Daytime Running Lights
Well, I finished the install of my DRL's.
Since I wasn't sure if I would like them or not, I went the "cheap and cheerful" route, rather than the "really nice but expensive" install.
I ordered two, 24 inch long, flexible, side shining LED strips off e-bay. The strips had a self-sticking backing, but I also used some super glue. I also put an "on-off" switch in the circuit in case I wanted to drive around without the LED's lit up.

Re: Daytime Running Lights
Hello Padget;
Bought it off ebay. I'll find the link tonight and post tomorrow.
The top piece was around 75 bucks and the two bottom grills were about the same.
And the Crossbow on the grill is something I made out of aluminum a few years ago. The car is one of those kit cars. It has the general shape of the Ferrari GTO. Put it together about 12 years ago - ran the car for about 10 years and sold it.

Padgett;
The LED strips from e-bay were at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221070604276?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649
The lower billet grill was on e-bay at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-2004-2008-Chrysler-Crossfire-Lower-Bumper-Billet-Grille-Grill-Insert-/350741515064?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AChrysler%7CModel%3ACrossfire&hash=item51a9d2cb38&vxp=mtr
The lower grilles are the same price I paid. But when I looked for the upper grille it was no longer listed. I paid about $70.00 for mine - but the newest listing on e-bay shows anywhere from $400 to over $700. That is insane. It was the same vendor for the lower grilles and the upper grill. Maybe they still have some of the $80 ones for sale.
Carl Graham:
Was that not one beautiful car? Mine was on a 280Z chassis. I bought the kit out here from the owner of the company, Joe Alphabet . He had named the kits "Alpha 1".
It finally got to the point that I just couldn't drive the car anymore for fear of dings or an accident. So the car sat idle a lot, and I just couldn't justify keeping it.
Wait - I have to go get some tissue paper. Boo-hoo, boo-hoo.
