After thinking this over I have decided selling these might not be a good idea. I'm sure no one will be disappointed. I do the same thing when I eat. I eat more then I should. My eyes are bigger then my stomach. In any case I enjoyed designing it and getting my local sign company to produce it.
Thanks a head of time for your feedback. It really helps when your designing a product (in this case a logo) to get information from people who own the scource. As a Designer, auto customizer, hot rodder and a car nut, the Crossfire is the first car I don't want to customize. It's perfect.
I did add the chrome mesh grill and inserts, Crossfire decals for the Chrysler badge and wheel badges. That's it. Man, Chrysler did good on this one.

If I could get 50 or more orders I can sell a set (2) for $20.00 or one for $10.00 plus $4.00 delivery. If anyone is interested please email me and we could do this through paypal. I have attached some photo's. The colors that work best with most all Crossfire colors are silver and a darker gray.
like to here your feedback.
I bought two of those plastic self-adhesive name plates that say "Powered by Mercedes Benz", that were made for the Sprinter and attached them below those fake vents, at the very bottom of the side panel. They are relatively small, black with silver lettering and on my slate-colored car look quite nice. Cost: about $20 for two. Just a suggestion....

photo of the Mach1 reminds me of the 70 Boss 302 and the 71 Boss. Anything Ford made after 71 during the middle 70's was crap.

Yeah, the motor sucks with 7.9:1 compression, but Ill fix that. everything else is the same as a 71 though, except for the front bumper and grille which I like the 73 better. glad you dont like it i do. Your little stickers are nicely produced, I just dont need everyone to know mine has a merc motor.

Nobody cares anyway.
I thought the title of this thread asked for my opinion anyway!? My opinion is its unnecessary, nice quality, but unnecessary.

Opinion wanted for the Crossfire. Not the BMW. The BMW happened to be in the picture.
I had a Boss Aluminum Cleveland block built for me by Holmand and Moody (California) in the 70's. I dropped it in a customized 69 Mach I with a C6 tranny. The engine was a work of art. So was the car. your Mach is alright. You gotta start somewhere. Didn't mean to be a hardass. I have been working on that M3 for the past 5 years with blood and sweat. Does consistant low 13 sec 1/4 miles. Interior is two tone tan and black leather, etc,etc.

I'm quite proud of my little Corolla, actually.

I'm just curious about the E36 with the M3 sticker. I thought the E36 M3 had quad pipes, not duals!

What is more hilarious about your low self esteem is that you had to make fun of my commuter car in response. Viagra can help!

I don't have a point, good man. I'm just not familiar with M3's. I had a question. In fact, I used two question marks to make it more obvious. Didn't take engrish 101? Seriously...

Sure you were. Move on. This thread is about the Crossfire. If your interested in BMW's, especially M3's Go to your local library before you make comments about a subject you no nothing about. Otherwise be a man and be prepared to get what you dish out. I would never make a comment about a car I knew nothing about or wanted to know about..like a Corolla. Take it on the shoulder dood. Don't get so upset. Do they still sell Viagra in Canada. Where? How about Flomax.

I didn't insult you by calling you a name. Shame, shame, shame. That was a good R&B song by the way. Goodnight.

I didnt comment on your car, I didnt even see a bmw in the picture. I was saying I saw a 5 series with an M badge on it. The guy was pretending his 545 was an m5. The whole connection between the crossfire and the slk is something that doesnt really impress me, and I think its kind of funny how some people go to great lengths to let everyone know their car is a "mercedes". (no offense to anyone here, its just not my thing.)

How can you miss the BMW in that picture. In regard to the Mercedes ID thing. I agree. I have NEVER purchased a car to impress anyone. I by a car because I, and I mean "I" liked it for one reason or another. With the Crossfire the engine is a bonus. A Mercedes engine is well made, unlike a lot of the garbage in many new cars on the road today. Mercedes is also known for it's excellent mechancal qualities (for the most part). The fact that Chrysler designed this car to use those components says much about both manufactures. To identify one with the other speaks well for both Chrysler (USA) and Mercedes (Europe). Although in terms of overseas marketing and here at home it didn't work. We are now able to purchase this sleeper at dirt cheap prices. And this is a quality automobile by anybody's standards. You are certainly intitled to your opinion without apology. I will never apologize for what I believe in. Now let's move on and let this thread die out.
