I put mine in the engine compatment. Centered on radiator support.

Thanks Gary...BTW, I think they look so much nicer...Black/Silver on a black car than on the Aero Blue.

...I settled on just below the passenger rear light, and I liked the idea of the emblem below the fender vents so much I've ordered a 3rd emblem.

I had a chance to talk to a Crossfire driver today and he shared how much he likes the German engineering that went into this car...Now I'm really itching to put her on the road...As I shovel 6 " of snow off the drive.

The Saphire Blue

is winning me over more and more each time I open the garage to look at her again..

Thanks for all your advise and good humor.

Cheers!

I tried but they wouldnt upload.... too big a file?

I purchased the missing grille from the dealer, and I learned it arrived today...I might need a special wrench?

i will order one more..." built by Mercedes Benz" emblem tomorrow

I have the dash apart > I took out the Light module swapped it with a Cdn member who doesnt like his daytime lights.
That should arrive tomorrow.

I have yet to install the lighted wind restrictor.

I'm waiting for some of that balmy weather, but getting lots of snow....

I put mine on the bulkhead centered between the two umbrella holder clips.

I put mine in the engine compatment. Centered on radiator support. I do like the below the grill though. I think it would be to much on mine with the srt6 badges already above the grill.
