Lol what do you guys recommend then?
anyone else have rust spots where the rubber on the glass hits the trunk? i looked under my doors and no rust there!

But my neighboor has been painting for 20 years and his son who is also one of my closest friends, has been painting since he graduated high school, so im pretty covered on any exterior need. i noticed some imperfections on the hood as well. but regardless im in love with car!

ill be upgrading the headunit later this week. i go crazy without music! i start to drive fast because i wanna hear something. also will be upgrading to 8000k HID's and 35% tints all around. Im on pretty good terms with the owner of a local shop and he always hooks me up.

so ill keep you guys updated!

I'm in the Chicago area too (Joliet/Plainfield actually). I just bought 05 coupe this afternoon. I actually had no intention of doing so. I always though they were cool looking cars, thought if I ever bought one, it would have to be black and a stick.

Driving past a Dodge dealer, looking more to see if they had any Challengers, I spotted a black Crossfire. Stopped in, noticed it was a stick. When the salesman came out, I asked him the price. It was less than I expected. Took the car for a ride - 32,000 original miles. Car is in perfect condition. We talked numbers, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the car and my trade-in. Left my Grand Cherokee there, drove the Crossfire home.

I think my wife was a bit miffed. She drives a Camaro, so the Jeep was our grocery getter. She'll get over it... or leave. Either works for me.

BTW... love the Crossfire as much as I thought I would!
