He recommends this one.
Stainless Steel Footrest to suit Chrysler Crossfire | eBay
Here's part of our conversation:
"There should be a listing on eBay.com (us site) for a footrest to suit the crossfire. It is essentially the same part however it features double sided tape instead of hook and loop tape. "
"It looks the same. Is it the same size? Personally I would prefer hook and loop attachment to the carpet rather than adhesive bonding to the carpet. Is there a reason to use adhesive on a Crossfire. "
" Yeah it's exactly the same apart from the tape.
Hook and loop tape doesn't work on the carpet in the crossfire (or any chrysler/jeep/fca vehicle as they all use 'Cut Pile" carpets in my experience), hence the adhesive. "
EDIT: I think the posters are talking to the same company. So what attachment works better on carpet?
Even with the double-side adhesive tape, this dead pedal really doesn't fit my 2007 XFire. First - The dead pedal has a right angle bend on the pedal-side of the footwell. As a result, it won't fit flush against the carpeting. Second - My 2007 had the large plastic dead pedal provided by Chrysler. When this is removed, there are three large holes in the carpet that need to be covered (my opinion) to make the install look good. This dead pedal isn't wide enough to cover the holes completely.
The dead pedal I bought later was wide enough & came with double-sided tape for install. And if you look close, you'll see a small portion of a carpet opening at the bottom that still didn't get covered. But with floor mats placed in the footwell, it doesn't show.
Here's the link to the item I purchased.
