As you put it, it's simply not an option because no Chrysler owner with an ounce of self respect would ever put any part from a American Motors vehicle on their car, even if it came from Germany.
What were you thinking? Wasnt there any CHRYSLER hood scoops you could have used?
Ummm, wasn't AMC bought-out by Chrysler........that would make an AMC vehicle as much a Chrysler vehicle as ours already are, wouldn't it?
I mean, if you're going to pick nits......

What? Something like this?

I personally think it was well done.

Maxcichon, you must be a mind reader. I had a 1969 Cuda fastback, and I sold it to an old high school buddy of mine. He put a big/block with a 6/pack in it, and slapped a "Hemi" style hood scoop on it. Just like the one in your photo.

To be honest, I don't know how to respond to dnr, I think he's just yankin my chain. But with that attitude, I sure hope he isn't a "Paramedic".
Enough "Hard Core" Chrysler enthusiasts at the "ALL" Chrysler Car Show in Carlisle P.A. last weekend voted me into 3rd. place, so I guess somebody must like it.

Well my friend, they are not alone.

I think your mod is probably the single most distinctive and attractive one I've seen.

In my HUMBLE opinion, a true "Hard Core" Chrysler person, if he's driving/owning one of these, is living in a glass house. And should be careful of his actions.

Just my HUMBLE opinion. Ya' 'unnerstand?

Voted third, what are they stupid? First place would be more like it. My question, is the hood functional?

Sure, it's functional. It covers the engine bay quite nicely.

You guys are too funny. And thanks for the "Kudo's".
Actually, I think anybody who can make a Black car look as good as you guys did last weekend deserve an award. I simply don't have the dedication, energy, and attention to detail it takes to keep a black car lookin good. Not to mention how beautifully detailed everybody's engine bay looked. Luckly I had an excuse to keep my hood closed (just to show off the scoop of course) or I would have been in big trouble.
Everbody's cars looked great, and I especially liked the custom "Slasher" stripe with the "Limited" graphic on TBirds Aero Blue roadster. (He already knows how I feel about his wheels).
Blackberry, I chose to keep the scoop non-functional, but it would be very easy to open it up because they reproduce all the internal duct work.

This is what I did. The Startech front spoiler, custom grill and then the Eibach lowering springs transform the car. I've been in parking lots with another crossfire and they can't believe its the same car. The Startech front spoilers are very rare now so contact TVT or CTD asap before they're all gone. Single best thing you can do to your Xfire in my opnion.
