Made my 1st car show appearance! I liked a lot, see the new additions to my xfire. I know not every one will have the same taste as me but here it goes...

OCTOBER CAR SHOW

NEW ADDITIONS:

carbon fiber interior, Pioneer NAV unit (touch screen&bluetooth),
wireless remote for under the car show lights and diamond plate mats.

Stereo capacitor and carbon fiber back seat ledge

By the way there is a lot more in my site if you can be open minded!

Looks good but...

Those chrome door edge guards gotta go, man.

 

~ agreed... it makes it look too busy. i have clear film on the edge of my door for protection. see: invinca-shield.com at $7.26 a set.



kinda scary leaving your helmet unattended in front of the car.

 

You're right, not everyone will have the same taste but the chrome door edges really looks cheap and the powered by mercedes-benz emblem under the vent strakes just doesn't belong. I also think that showing any car with a BRA on it is a crime and there should be severe punishment for it.
Otherwise I like what you've done and congratulate you for showing your car.
I like the wheels, painted calipers, lowered suspension, carbon fiber interior trim and the placement of the NAV unit though. You've put a lot into it obviously enjoy your Crossfire. Thanks for the photos and keep us up to date!

 

WOW that's some capacitor...Nice job...

 

I like the direction of the alts, but as noted, the door trim disrupts the natural line of the car which is horizontal. If anything, hiding the door lines would be better. Also, diamond plate, in my opinion, has it's proper place and use, the interior of a crossfire is not one of them.

You should think about a McLaren themed helmet too!

All that aside, nice work buddy!

 

What is that Red button on your console (next to the shifter)???

 

I got it. I just checked your link... NOS...

 

It is the button to fire off the NOS, there is also a T-switch to turn the system to a stand by mode.

 

Nice job. Every XF gives the owner the opportunity to express themselves. That's what makes the XF such a great car. It's a unique vehicle that allows you to have fun with accessories. What next? LOL.

 

looks great! don't be discouraged by the "traditionalist" criticism, keep pushin the envelope! you should do the chrome side vents, that would really set off the door trim!

 

And your car, with its spectacular rims, would look great with Blade's smoked tail lights:

 

Hi, I like that! Are they legal? Are they the ones on ebay?

 

i just got a set off ebay and they look good. you just need to take your time applying them. i'll upload some pics soon.

 

Just did the group buy on the chrome parts, so I will post pictures when they are here. Thanks.

 

Great looking ride... It's car show worthy !!!

 

Nice job, where did you get the Carbon Fiber inserts for the interior?

Thanks,
Allen

 

Car looks great, enjoy it.

Haha, my thoughts exactly.
