the GMB caliper covers but the cost $199.00 plus tax So I bought 4 Brembo covers Red from China $33.99 will be for my Birthday Dec. 2nd. They don't fit look good but will just throw in the trash.

Hi 180.. I am in the same situation in manitoba.. Car is now parked for another winter.. It will give me some time to do some upgrades over the winter..
I, like yourself put in some premium fuel in the tank for storage.. Should I also put some stabilizer in the tank as well? I've heard conflicting stories on this site so I would like a little clarification. Also my xfire is stored in my heated shop..

I decided to order a Trex billet grille from T-Rex Grilles|4WO to change the front end look of my ride. It is a polished stainless one. I will upload pics once it is fitted.

Chrome Bolt Caps arrived today from JEGS. These come with plastic mounts for 7/16" or 10 mm hex heads. Installed these in the engine bay along both fenders and on the 2 screw heads that secure the hood latch.
Here's a link if anyone else is interested in these: SPECTRE Bolt Caps
Later,

Blacked out the area behind my grill. I purchased my upper & lower grills from Zunport through Red Dog. I like the way the grill matches the front profile of the XF.

Unless you have a black XF the car color shows through the grill.
Pictures are before & after. The picture showing the flat black paint still has the blue masking tape that I didn't remove until after the grill was installed. I used Rust-Oleum that I brush painted the vertical center support & areas around the radiator. Flat rattle can paint was used to paint the front fascia area right behind the grill.

Installed clear side marker lens to the rear and auto dimming rear view mirror.
Has anyone hooked up the reverse wire to shut the mirror off, and if so were did you run it to?
When I did the headliner recover I ran a wire from the dome light area to the rear tail light on the passenger side for future use.

Pin A9 of the Illumination Control Module ( the headlight switch assembly ) goes to pin 1 of the mirror connector.
It supplies +12v when in reverse, so I suppose you could use the +12v from the backup light to do the same thing, since you already have the wire run.
Me, I didn't bother since I seldom drive at night, and then, not in reverse.

Alex thanks for the pin a9 info - took a look at it today and from a quick glance seems like a pain to get the ICM out, but I'll check it out some more over the winter months and like you said I could just use the wire that I ran to the tail light assembly.
Today we put the Red Sled into hibernation.

I had a shop that I trust to mount the Brembo caliper covers they are well made and look great but don't fit after an hour they sickout too much so I will go with the GNB covers which I had on my previous car live and learn. So I have ordered the Red GMB caliper covers wont get them for a week.
