Hi All,

I just joined the forums a couple days ago after my wife and I purchased our Crossfire. I'm a Mopar enthusiast and extremely active over on LXforums, CustomMagnums, ChallengerTalk, etc. I actually do creative marketing and V6 performance parts for a carbon fiber company over there called AEcarbon. I dont really think there are any plans to develope anything for the Crossfire but if there is enough interest in parts perhaps we'll join as vendors here too.

Anyways, the Crossfire is now my wife's daily driver. Its an 04 with 51,000 miles on it, gloss black clearcoat (color code name?), 2 tone grey/black leather, etc. Already debadged it (crossfire lettering), in the future we'll probably powder coat the wheel pockets, maybe wrap the center console, door handles, and windshield pillars with texallium.

Without further ado, here are some HDR shots I took of it last night.











I look forward to spending more time here!

 

Congratulations on a beautiful ride, and welcome aboard.

 

Nice pics!! Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forums!

 

Thanks guys, I really gotta cut and buff the headlights or something because right now they are an eye sore to an otherwise flawless car. I waxed the whole thing with Surf City Garage Barrier Reef Carnuba Wax...that stuff rocks! Next up is posi-quiet ceramic pads. The car is whining at me.

 

There are a few threads here that can walk you through a polishing of the headlight lenses. Good luck.

 

Congrats! NICE PICS! A man with a plan, looking forward to the new mods. Welcome brother!

 

Welcome! Cool photos.

 

Those pics just made my nips hard....gotta get into taking pics that nice looking.!

 

Thanks fellas! Ive had a bit of practice with photos -been shooting commercially for a 5 years- so if any of you ever want help or talk shop just shoot me a PM.

As for the headlight lenses Ive tried half the products on the market on previous cars with not a lot of success. I usually wet sand with 800 and work my way up to 2000 grit then buff with a cutting compound followed up by a glaze. Before I waste my time I might call a dealer to see if the TSB has been applied to this car yet and maybe get some free headlights if Im lucky.

 

If it's a condensation problem, it's covered. I've attached the TSB. You can find all the TSB's here: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ollection.html

 

Yeah...looks like its already been performed. Definitely isnt moisture, Im not sure if someone else tried to wet sand them and did a half assed job buffing them out or what but there is basically a foggy line right across the middle of the headlight thats worse then all the other areas. I guess its just time to pull the headlight and spend a day fixing them....yay.

 

I got the headlights looking all purdy again . Wetsanded with 800, then 1000, 1500, 2000, then buffed with cutting compound 3 times, and another 2 times with Glaze and 2 coats of Carnuba wax by hand. Looks all shiney and new

 

Welcome friend! Glad you found us. LOTS of great folks here. Visit often and stay in touch.

 

Nice ride. Welcome to "permagrin". Great job on the paint, looks new.

 

The 2004 catalog lists the color imaginatively as `Black', code #40.
Interior code, I think you mean dark and medium slate Grey, code #XDV/BD5. Same year and colors as mine.
Nice pics.
