I got my ride so shinny she is nearly invisible. Thanks to “Chemical Guys”.
New antenna mount from eBay comes today. Will only use the grommet as The original one on the car is all cracked up.
Some update on the cup holder. Installed the rubber mats in place. Two upper screws will be covered .. Waiting for a black silicone hose. The final step is to stick it to the center console trim.
Will show more pictures in a few month when I'll be in Florida.

Today I brought it out from winter storage and took it for a drive
35 degrees with the top down
Got some cool pics on some unmelted snow at a farm near my house
Then back to Irongate motor condos near my house where it is stored for the winter
05 coupe --would not turn over---pump did not run--all dash lites on--spoiler went up--lite on---replaced RCM with spare from my parts car---everything OK now! Sent bad RCM to DJ for refurbish. Great to have spare parts.
Yes the Sprint Booster SBCY00036 from Jegs High Performance. It WAS on sale for 20% off (now over). I can not believe the difference! It has 3 settings (normal, sport, race). In the sport and and race settings there are 9 degrees. SO......... set out in "race 9" and ......................HOLY ****!!!!!! The SRT came alive. Over priced? Not in my opinion. So drove in normal (not for long). Amazing.... for $180.00 and plug and play. Don't knock it until you try it. Way beyond my expectations.
Took the Roadster NA out and put about 30 miles on it...now at 43800mi. Exercised the top about three times. Discovered a scratch and a little dent that we probably made while replacing 3 of the little hydraulic cylinders. She ran nice.
~ The black SRT must have been modified some kind of way before I got it, because it is so much stronger than the SSB SRT(107,000mi) on acceleration. The SSB SRT will accelerate smoothly where the black SRT (180,000mi)wants to GO...NOW...even with the smallest of foot feed travel.
~ Rock chip repair is where I am focusing next....Peace

SBCY00036? You are definitely got the wrong device. Manufacture 's part number is SBCY0023S on Jegs website for Chrysler Crossfire.
$180? Thus, a product that normally costs $289 with a 20 percent discount will cost you $231.20, and you saved $57.80. Plus TAX.
Enjoy your Sprint Booster This is absolutely not necessary modification. The German engineers designed acceleration system to be safe for the drivers. To make this mod you are putting your life at risk. I like my Xfire as is and I don't want to make her a ricer car.
BTW I found on eBay similar stuff that calls Electronic throttle controller for $69 and I guess it does the same job as the overpriced Sprint Booster for $289.99 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-9H-Elec...53.m1438.l2649

All that said .... I searched out the SRT-6 model for the fact of horsepower and fun. At a push of the button she can jump from “ German designed safe” to a pretty cool beast utilizing all that German engineering prominence. I love you man ❤️
Took the coupe for a spin since the weather was clear & sunny. When I got home, I was cleaning out the all-weather mat on the driver's side & found the floor damp over by the dead pedal. Might have some debris blocking the drain line on that side of the cowl. Probably will have to remove the cowl & clean out all the water drainage cavities. Will put the car cover back on this evening as it's supposed to rain for the next couple of days - just to minimize the exposure. My To-Do List just got a new priority item on it!
I took Little Red for a long and overdue ride to blow the cobwebs out. I just wish it could have been a little warmer to put the top down...can’t wait for spring!
Nice sunny day in southern Ontario, but cool. Spring fever setting in so I took the cover off, bolted the wheels back on and took it off the stands. Took a little spin around our court and then did the "biggest bang for the stereo buck" improvement. Can hardly wait!!!!
Brought my Roadster out from storage and took a drive with my friend with his Porsche 911 Turbo
Then brought them back and took out his 1972 Challenger https://www.irongatemotorcondos.com/garages/
Added the secondary ground strap to the rear of the bell housing, direct to the battery as per the Forum recommendation. Bought a 36 inch eye to eye 4 ga strap and put a wire loom around it. I like to make everything neat and look factory if it isn't. Put the loom on it before you install it as it is a little tricky around the exhaust and heat shield. Pretty cheap insurance for our electrically sensitive toys. Only an hour and that included the coffee break.

Nice work! I followed James1549's exact recommendation & routed the ground cable up & over the heat shield, between the firewall & battery, around the battery and connected to the factory negative battery clamp using the spare threaded post. Secured with a 6 mm flare nut. And I also slipped a cable loom over the ground cable from the bell housing connection up & over the heat shield. Somewhat longer routing, which is why we used a 40 inch long cable.
Like you, I think this is one of the simplest & most effective upgrades an owner can perform on the Crossfire.
Today I received MB air cleaner engine cover. Bought it on eBay for $60 shipped. Perfect like-new condition. It will replace the stock "Manta-Ray" engine cover.
Upcoming project: Installation leather roll bars over the headrest and rear headrest roll bar trim cover panel. Taken out of 2004 SLK230 Kompressor Special Edition. Doing this project because I have nothing else to do with my Xfire
