EMBLEM ENVY
If you spend much time on the forum, it doesn't take long to notice that SRT owners have several fender badges available to choose from, such as, Mercedes Benz V6 Kompressor emblems, that are very appropriate, as are AMG insignias.
Forum member SRT SIX created some great looking SRT6 emblems of his own, and markets them here on the forum, and last but certainly not least are the seldom seen larger "SRT6" logo's (from the factory) that appeared on the fenders of the very last few SRT's ever produced.
Of course this is nothing more than "Eye Candy", but it does make one car stand out over another one, since all SRT's are virtually identical.
The same can be said for all Limited and Base Crossfires also. But unfortunately none of the items I've mentioned belong on a Base or Limited Crossfire, that is unless you want to be considered a "poseur".
Other than a "Powered by Mercedes" or SRT SIX's new 3.2 V6 emblem, there's really not much else that works. So what's a person to do if ya just want a little more visual excitement on your front fenders?
This conundrum got me to thinking, what with the general public basically knowing nothing about the Crossfire in general, we can put anything we want to on our cars and who's going to know the difference?
I wanted to come up with something that would be Chrysler related, and would apply to both Limited and Base cars, Coupes and Roadsters, manual and automatics. So with that in mind, I went with a registered trademark of the Chrysler Corporation, (last used on a very limited # of Dodge Trucks) and ordered a set of "SST" emblems for my car.
Now since the letters "SRT" stand for Street & Racing Technology, I figured "SST" could represent "Six Speed Transmission" or "Slap Stick Transmission" depending on which one you own. It could have a dual meaning just like the vintage Olds "442" logo had, depending upon what transmission was chosen.
And if people should happen to get it confused with the letters "SRT" as I fly by them on the highway, that's just something I'm going to have to live with.
