You know what? I believe that the Crossfire is a car that should be taken VERY seriously...

What do I mean? Well, puttng neon 'under car' lighting / odd-colour interior LEDs and all that stuff seems a little 'out of character' for such a sophisticated car...My VUE Redline has swtichable OEM LED under-seat lighting...sort of a 'gee whiz' effect...and I posted about possibly installing some LEDs in the same position on my X-Fire...

But, we have to be careful that we don't take our X-Fires into the realm of the slammed Civics and Mustang 5 litres of this world...the Crossfire is a cut above those...is it not?

So - and trying HARD not to sound elitist - just be cause we can afford a Crossfire, doesn't mean we should apply the same sort of 'street' decorations and style as other vehicles, does it?

I guess it's all about whatever one wants to do with one's car...but still...

The reason for this post? I saw a fairly new Jag XJ last night...and the guy had it 'bagged' and slammed / blue undercar neons / behind grill blue LEDs / dashmounted LCD TV...you know...totally pimped out...all it needed was the gold Kleenex box on the rear shelf...and, somehow it got me thinking about the Crossfire...and what NOT to do with it...!

But, back to earth...(thanks for listening to that rant!)

What I did on another car (that shall remain nameless!)...is paint a very thin coating of the clear glaze that is used for making faux coloured stained glass appliques on windows...the light blue colour...to the INSIDED of the lenses of interior lights and licence plate lights...that mimics the look of cool white LEDs...

Actually works...and despite my rant about not 'pimping up' the X-Fire...I might try it on my Crossie...

I'll let you know...post some pics when and if I get up the courage to try...

I checked the cost of replacement of the lenses on the interior dome lamp and licence plate lamps first...

omigod.

Cheers...
