Default Re: Pretending it's Spring.

what sort of "TLC" will Legendary Motor Cars be doing to the Crossfire?
I wanted some work done on the car and their shop rates are no different then anyone else in town, so I figured why not use them. I trust they will do a good job.

To Do List;

1. Paint lower front spoiler to rid of 5yrs of stone chips, hood is fine.
2. Replace fog lamps with new OEM lamps, purchased cheap off eBay. (Fresh glass will enhance the look)
3. Add rear diffuser at tail pipe and paint the inside of the tailpipes flat black, leaving chrome trim.
4. Add a very fine, fire engine red trim at edge of the four black side gills. This is just subtle added bling that will match the calipers.
5. Detail the engine compartment and discuss blinging out the air cover. Maybe some custom artwork?
6. Wet Sand and Buff headlamps to like new condition
7. Wax, Buff and Polish body

That's pretty much it. The glass is already tinted very dark and the entire car has been re-badged including centrecaps on wheels. Rims and Rubber were all replaced with new OEM as well. So with the added work, the Crossfire should look pretty sharp when done.

I have only owned the Crossfire for less then a year and almost purchased a new Nissan 370Z. There was a waiting list for the 370Z, it cost more then twice the Crossfire and quite frankly, I have no regrets with the Crossfire purchase. With all the money I "saved" not purchasing the 370Z, I have no problem justifying the added costs to bring the Crossfire up to "like new" condition.

At least that's how I explain the logic to my wife......I actually SAVED money not purchasing the 370Z
