Just got new yoko envigor front tires.
Previous fronts had lots of tread even across except the inner corner was worn to belts showing on both tires. Ahhhhhhh.
Alignment was checked and is good.
The Yoko's where the best tires I could find around Terra haute in

 

Washed Her, drove Her, put Her back and watched the odometer roll to 11,000. Everything still ORIGINAL. Life Is Good

 

Regarding the rear diffusers a couple pages back... I found these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrysler-Crossfire-2004-09-Rear-Fascia-Accent-Panels-2pc-HCA-82209208-/390839471423?hash=item5affd90d3f&vxp=mtr

 

Yes, quite a few members have tried these, don't trust the "perfect fit".

 

Unfortunately - you will have to do some sand and fit work on these if you want them close to "perfect fit" .. my experience on two sets. The lip that lays in the top edge along the bumper line on drivers side gets too thick at the trailing edge and needs sanded-filed down to set in properly.

So basically be prepared to do a little work on them... or do without. LOL

 

Just keep looking as I found these a couple of weeks ago on Ebay still attached to the bumper .

 

One must be for the left side, the other for the right side....

I'm beginning to think the best way to go now for most of us who don't have access to the "real" difussers is to do what others are doing......buy some "fins" and set them up based on our own preference. At least you know they will end up being the same size and symetry and the install placement and fit will be entirely up to the preference and skill of the installer.

 

Yeah.. probably be available again on the next blue moon. I regularly check ebay.. almost daily.. and it's been a long time since any went through.

The only thing here.. they don't have the contour of the bumper (front to back) . I made a steel template curved like the bumper and used JB Weld as a filler to get the radius. Otherwise the tail ends will be "in the air" and not touching the cover. The other option would be to grind out to radius. I epoxied mine together and drilled two holes (3 fins) and located to bumper where I marked the holes. Drilled matching holes into bumper cover - and used those plastic panel push in fasteners available at Autozone on the revolving racks..

 

These are the real diffusers and yes they are marked left and right. I've been looking for 2 years for a set on Ebay USA and International then up it popped from a salvage yard selling the whole bumper with these attached. I'm taking them tomorrow to be carbon fiber hydro painted.

 

Will be interesting to see how that pattern lays out..

 

I'll post pictures once done and on the car. Now I have an aero blue bumper to clean up and sell.

 

Where did you guys purchase your chrome windshield surrounds? Mine is peeling badly. I've only found them at crossfiremall.com so far.

 

I think that is the only place you'll find them. That's where I bought mine but haven't installed yet.
I did install the door handles and they have an unfinished edge that you can feel when you open the door. The door lock piece for drivers side did not attach very well either as the tape is on the top and bottom rather than the center on the passenger side without the lock hole. But hey they match my strakes!

 

Just put in new siren alarm got off ebay for 119.19 & free shipping from Mercedes works great & beeps too! Wasn't to bad of an install put did take some time ! But all is good & put another coat of wax on her too !!!

 

Changed cabin filter!
Put air intakes on to see what they will do just for grins, they look good!

Rain so she is sleeping

 

Nothing yet, it's been raining all morning.

 

Traded it yesterday for a used 2014 Lincoln MKX SUV. Got $6125 for my roadster. Gave me $25 credit for the spoiler (huh????? ), got dinged for oil leak, door seal leak, accidents. 6 years, 3 months of happy, maniacal driving - i don't know what got into me!! Hubby says I'm still driving like I was in the XF, but I drove that like I was on my motorcycle. Thanks to all on the firum.

 

touched up a lot of paint chips on the lower front.

 

Greg: are you getting my PMs?? haven't heard from you recently ..If not, let me know on here...Thanks

 

I added the 273-0060 buzzer to mine for the alarm... Very happy with it...
