It does look good, but I am not for sure why someone would want to buy one kind of car and put emblems from another make. I have never seen a Chevy with Cadillac name plates, A Ford with Lincoln name plates. If I would have wanted a Mercedes I would have bought a Mercedes. Changing name plates doesn't change the car and I really like the Crossfire.......The Chrysler Crossfire.

The mercedes emblems remind me of the Toyota FJ40 guys that do a chevy engine swap and put the chevy bow tie on their grill. Its not changing the fact thats its still a toyota its just showing that its got a little chevy in it too. The mercedes emblems look great!

Nah, too poser for me.

Thats not to say it doesnt look good, just that I wouldnt do that. Then again, I ripped off my emblems and shortly realized my new ones don't fit. I'm only 16 what do I know LOL.

Wow, that actually looks incredible! I like the POWERED BY MERCEDES emblem in the front. I may want to get one of those! Congrats on a very well updated engine bay!

Cool, I'm going to a car show again in two weeks. I'm hoping there will be a good turn out there because it appears to be the last show for 2008. But no matter what, I do like how the engine bay turned out

The engine is a Mercedese afterall. If I put a Chevy engine in a 1940 Ford I wouldn't put Ford emblems on it. Lets face it we have the best of two worlds. We have advanced Chrysler styling with Mercedese engineering. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I said before I think it looks great but to it isn't a Chevy engine in a Ford (two different companies). It is a Daimler Chrysler Engine in a Daimler Chrysler product. The 3.7 built in Kenosha that goes in the Jeep built in Toledo doesn't say "Built by Kenosha".

Bottom line is I think it looks great and I have really seen some engine covers that looks great in addition to the many mods. I would like to do the same, I am just not going to try and rename the car.
