I don't intend to offend anyone who has debadge their XFire, but I like the looks of the Crossfire name on the back of my car. After all, it's a Crossfire and it is what it is. Why would I want to remove the name?

I viewed the pictures above and the KARMANN badge looks good, and the "Powered by Mercedes Benz" looks good. I do approve of the addition of those to your XFires. I guess I'm just not into removing the Crossfire name from my car, and of course, that's a personal preference.

I just think it looks better....I have had people stand at the back of my car.....looking at the name and then ask what kind of car it is....now they have a reason to ask.

I like the "Karmann" plate alot. However, I don't think that it will cut down on people asking "What's a Crossfire?" Karmann hasn't built any vehicles for Honda or Toyota and until/unless they do Karmann won't mean much to the average person unless they are familiar with the Karmann Ghia. JMWO

They all look good. I'm glad to see our Crossfires getting personalized; you're making an already very original car, more original. As long as it looks classy, I like it.
There is nothing cooler than cruisin' on the highway and seing a nicely modded Crossfire. Then your left wondering, which forum member is that?

I agree they all look good. As soon as it warms up here I'm going to put the Powered by Mercedes on the angled section below the fins.( check out jaded1958cars & setford galleries for pics) I'm also going to replace the wheel centers with Dan's Crossfire laser cut emblems. I got black to match my car. Somebody posted pics with a black car with the black inserts. I liked it.

As far as the Crossfire across the trunk, I like it with and without. I'll leave mine on as I like the Deco font. I can't make up my mind on the Chrysler wing inserts. I have Dan's and they look good. We'll see. I'll post pics as soon as I do them.
