What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
You just have to look around the internet. Here's one on eBay with Quirk Parts: CLICK
The rear emblem however is a size that I have yet to find so you would have to replace the wing together with it and that is much more costly.
The oval emblem in your link is faded, too unfortunately.
Best stickers.net is an awesome site but I wanted to keep the emblems OEM. I do like the SRT badges though they look real cool plus many others but it's just not stock.

Yeh but it's with the badly faded emblem. My point was to replace the oval Chrysler emblem with new ones. On the front it's easy...drill out the old one, clean the area, purchase a replacement and use some silicone adhesive to attach it..

I put the XF up on jack stands, took the wheels off to swap with my brand new chrome SRT6 wheels. Changed brake pads to ceramics, cleaned the wheel wells and suspension. Going to vacuum bleed and replace brake fluid tomorrow before putting wheels back on. This new to me 2005 Limited NA only has 17,750 miles on it. New Ezon top, SKREEM done, sticky key fixed, trans fitting fixed w/new fluid. Getting it into shape.

Don't know if this website still has the new rear emblem/wing available. Price seems reasonable for new part. Might be worth checking out. CLICK
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
When it comes to cosmetic trim parts there's no telling when the limited supply will turn to 'unobtainium'. I came close to ordering a 2nd vanilla steering wheel in 2019 when I replaced mine as I knew from experience that Chrysler would soon call it quits on all the decorative bits. It only cost me a tad over $200 for one at that time... now they want $1500 !!!!!!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I believe it is. After I took the taillight assembly out (which is easy), I reached down thru the opening to see if the bottom of the inner wheel well was wet. I didn't find any moisture, which was a big relief. The old gasket was so badly worn & dried out, it probably wasn't providing any protection at all. Don't know how long the gasket was degraded. I hardly ever drive the car in the rain & I keep it covered with a weather-protection car cover in the driveway. So the PS taillight probably hadn't seen any large amounts of moisture for awhile. Lucky me!
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Today I replaced the Chrysler logo badges in the wheel center caps. It was easy to do and I took my time and I'm very happy with the way they look!
I got the parts from a company in the U.K. called The PT Company. The total cost with shipping was $37.23 (29.33 Pounds UK). They only took about 6 days to arrive.
I'm sorry the pics are out of order and I don't know how the text got screwed up.
I used this cleaner that I had left over from where I used to work. I don't think it's available any more. Any glue remover will do fine as long as it's safe for plastic and paint.
here's how it looks when completed. Take your time and center it correctly. I laid in one edge than placed it in using the lip of the cap as a guide.
Here it is on the wheel.

Here are some pictures of the tools and products that I used and the stages of replacing the old with the new.
This is the set of new wheel badges with alcohol prep wipes.
These are the items I used to replace the wheel center badges. I used the back of the brush to pry the center cap up enough to use the trim removal tool to pop it off. I didn't want to use a screwdriver and add anymore damage.
This was the best original wheel logo left on the car.
Old meets new.
I used a strong knife to first pry off the plastic, then pick at the metal piece under it. After picking it up enough, I used a small screwdriver to gently pry it out.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
The product was very easy to apply and made well. I was surprised how fast they arrived! They also have the gold wheel badges as well.
They also have a lot of other items.

Don't forget to lube the hood release cable, protect the area inside and spray some wd-40 in both ends if you have a roadster do that for the tonneau flap cover cables also followed by cable lube
