Default Re: SRT Design Package?

A while back (maybe a year or two) somebody posted a video ad (here on the forum) of some "flim/flam" car dealer who installed some SRT Design emblems on a Crossfire. (I believe he put em on a Chrysler 300 as well).
Everybody got upset over it, and made fun of it, and I think either the Moderators, or the original poster removed it. Because I can't find it anywhere.
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if the same "SPECIAL EDITION" SRT Design emblems didn't wind up on some other Crossfires around the country. Whether it was done by a dealer, or a private individual.
Embroidered SRT Design insignias are only an upholstery shop away.
I don't believe "ANY" SRT Design Crossfires were ever produced by Karmann of Germany, or were authorized by Chrysler of America.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with adding an emblem or two to your car to make it stand out, or just look different from the crowd, if that's what you want to do. After all, it's your car.
So little is known about the Crossfire, that it's pretty easy to pull the wool over somebody's eyes with these cars.
I've actually had (more than couple) Chrysler Salesmen ask me what year did they start putting scoops on the Crossfire. Last weekend, a former Chrysler technician approached me at a custard stand and asked me when did they start producing the Crossfire as an AMX.
It's all in good fun, and there's no intent to defraud anybody so what's the harm?
On the other hand, when a dealer tries to misrepresent a car and pawn it off as something special from the factory for monetary gain, then it's a whole new ball game.
