My Version Of Powered By
Okay, I had a few hours to kill today so I decided to jump on the Powered by Mercedes-Benz band wagon and see what I could come up with.
For the console, I had the nameplate made in black with silver lettering at an trophy shop.
The gray window decal matches the SSB color of my car. IMO it is a subtle statement and blends in well without being overbearing. It can not be seen at a great distance but tastefully proclaims the car's heritage to anyone who is checking it out as they walk by.
Opinions/comments are welcome.

bobs, I had them made at a shop that does decals, logos and signs using New Times Roman font. Very inexpensive, initial setup fee and six decals for $15.00.
crossfirefun, thanks. I think it blends in well without being overbearing.
harry7/Irafatsar, because I wanted to and although they are nice, I don't care for the other emblems and decals that are being sold on this forum. I wanted to keep all the Chrysler emblems. If I wanted a three pointed star, I would of bought a car that had one. And as others have said, Chrysler should have acknowledged the Crossfire's MB lineage, maybe then they would be selling better.
BTW, you do know that there are other street and race cars that have bodies different than the makers of their engines? Do some research and you will be surprised just how many street and race cars fall within that group, including the Crossfire . The first two examples that come to mind are none other than the Lotus Elise with it's Toyota engine and the Dodge Sprinter with a MB engine. Then you have F1 cars, Indy cars etc, etc.
Crossfire: Designed/sold/serviced by Chrysler + MB engine = Powered by Mercedes-Benz.

If it were me, I'd would've went with silver w/black lettering on the console. I always thought the word "Crossfire", in the proper font, would look best on the console.

Thank you.
Sorry I'm all out. I ruined one, put another one on my car, kept one for myself as a spare. I gave one to a friend for his SLK 320. The owner of my dealership saw it on my car Monday when I went in to pick up a HVAC filter and wanted one. I gave him the two I had left for his SRT for a free oil change.
You can copy and print the attachment below. It is what I took to the logo shop and had mine made from. The font is New Times Roman. Any decal/logo shop can make them.
Thanks for asking about them.
