As many of you know, I recently lost an XF that was very dear to me. I have decided the only thing to do to ease my soul is to create one that is even better. While this is going to take some time and some cash, I have been working on her for about a month now, and will give you some shots of her now, grill-less and some pics leading up to this.

I am sure many people will say, what did he do to it? Everything is incredibly subtle and w/o seeing it in person, I would highly doubt anyone can even notice everything. Let me know what you think so far.....

First one to get all the mods so far, gets a beer (or a little shine ) from me at the next GTG LOL

 

So far I can see the debadging, the rear wing removal, the front wing Chrysler badge removed, the headlights side markers and taillights smoked, tinted windows, the windshield surround painted (looks awesome) and it looks like some changes to the fog lights.
So far it looks awesome. I cannot wait to see it all completed!

 

Lookin good John! I have a special place in my heart for the Graphite's! I like the windshield surrond, nice!

 

Rear MOPAR diffusers, black crossfire centercaps. did the rear wing come off clean or did you have to patch holes?

 

Whoops, I didn't see this thread when I posted in your other thread! Sorry about that and I suppose you can disregard my previous post in the older thread.

What is the official name of the color of this car? I have to say I think I like it better than black. I like the general direction of things, but I can't say I've ever liked tinted headlights. But I look forward to seeing what direction you take everything else. I think the hardest part of modifying the crossfire is choosing wheels the look good and actually fit. I can only assume that you are looking into new wheels, so I look forward to seeing the direction you take.

 

Its Graphite Metallic.

 

This, plus you've blacked out your exhaust tips

 

I think that is normal. Mine are blacked out like that, and it came that way.

 

Nice catch on the diffuser. It is really hard to see. I missed it.

 

We are getting closer.

I know its hard to tell, but the surround on the windshield is full CF hydrographics.

I can't believe no one noticed the strakes?

I will post up some more pics of the pieces in progress here in a minute.

And yes, I am getting some rims, but have an entire winter to pick out what I want

Edit: Romio - the rear wings came off in about 5 seconds, I actually had Molly remove them with a little guidance from me. Then it is a little adhesive remover.

 

LOL well the magnaflow catback has been delayed, so the OEM exhaust is going soon enough

 

CF windshield close up


Painted tail lights with black accent strip


Day 2 at the paint booth


And a peek at the grill, here it is with a turned finish
(Since then it has been sprayed with tinted clear and looks AMAZING)


More to come.... in time

And there is NO VINYL on the car anywhere, everything has been painted.

 

Looking good John. Having fun yet? I am excited seeing what you have done. Keep thoes pics coming.

 

Curious as to why you removed the rear wing. are you repacing it with an srt style wing? Or do you prefer a clean no-wing look?

 

Strakes? What'd you do, you can't see in the photos?

 

Love that custom stuff.....looks nice John...

 

Im pretty sure his wing is just down. We were talking about the rear chrome Chrysler wings

 

that makes sense!

 

Strakes are body color with flat black 'inserts', along with a few other little touches such as the windshield cowl and wiper arms being body color as well. Like I said, everything at this point is incredibly subtle, but the cowl and wiper arms look SOOOO clean in body color
