Ed, I wouldn't want the MB version of our cars. I like my Crossfire for what it is, and it's originality. That said, I would have never bought my Crossfire had it been a true Chrysler. Just having some Photoshop fun...

FP well said!! I happen to believe that the grill of the Crossfire is the weakest appearance item on the car. That does not mean I don't like the car. If I can find something I think will improve the overall appearance I will do it.

I have a Base X-Fire with some of the worse seats ever put in a car. Mercedes, Chrysler or otherwise. I hope to change them down the road. They suck!!! I still love the car.

John,, you might want to look at Katzkin. They have very nice leather options for the base model, with many color choices you may like.

I have been working on a Mercedes inspired grille and emblem for my car, I wasn't going to share it but I will. The emblem may be on the heavy side, as it is machined from a block a titanium. The kit will include structural supports and a roof-tether chain (pictured with prototype) and badging for the grille and windshield. The kit will require slight re-tooling to mount to the car, but IMHO it is worth it. Let me know what you guys think, and keep in mind that the photgraph enclosed is just a handmade prototype. The production model may vary slightly.

YOU MISSED YOUR CALLING. Who could not love it. The dimentions are perfect. There is also a nautical theme going on here with a chain from a ships anchor. Nice touch

Make it spin while you're driving, so it can power the electric supercharger - beauty and functionality all in one!

If you think $1,200 to $1,500 for a seat covers is a good deal LOL

I looked around when I had a base coupe, and I would buy SLK/SRT/Limited seats before doing an overpriced conversion because with the covers, the underlying seat will still suck

When I checked for covers before customnizing mine, they where around $700. For $1500 I can do all three rows of my Armada.

Interesting thing happened to me the other day. I went to the Chrysler dealership to get a new key (stupid keychain loop broke off) they told me I had to go to the MB dealership to get one. I go to the MB dealership and they tell me that technically they can do it, but asked why I didn't go to a Chrysler dealership... Does anyone want to claim this car anymore? I'd probably have better luck getting service if I just debadged it and put my name on the damn car haha.
