I’ve seen both colors mixed side by side and the main difference is the mixing color. They use the same gray base but the Graphite uses a certain red color and the Machine Gray uses a certain blue color to get their uniqueness. My SRT6 started life as Graphite Gray but I had it repainted to the Machine Gray.

Diffusers mounted Used some hood insulation clips to help the 3M tape keep them up. My exhaust is crooked
Installed some diffusers from Anna Malik in Poland. $95+shipping. Did a quick headlight restore on an owners ‘04 coupe.

Viewing this picture again last night caused me to spend and order these: (I received the in app 10% off and thought its only a matter of time before I pull the trigger anyhow)
Butterfly effect / trendsetter on caliper covers
Hoping these will look good behind my grey wheels and I now plan on installing yellow seatbelts to match.

Yesterday took the time to treat the leather seats in my coupe. I do this every 6 months, usually in the spring before it gets really hot, and in the fall before colder temps arrive. I been using Lexol Leather Cleaner & Conditioner all these years. And my seats still look "factory fresh".

With an opportunity to get back to some normalcy after Helene, Roberta & I took the 2007 Coupe to a local car show held at one of the churches in our area. Not a very big show, but quite a few classic cars & current performance cars. So we feel right at home with these vehicles. Ended taking tied for 2nd Place in Mopar class.

A couple of questions
1) Any best practices on using Lexol on the seats? I know some people use a cut off paint brush, some uses a sponge etc etc.
2) Do you touch up the console? If so what to do, to do it well? I have some minor scuff and the infamous "rubber paint" peeling in two areas. Would love to not paint the whole console new but rather do a touch up (I have the correct paint).
3) I see your charts with MPG - Do you have an app that is reliable and you trust, or do you manually calculate and visualize in Excel?
, typically from Amazon. Comes with 2 sponges - 1 each for Cleaner & Conditioner. Just follow the directions on each bottle. Takes me about 40-45 minutes to do the leather on the seats & the steering wheel. I use Leather Conditioner disposable wipes that you can buy from any discount parts house & use these on the doors, dash, console, wherever Chrysler used that imitation-looking material. (Note I just recently purchased the Turtle Wax Interior Detailing Spray (see attached)
suitable for all surfaces, and was really impressed in its use on the interior of my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks. Best interior detailing spray I've ever used! I highly recommend the product. Crossfire is next to use this product.
2) I've never had to do any touching up on my console. I pay particular attention whenever driving in the Crossfire. No eating inside & we drink only bottled water. There are no cup holders in my car other than the one Chrysler installed in the console. And I have the exact Chrysler Coffee Mug shown in the Owner's Manual, which fits in that cup holder & stays w/o toppling over! I just don't use it!
3) I put together an Excel file where I capture all the specific data I need to put together those charts. I have "Wyring" Bound steno pads where I capture all the gas purchases, miles driven, operating costs (i.e., gas, polish, fuel treatment, oil, oil filters, tires, service work, etc.). If I'm buying a product that I use on multiple cars in my driveway (take Lexol Leather Cleaner & Conditioner), I divide that cost up across the cars that consume that product and/or service. Major expenses are listed in Excel Data File.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Averaged 26.8 MPG during the Fall Rally in Helen, GA this weekend. Typical MPG during other driving events when I've been a participant. Crossfire still performs like it always has.
