Here are some pics of my new APS mesh grill with my custom center spine. I'll post later on how I did it but here are the pics for now, I think it makes the grill look even better.

Also my Startech front and rear spoiler package.

Chrome shift ****

KVT-M700 in dash LCD with navigation, Xbox, DVD player, and sirius. It matches the dash perfectly and even lights up in the exact same green color for all the buttons and screen.

My Eibach pro drop

And full CTD chrome package with mirror covers, window sill, gills, and door shells.

Basically a compilation of everything I've done so far for the the new guys here to see whats possible.

I'm going to add the TVT250 package or hopefully the full package with pulleys and exhaust.

Enjoy and let me know if you have any requests.

That is one beautiful car!!! Have you ever considered the clear side markers? I've always said if I were to get another xfire I would get a white coupe I think they look the best with the exterior mods.

 

wow that is one beautiful car. i love the white they look the best imo

 

I like what you've done, in your opinion is there anyway to accentuate the center spine in the grille? or diminish the frame?

 

Also, chrome turn signal bulbs would look good!

I just added those front and rear, much better.

 

Your car looks sweet my friend. You've done a great job with the mods.

Is the Startech front and rear spoiler package still available through sny vendor?

 

FP, CTD still has them and I highly recommend it. You really can't tell in pics how bad azz it looks. Doesn't do it justice. I saw a Crossfire guy at the Mobil near my house yesterday on the way to take these pics and he was just floored at the transformation between his bone stock car and my car. He picked my brain for like 20 minutes.

The center spine on the grill was something I really wanted to add. I liked the grill as is but knew that a center spine would legitimize it. I thought about it for a day and then remembered something when I was in PEP Boys. I saw one of those huge CB antennas and thought hell I have a grinder wheel at home, JB Weld, and a hacksaw. I took the CT Antenna measured it so that it would fit only if I had to force it in with force. I then made my bends using a C clamp. I used the grinding wheel to taper the edges and then I applied the spine which snaps in very securely. I then finished it off with some Liquid Steel just on the top near the welds.

Rock solid and makes the grill look 100% better IMO.

I would get the clear corners but I don't like how they stick out. Also, I have the chrome bulbs but don't know how to put them in. LOL

 

Chrome bulb - The Crossfire is the easiest ever!
Open hood, twist bulb holder and the bulb pops right out (no wires on the fronts) change bulb, replace.

In the rear compartment there are covers over the openings to gain access to the bulbs - same procedure except these have wires on the holders.
Realistically this will take 5 minutes!

 

Thanks 70!!! I have my bulbs still in the box in the garage. Going to do it today!

My final exterior mod is the SLK amg32 side skirts. I ordered them today.

 

I wonder if TVT can get them for me. I'm getting the TVT250 package from them as well.

I've sent him a PM.

 

TVT should because they get stuff from CTD. CTD can definitely get them. Thats where I got all of mine!

 

I dont like chrome mirrors on this car.

Add more chrome!

 

Oh my god...

I realy dont like this crack under grille...

 

MAYAman, there's a lot here to like! Good work.

btw: what Kenwood unit is that? Looks good in the dash.

EDIT: D'oh. Just saw your the model number in your first post.

 

You've done a fabulous job. I really like your style!.... ...
