My top three favorite accessories:

*Cold Air Intake (accessory? no... But more fun? Heck yeah!)
*Windscreen (I have one from windblox).
*Heated seat covers (making those chilly nights just that much better. Then again, if you have the lady in the car, the heated seats would better off removed.

Windscreen first, especially with long hair; One Touch switch - for sure. Cute guy riding shotgun. 3M Sunbrella to waterproof - water bounces right off, I couldn't believe it. And a Magnaflow - why not! The smile is free. Comes with the car.

Since the tops are almost impossible to replace, consider adding a California Pop-Top to the list.

It's a Tyvek cover that protects the top, interior & soft trim from sun damage/fading. They're on e-bay for $40-$50.

Also, a company named Auto-Chic makes a cover to protect your interior when the top is down for $69.

LMAO!

Eye candy is dandy
And a windscreen so they do not look like the Shaggy Dog.

I ordered one of those in November from:
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']http://www.adamesh.co.uk/wind-deflector-for-chrysler-crossfire-266-p.asp[/FONT]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']It arrived from the UK at my door in Toronto in under 30 hours! I was astounded. I really like it. Adam is a good guy to deal with... we did everything over the phone.[/FONT]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Good choice,
The mesh looks good and works well.

I carry around a lint roller for the top - we have a lot of cottonwoods down here and those fuzzy little things stick like glue, and make the top look terrible! 3 minutes with the lint roller and it looks like new!

Now that Crumpy has her own Crossfire, I need a new accesory.

Megan Fox would do. Unlike my current inflated companion who tends to fly off the handle eveytime I put the top down.

You're not alone - this guy takes his on vacations regularly without his wife:

Man takes life-sized dolls on vacations - UPI.com

Although it doesn't look like his are inflatable - says he's paid up to $3200 each for them (and he has 14!). Just think of the accessories you could get for that kind of $$$!!

Funny.

Actually, with two Crossfires, Crumpy and I take separate vacations ,,,,,,,together.

Perhaps I should rethink the Megan thing.

Thank you Inferno for the letting us know about this eccelent windscreen!
I got mine today, and since the sun is shining today I decided to try it emediately. +6c and 110km/h was no problem at all, even if I have to admit that my testdrive was just a few km :-)
Much less turbulence then before + very good looking makes me to recommend this item to all roadsterowners!

www.adamesh.com has the best price. I don't know if there would be any benefits to having it in a coupe.
