What is wrong with the prices on Ebay? If someone wants to the price, I say let them.

They only cost 5 or 6 bucks from the dealer. Freightliner sprinters come with a smaller version, Trying to track them down now. I'll let you know when I find them.

Please post the model number when you get it. I think the one that we are all familiar with is a little too big.

Re: powered by

I honestly think the powered by Mercedes badges are just a little tacky. It may be powered by Mercedes but its still a Chrysler. Be proud of that. Hell we got the better looking car anyway. Just because most of us can't find a dealer who know how to work on these cars, doesn't mean Chrysler sucks. It's just like putting powered by Honda on your Acura. The only people who care are the ones who already know. Just my honest opinion, now you guys can beat me to a bloody pulp.

Its simply a small nameplate that gives clarification - nothing more nothing less - One could say the badge shows the unique heritage.

I think as with any automotive forum, the people who seek them out are real car people. I've seen plenty of Crossfires driving around that I wouldn't be caught dead in, unless their owners cleaned them up and took more pride in their car. Car people they were not.

As for stickers or license plate frames with the site URL, I wouldn't want one on my car just because a www.whatever, IMHO looks tacky on any car. If your really interested, check with REDCROSS. He is into XFI stickers and sells them to forum members for $10 a wack. Maybe he could help you out, but on the other hand, he has sold only a little over one hundred in two years.

As for resources, any quality graphic/printing shop can do the decals for a very reasonable price. I had several "powered by Mercedes-Benz" decals made up for my windshield and door sills for under $20 (see the pic in my sig block).

Good luck with your idea.

I was really referring to something posted in another thread about the XFi sticker.

Okay, you lost me here... the first quote above is something I wrote in another thread. You copied it and posted it here, but how does it pertain to this thread??? And when you quote someone, how about including their name... thanks.

The attack on the XFi Decal and then you went below to state you had several "powered by Mercedes-Benz" decals made up for your windshield and door sills. I didn't include your name with the quote because I wasn't trying to call you out. I was making a statement on your Powered by Mercedes statement which is the topic of this particular thread. Sorry for the confusion.

The thread that I posted in concerned stickers/decals or whatever you want to call them and license plate frames, having this site's URL on them... which I said IMO looked tacky (referring to the site URL, not stickers in general). No way did it concern what is being talked about here, until you brought my statement into this thread. Leave things where you find them. Had I wanted to comment or get involved in this thread, I would have made a post.

Where is the attack on the XFI decal? I merely stated someone on the forum made decals and was selling them here, and has sold just a little over 100 in two years. The person asking how to get stuff made might want to get in touch with the XFI guy on how to get theirs made with the site URL on it. I also offered a solution that anyone could go to any good graphic/decal shop and have them made very inexpensively.

Don't take everything as an attack and don't twist what I said around, geez...
