Well I was on you tube watching my weekly automotive subscriptions when I came this conversation. Overall this is an enjoyable radio program but far from one of my favorites. Go ahead skip to 55 minute mark if you want to witness the crossfire hood streak bashing. Personally I couldn't help but chuckle at a few of there remarks.

The guy should be more worried about his salmon colored suit jacket.

 

Gotta hate how our hoodstrakes collect water and ice...

 

And to think, I thought SPORTS talk radio was a waste of airtime. What an idiotic discussion. (And not just the remarks about Crossfires).

 

Mine don't. I filled them with chrome peel and stick. Looks good to me and don't care what others do. It's MINE. Gary

Pictures and a "How To" Please.

 

I honestly find it more of a compliment. I think that is cool that we all drive car that has been out of production for nearly 5 years, yet is still on the minds' car enthusiast, whether or not there remarks are good or bad, the crossfire still made a name for itself, and that says something.

 

That actually sounds sorta cool. Yes pictures please.

OK I will take some but keep in mind that it is reversible. It is a Glitzy car from the start. Gary

 

I will admit it is not for everybody. That said, I like it.

The grill mod makes it work. Frankly doing just one or the other would look pretentious but since you did both, very nice effect.

I'm sorry, just too much peel and stick. Actually the lower body bothers me more than the hood. The lower front lip, I can even see where there is a joint. The surround of the grille and the verticals.

I just don't get buying one kind of car when you really want another obviously.

I'm not bashing, I am just expressing what I have thought here frequently.

By all means if you love it, it is your car and you should do whatever you want. (If you ever want to sell, maybe you should unpeel and unstick)

Best wishes and enjoy your hood in the hood.

Does that mean they probably don't like my 07 Sebring Limited either?

 

I don't know about you guys, but my Crossfire is long put away before there is any danger of ICE (!) forming in my hood strakes.

 

I had thought long and hard about continung the hood strake theme on my front end.

First I thought of getting a black mesh grille with chrome surround and applying some stripping.

Then I thought of painting the horizontal bits on the OEM grille black and painting the vertical strakes either in body color or something brighter (aluminum or chrome).

But after seeing your execution, I think I'd be better off getting a billet grille instead

 

Just the mod you need to accompany your colored electrical tape

 

Took the words outa my mouth, not only does my Crossfire not see ice, or snow, but also does not see rain.

 

Same here. But if it did see ice-there is enough NXT 2 to make it slide right off!

Dang'near killed the neighbors cat...

Slid off right into the rose bushes.

Did land on her feet though.

 

If you drive slow enough to let water and ice collect in those grooves... you're doing it wrong.

 

I discovered my rakes now collect pollen!

 

I have grooves on both my Xfire & Sebring! Any advice on the best way to put them on my Ranger?
