I have been reading many posts around and I have noticed a lot of people constantly stating that one problem of this car is the lack of aftermarket offered for it... in terms of performance and aesthetic modifications... I find this to be true as there is a lack of many aftermarket parts that other cars enjoy, for many obvious reasons, but one reason that many people simply overlook is the reason that we simply do not support an aftermarket and if a company was even to offer a product there would be tooo few to purchase to even somehow allow it to be of any profit... In some ways this saddens me as any other forums I read as soon as a distributor arrives in their forum or they hear of new products there is constantly those that are interested in the purchase...

At first I though this tied in to the lack of crossfires, but lately I have found this to be not so true... as stated in the past I have spent time reading other forums one forum I take example from is mbworld's c32 forum... and the production number of the c32s that function in the united states is barely greater than that of our srt-6s, yet these people owning a car that is nowhere near as attractive in refinement... purchase MANY MANY more modifications... (like the Pulley and ecu kit... as I don't believe there are over 10 crossfires with this kit... there may very well be over a 100 c32s with this kit)... for their vehicles than us crossfire owners...

Another example of our poor aftermarket is a site called AutoXclusive as they have been promising a site for aftermarket parts for our cars for over a year, but I think they have come to realize that no such site is needed as there are sooo few owners that will purchase these products... instead they make profit selling aftermarket components for f-ing kia... who the hell mods a kia anyways? That's damn depressing...

Yet another example is CTD-Germany with their grill, I also think they have come to realize that the thread of the grill has created 1298372189 views, one of the longest threads on the forum, yet even if they were to release this grill... so how many would buy 10 tops right off and maybe 50 in the long run if even? so what the hell is the point as that barely covers the cost... its just easier to manufacture parts for cars like nissan z or hell even kia...

Remember the time when SI came on to this forum... damn we attacked their products as if they were here to rob us of our money and so many posted on their threads, they went through the trouble of proving us morons wrong, and proving their products to be very effective and the result? maybe 3 owners bought their products? No wonder no sane business company wants to deal with us... we suck...

Renntech used to have crossfire listed on their site... they still have the packages for the crossfire available... but they decided its not even worth the tiny bandwidth to show it on the site... as either way crossfire owners for whatever reason don't want or like aftermarket...

Time comes around when a forum member discovers a great method to modify our interiors, engine covers, and modifications with carbon fiber at a relatively low price... we all say Ooohh and aaah and than 3 people actually go through with purchasing it...

Now in conclusion I blame a lot of different sources including the price drop on our cars, I think that many people who purchased this car actually on gut level think they purchased either a chrysler, or a regular car... You have a f-ing exotic... and if you treat it like one... others will also accept the car as an exotic...

But all in all we are good at buying stickers!! Yay for XFI decals, but show no support for the club... Look I got a decal... now and I am on some random list with 150+ other people which 50% of don't even own a crossfire anymore... 65% don't ever show up on the forums... and probably 1% are not even alive anymore...

A car is a car, but someone has to sponsor it... and if its not you or me... than who?


I am aware that this thread can be offensive to some.. but well its my opinion and I am not just talking about you I am also talking about me... as I myself am one of the persons that does the above... its pathetic...

PS. Excuse my poor english...
