I like that FP. Take off the MB star, put the Chrysler wings on it and you've got a winner. That star up front looks like something Jay-Z or LaBron James would wear out clubbing. Maybe Eminem too would get off on that!

FP, I like it as well. I do agree with Mcdaniels4 on the Mercedes emblem being a little over the top. BTW I do find your photo work interesting.

Laugh every.ime I see a forum member try to make their XF into a Mercedes...
Why not sell the XF and buy a SLK? Was the XF cheaper ?
I went for the XF due to it's originality and low numbers. why try to make into a mercedes that everyone knows about? It's like having a Lotus or Maserati trying to make it look like a Ferrari ..

just my 0.02$

you can put the star on it...but it is not a Mercedes. It has AMG driveline, and Karmann built, so where does the Mercedes people come in? Am I missing something? Every car builder today buy parts from vendors, vendors that make parts for all makes and models...and the end product finally get a badge of somekind, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, etc....I don't mind showing a little AMG pride, but I don't get the MB connection I guess. Now MB's SLK's with that AMG drivetrain, I get that....lol And, I like that...but, not built by Karmann from what I understand.

I find my mercedes design more aesthetically pleasing then the current chrysler grill, I am aware that by changing the badge does not make it a mercedes lol

Hi,
My Chrysler Crossfire '05 N/A Limited uses MB sourced mechanicals and electrical systems. Karmann built it along with the MB CLK convert. and the Audi A4. The Crossfire was not built BY Chrysler but FOR Chrysler. Daimler was pulling all the strings back then. From what I've read (ALLPAR.COM
), Chrysler wanted to build the Crossfire in the plant that the Prowler was made at but Daimler insisted on using MB parts and outsourcing the build to Germany.

I still wouldn't put the MB star on it though. Now a Karmann badge would look cool!

too bad you can't replace the front one with that one. I might leave Chrysler on it then...but, nothing on the car says chrysler anymore

I know it's history, but it is a ******* car anyway you look at it. Outdate chassis built for MB, but not by MB. The Chrysler design built for MB/Chrysler, but by MB or Chrysler. For some of us, AMG driveline, built for our cars as well MB Slk's...The parts are from vendors who make parts for other makes as well. So German vendors versus, Japanese vendors...lol...surely there aren't very many US vendors left...I guess that is why I like these little bastards, they are just a challenge...and a rare challenge at that. It was just too easy before to go to a Chevy dealer and get parts...I guess I needed a bigger challenge.

The heck with the rest I like the grill everyone is so quick to bash. If that is what he wants then go for it. Just like when I get my car wrapped their will be some that won't like it. But ask me if I care.
