Default Re: Potential Future Aftermarket Products for Crossfires

You seem to only want things that would make the car non-drivable for most daily tasks... something best left for one-off situations, not necessarily as a design study for an already strangled aftermarket.

Clean, classy, universally PRACTICAL... those will be traits of a bumper that not only gets produced, but also sells.

And you seem to be obsessed with JGTC... seems to me like you've bought the wrong car. The Crossfire is a touring coupe with a smooth drivetrain and unique, classy styling... not a Japanese sports car.

If you're going to take the uphill path of turning a touring coupe into a proper sports car, at least reference DTM,which would be closer to the Mercedes heritage... not JGTC.

All JGTC cars are race cars, but not all race cars are JGTC.

Nitpicky, yes.... but I had to say it.
I dont do practical, I do ***** out that just happens to have a tag and insurance. and nothing I've lifted makes the car undriveable... my swaybar is 2.75" OFF THE GROUND. yet I drive the car every day, over speed bumps too. I dont have an exhaust, but I like pissing people off, so I drive it.

The only way to have hardcore performance parts built for a car that has none is to have a nutcase like me

and I reference JGTC because most of the cars are production, and not purpose built chassis like DTM, which is getting rather bleh these days.
