Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Today I replaced the Chrysler logo badges in the wheel center caps. It was easy to do and I took my time and I'm very happy with the way they look!
I got the parts from a company in the U.K. called The PT Company. The total cost with shipping was $37.23 (29.33 Pounds UK). They only took about 6 days to arrive.
I'm sorry the pics are out of order and I don't know how the text got screwed up.
I used this cleaner that I had left over from where I used to work. I don't think it's available any more. Any glue remover will do fine as long as it's safe for plastic and paint.
here's how it looks when completed. Take your time and center it correctly. I laid in one edge than placed it in using the lip of the cap as a guide.
Here it is on the wheel.

Here are some pictures of the tools and products that I used and the stages of replacing the old with the new.
This is the set of new wheel badges with alcohol prep wipes.
These are the items I used to replace the wheel center badges. I used the back of the brush to pry the center cap up enough to use the trim removal tool to pop it off. I didn't want to use a screwdriver and add anymore damage.
This was the best original wheel logo left on the car.
Old meets new.
I used a strong knife to first pry off the plastic, then pick at the metal piece under it. After picking it up enough, I used a small screwdriver to gently pry it out.
