Mr GG 
Hope all is well! Hope you get hold of your stickers! Personally I would not put on the MB stickers, I would then consider some other XF customised stickers. That would be way cooler!
have a nice evening!

Some put a SRT spoiler on theirs, I think a couple have put a NA spoiler on their SRT. I was thinking about how mine would look with MB badges on it. Maybe some others might like to put em on theirs. In the end, its all good, isn't it? You are correct, it's your car, you should do what pleases you, not others.
Us old guys sometimes forget that.

(these were made by Karl)Except of course, it would have to be a "Max" M and not a "Mike" M.

Re: Is there a complete set of MB decals available?
And as to the OP, I had a few "MB" themed stickers and even star center caps on my wheels. But it really didn't take too long for me to realize that even there is 90% + German content in the vehicle, and assembled in Germany to boot: it really is posing. I've since pared it down to a "Powered by Mercedes Benz" raised sticker under the hood.
I'd never tell you what to do, but no one will ever tell you what they are really thinking, either.

Max, that is where the design came from.... Sheldon(?) had the Stern logo done for his and I just had the M put in instead.....
Contact Karl (SRT SIX) and see if he will make you a set..... they would look even better if you get some of the AcuDome 3D doming compound..... AcuDOME 3D Doming Compound - Glotrax Polymers Inc (GPI) ......for them as they are flat... you need to do this before you put them in...(you have to break out the Chrysler logo's, easy, for these)

Obviously we have differing viewpoints, can you enlighten me

I do agree with GraphiteGhost, in theory, that everyone can mod their car in any way they see fit, no matter what anyone else thinks. But this one thing, the full "rebranding" of the car, just really rubs me the wrong way and it's one of the few things I just detest when modding a car. To my eyes it makes one look like a poser. Anyone who knows what the car is will know what it is, everyone else will think you're no different than those Honda kids who put BMW emblems all over their Civics. Sorry.
But, at the end of the day, it's just my opinion and I realize that. Your car, your money, your desires.

Re: Is there a complete set of MB decals available?
All,
I joined this forum a few weeks ago and just bought my second Crossfire in Red. I have replaced my 04 black 5-speed with this red automatic and only 50k miles.
I have purchased emblems from Dan Root in the past and just ordered more for the red one. His website is:
Chrysler Custom Crossfire Accessories
My emblems are in the mail and this time I have ordered red with silver background and with KARMANN (in black) written on them. Afterall the car was designed by KARMANN.
I had KARMANN with black background on my black Xfire as well.
Also, this is what I have done with both of my Crossfires. I have taken all letters off in the back and have left only S S F as they are exactly in the middle of the trunk area and line up perfectly underneath the big tail emblem.
I have confused a lot of people with my first black Crossfire as a lot of people ended up asking me as to where is KARMANN SSF made and by whom:-)
As a matter of fact, I once accidently left the driver door propped open and somehow my alarm went off in the parking lot at work. Our parking lot manager called me asking if I owned a KARMANN SSF :-) and I was like heck yeah!! :-)
Cheers..
Paul
