Default Autotrader...WTF

Cars for Sale: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster 2D in JACKSONVILLE, FL 32206: Convertible Details - 295602484 - AutoTrader.com

Saw this one on autotrader and the custom work is pretty cool, but what is the deal with the headlights???

I believe those are the Startech lamp assemblies. Don't care for them personally, but to each their own.

A bit ugly to me and I've never met a Crossfire I didn't like.

$27 K and it does not even have nav radio, or ( gulp ! ) Lambo doors .......
( if ANY Crossfire should have Lambo doors, that one should ) - it couldn't get any worse than it is .........

I think that I could find 2 other ones I like better if I had that much money to spend.

You can't even compare a pair of "spidey" headlights to a set of well executed Lambo doors....

Love em or hate em they are most likely the only headlamp assemblies one would be able to put their hands on right now without a backorder. Just sayin'

Look at the pictures, they have done a very nice install of a double din radio, it looks like a Pioneer. I dont like where they moved the switch panel, in the glove box but I have to say they have done an outstanding job with both the radio install and panel move. Someone has really done some MODs to this car and like the look or not they were very nicely done.

I just purchased an 05 with 18k miles and if the subject car was half the $27K I would not have considered it.
Just not my taste but I am not going judge other's.

The car is either way over priced or a set of 20's and a Pioneer system doubles the value of the car?

The person that did the mods did a great job in executing the mods. The problem is the rims do not fit with the car stylistically in my opinion. The aftermarket headlamps are uglier than a pile of dog poo. The car has no market potential at 27k.

Show-off! What kit did you use again? I can't remember?
Awesome looking ride SRT SIX!

Oh yea, got to say that that poor Crossfire should be shot and put out of its misery. Looks like a DeeTeeDee, like it wears a helmet and doesn't play football! Wow that's ugly!
