Great photoshoot on your car. Nice pics.

I am not a fan of black rims unless there is a polished or bright trim ring around the edge. Nice car as well.

A couple of things ....... Everything is blacked out: Side marker lights, door handles, side strakes, windshield surround, fog lights, tail lights, and wheels ...... So..... maybe different wheels that are black and glossy. Nice look, but you have "crossfire " decals on the front of the hood wing (and probably on the back), so I would remove the large MERCEDES star and graffics, and replace with the small "Powered by Mercedes-Benz" emblem. Just my $.02 and opinions

I love the black handle, trim around the windshield and grills. Not a fan of painting our rims black but yours doesn't look bad.

Is your windshield tinted? A big no-no where you live

I Like!!

I think the Chrysler wing/logo in the front and back would look good blacked out like the windshield surrounds.

I also think the upper & lower grills, along with the rims - would look really good powdercoaded a semi-gloss black.. - but at that point you could then powerder coat all your black accessories to look the same..

Can't PC plastic last time I looked into it...

Car looks good, I like the black and white together, but I am not a fan of the black painted OEM wheels for some reason. New rims and it is over....

I would lose the Mercedes stuff as well, but that is just my taste....

Try putting a thin (¼" maybe) white pinstrip on the rims as close to the edge as possiable. Very cheap to do, removeable. It will make all the black rim haters re-think!

White cars with a bunch of blacked out trim look hot - damn hot. Doing it to a Crossfire only makes it better.


Very nice. Very nice indeed.

I have a black srt and blacked out the hood too but the rims dont get it in my way of looking at it. Looks like brake dust to me, just saying, Woody

Technically you can't...BUT...if you don't have 20/20 vision there are several workarounds...you can get a note from you optometrist saying that the looking at the sun head on in your car gives you migraines or is blinding or something else you can get a note which will allow tint on the windshield below the 2in allowed in some states on the top of it...


...then again, heard this from a Corvette owner and haven't actually tried it myself yet.


P.S. Almost any tint shop will take your money and tint your windshield, the doctor's note would be just for WHEN you get pulled over by the police.
