I like MAXXMs reply about the possibility of the emblems looking poseur-ish, which I essentially echo his sentiments...

We're not trying to pass off something as what it is not but, rather, as what it really is. The true "heritage" of the SRT6 is AMG, not Chrysler, which contributed virtually nothing to the important mechanical parts of the model. If anything is false about the branding, it's the Chrysler logo. And if the ignorant snob patrol doesn't like it, then they can just shove it.
I will think about it a little more... I like the idea of the AMG badge being on there, but at the same time I see it could appear semi-tacky.
However I'm going to take it even a step FURTHER and say that I wouldn't even remove the CROSSFIRE badging. The SRT-6 probably, but taking away the Xf badge takes away the car's identity which is not what I want to do. There is certainly truth to the fact that this is simply an AMG powered Chrysler. Much like Shelby has done brands other than Ford in HIS past.
It's certainly inexpensive to do either way.
