Hi Speedy 4x4,

2004, Blue Auto, with 64,000. I am finding out that these are great vehicles. However floor mats and owners manuals must be a hot item to sale separately on the secondary market.

Chrysler logo floormats are out there but, a little pricey and I believe manual PDF'S are available here.

When I open pics on my phone they are really distorted. It looks like a "sapphire silver blue" - SSB
SSB is the best color to have on these

Absolutely! love the color, what type of wax do you use? I am using Meguiar's, not bad.

Rejex, it is a aerospace protectant, lasts 4 months.
This is the first time I have used it two months ago and the water still beads up like it was new. But the thing I love the best is how much easier bugs come off the front end. I do one light and quick swipe with the cloth part of the gas station squeegee across the front end and no more bugs.
I did one coat next time it will be 2 coats.

Is there a web site were you can give them your VIN and they will research when the car was built?

Hi Carl,
Nice to meet you, and thanks for the complement on the color. I am still learning so much about the CF, and the history behind the car. Just think it has been already ten years since the first CF rolled off the assembly line in Germany, my has time goes by so fast. What is the Dragon meet?

skeet370: man you don't know about the Tail of The Dragon meet!It is a bunch of Crossfire owners that happens in this general area (NC) every April and Oct,. The latter is coming up Oct 3,4, and 5...it's a blast...you get to meet all the nice folks, see some of the most beautiful Crossfires ( some with greats mods), and get to drive on the most curvy roads in the US. The Dragon is an 11 mile stretch of road in the mountains that has, get this... 318 curves!!!..WOW... Go to the Tale of The Dragon on this Forum and get all the details...This will be my 3rd...Later...Carl

Meguiar's is good stuff. Frankly, paint preparation is more important than which wax. If the preparation is good (wash, clay and polish) I absolutely love Pinnacle Souveran paste wax. I won't last as long as some waxes but dang, it sure looks good.
