This is just my opinion, and I HOPE that the majority if Crossfire owners would agree, WE DO NOT WANT to see aftermarket bolt-ons on our cars. It is refreshing for me to see that you can't "trick-out" the Crossfire. Leave the "tricking-out" to other cars like the Eclipses, Integras, Civics, Supras, TTs, 350zs, etc.....

No big giant chrome wheels, no loud farty sounding mufflers, no crazy stripes, strange stick-on shapes, lettering, or other assorted graphics. No neon lights, ground effect kits, or "slamming it". No "double sided sticky tape" accessories.

All of this new pop-culture sort of stuff applied to car bolt-ons makes my stomach turn.

I hope it never happens to the Crossfire.

No bad feelings intended towards aftermarket bolt-on yearners, but I think most Crossfire owners are of an older and more mature crowd, and the bolts-on you so desire will hopefully never materialize.

I feel that all of that sort of stuff can dilute the value of ownership of a car, especially if it happens to the Crossfire.

I saw a 350z recently with a big giant wing, big giant chrome wheels, and a ground effects package on it. Y-U-C-K. Cheesy and embarrassingly adolescent. Actually not a surprise since the owner looked very young.

Again, I hope it NEVER happens to the Crossfire.

Ok, I'm done!
talk about calling the kettle black...i found this picture in "pelked1" photo album...and it states, "i traded this in for the Xfire". :? (click link below)
