Ok. Like many of you, I'm getting frustrated with the lack of aftermarket products for our cars.
Today, I contacted Grillcraft (among a couple of other grille manufacturers) to inquire about building one for the Crossfire. I explained that there isn't a whole lot out there for our cars and we would like to see more choices available.

This is the response I received:

If you could find someone with a crossfire to come by our shop in order for us to take a close look would be the first step.

So ... does anyone live/work near there? If so, would you mind dropping by or emailing them to set something up? It's a little far from MI.


Any help is appreciated.

 

I am in new jersey.

 

Thought something like this 300 grill would be a nice choice to have:

Thanks a lot RPM, but I am on Long Island.

 

I like it a lot too.

 

imo the ctd grill that hasn't come out yet looks better with the ribs. also the chrome covering offered by many looks good to me.

 

I'm near there but that's the not a great area of town.

 

I happen to like the OEM grille...I'm not a fan of the wired mesh, it's becoming sophisticated 'ricer'.

 

Here's my custom grill, I'm doing the internal headlight areas next. Just like the new corvette.

WTF Irafatar...I need to see your handiwork. Looks good. Plus I have to tell you all about the track day! I'll be around this weekend...Alpine Ale anyone?

 

brhertel and others with black Crossfires,

I posted a file called "new look for less" file sometime back. It took about 1 hour and $15 to get the new look.



The grey grill is now black, the silver bars are now chrome and the grey license plate bracket is now black (mounted when I bought it). You might also notice the Crossfire logo replacing the Chrysler badge thanks to Andrew.

Looks even better in person. What I like most is that I get a lot of comments on how it looks like it came that way from the factory. The black grill sort of fades out and the chrome strips look like they are "floating" in the grill cavity.

 

The 300 mesh style grill would look handsome.

 

The black out treatment helps to avoid the minivan grill look.

SRT SIX: I really like that look and have read about it in the past...I keep saying that I am going to do it, I just never seem to have time/motivation.

Maybe you just gave me to push I needed!

 

I'm willing to pay them a visit next week sometime. I'll call Jerry to set up an appointment and keep you guys posted. We NEED options, damn it!

 

You are the inspiration behind my grill job, however I buffed and smoothed the texture off and painted it with the color matched paint. Now its time to wax again, them I am taking apart the light to paint the insides.

 

Oh brave soul. I have wanted to try the headlight mod but have been afraid of not being able to seal them properly when finished. I know they will look much better than the standard grey finish...

You did a great job on the grill painted white. I left the texture on mine because I really like the pebble grain finish (yeah, right LOL) Kudos to you for taking the extra time.

 

Anybody ever get out to the shop?

I'm guessing not . . .

 

gr8len, any luck?

Also, regarding the infamous mesh grill from the 2004 SEMA show, seen here:

I've been in contact with the company that made it (Ground Force, a suspension company). As we knew, it was a one off creation.
They have no interest in creating more or selling the one they had/have.
