Default After a good waxing

Hey guys, let me know of how you think it looks. Also, any ideas of any mods to improve the appearance would be helpful.

Rims look awesome. That's the style I've been wanting to do to mine (I've also got a black coupe).

As for mods, it doesn't look like there's much left to do appearance wise except either black things out or chrome more things.

I have added carbon fiber splitters to the front as well as the rear as you can see in the below pics. My wheels are 19x9.5 and 18x8.5 Ruff racing wheels with a 4 inch lip in the rear. Currently im running a 275 rear tire, but will be going for a 235 and a 25mm spacer to get the euro "stretch and poke" look. Suspension is currentl lowered about 2.5 inches and i plan on going about 1"-1.5" lower.

Dual intakes and a removed rear muffler help awake a little bit of power too!! Soon to come-75 shot wet NOS system

Interior mods include black suede headliner and simulated carbon fiber leather bucket seats.

Uhh, thats the best part!!! It gives the car a sleek and sexy look, its not a bright color that belongs in a rainbow. Especially since it is a base, it has no silver side strakes, door handles, or windshield molding, which completely diverte your attention from the car, and focuses it on a door handle,LOL.
I guess black is for those who prefer a more sophisticated look.

From where did you source the front splitters?

On a side note, I could tell you lived in Miami through that picture in front of your house (before looking at your location). No other place looks like Miami.

That splitter is pretty cool though. Please, do tell where you got it!

I agree 100% as I have a modified base coupe as well. Check out my gallery, I went a little different route with the wheels, blackout, and grill.

Looks great.

Nice XF. I have the "girly" red one but I'm man enough to carry it off.

So you joined back in 2007 but only have 17 posts? Must have been away for a while. If you have a good local source for the headliner let me know as mine is starting to come apart.

Deb knows exactly what she's talking about. Listen to her. Although I do like the blue hue in mine.

Google "Chrysler Crossfire", and you will notice that all automotive websites/magazines feature the below pic. I even noticed the Sylvania bulb fitment guide has it on the cover !!!

Silver might be the "creator", but black seems to be their main marketing tool.

Nice. Do you have any issues with inspection and the splitters?

We have similar rims.
