Truly an awesome & unique looking Crossfire. My compliments to the chef!

I thought the 1st set of rims were amazing looking on your car back when it was dipped. But this 2nd set really makes the car stand out with the MB Black paint job!

Later,

Thanks everyone.


Here are a few pictures from a car show yesterday in VA Beach. In these newest pictures I also have my slightly larger rear spacer on along with my grill back on which has been painted gloss black. I should also note that my car has a tiny bit of reverse rake in these pictures due to my rear hatch area being loaded down with luggage, coolers, etc.

Appreciate it. It still needs a little bit more wetsanding/buffing in a few areas but all in all I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of everything.

Where in Va. Beach was the show? I was stationed there in the service and then lived there for awhile. I always loved it there.

It's held at the convention center. It's a pretty big show - it's organized by a car club/group called Sumospeed. I believe this was their 7th year hosting it.


Here's a few more updated pictures while I'm at it.

Over 1,000. It's a really big event. There's a few hundred cars inside of the convention center and then hundreds of cars outside.

That sounds like a really good excuse to make a trip to the beach. i haven't been there for about 20 years and would love it, 1000 cars is a "big" show. by the way, how did you do, any hardware? i am curious, where did you exterior hardware come from? While it looks great on your car, i don't think it would suit my style. Would you be able to make the Carlisle show, there will be over 2000 vehicles at the Chrysler nationals.

There are a few vendor choice awards given away, but it's not really a show in which awards are presented. It's really just an opportunity for a ton of cars to converge and hang out. The front lip and side skirts are custom. They're actually part of a body kit for a different make/model car, but I had them modified to fit the Crossfire. And I'm considering it but it would mean having to take off work, getting a hotel, etc. I'm moving into my new place on July 2nd so money will already be kinda tight around that time.

Ka-chow!


Here are few pictures from a show I attended over the weekend. I love how I look like a total creeper in the background of both pictures. I'm wearing the black shirt with the cat on it and the aviators. I didn't stick around long enough to see if I would win an award. I was probably a contender for Best Domestic or better yet, Most Unique. Owell, it was hot, I was tired and hungry and I wanted to go cookout with my friends which seems better than a plastic trophy anyways.

I also received my new faux-alcantara suede door pull covers from Redline Goods today. In case anyone is wondering why I went with the faux-suede over the real suede, the faux-suede is a lighter shade of black that's a much closer match to the suede on my seats. Not to mention they were considerably cheaper than the real suede ones and they'll likely hold up better in the long run. I ordered them with silver stitching so they match my seats perfectly. They practically look OEM which is awesome.

Installed my new ZunSport lower grilles today. I've never done business with this company before, but I was very impressed. I ordered these grilles Monday evening and they arrived this afternoon - less than two days to get here, and they came all the way from England! They came with detailed picture instructions too, so installation was easy-peasy.


P.S. - Don't mind all the bugs/grime on my front bumper, I haven't washed it in a few weeks....lol.

I have the zun sport large grill, it looks great and i highly recommend it if your thinking about it. I bought a silver srt badge to replace the zun sport badge that came with it. My cars black too and a friend said it makes the car look slightly evil.. which is nice. Im after new wheels now, may get bronze Rotas, deep dish. Congrats on a great ride! great to see SRTs being pampered

I'm not really a fan of the upper grille. I prefer the look of the painted OEM grille better, but I appreciate your input. And it's not nearly as pampered as some of the cars on here aka I actually drive it regularly.......lol. I bought it with 42k on it back in spring '14 and it's up to 60,xxx now.
