Then I thought, wait a sec, the car isn't totally AMG, it's more of a Karmann creation than anything. So I went looking for a Karmann badge. There's not much out there, and nothing that will fit in the circular Chrysler spot. I thought about making one up, using the 6 pointed wheel logo from Karmann, and having the the words Karmann and Onsabruck around the outside, kinda like the circular AMG badges.
Of course, I'd have to put one on the front, and on the wheel caps too. How hard are those things to get off? I know some people are replacing them with the custom Crossfire logos, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
What do you think?

Re: German Heritage Pride
I was going to email Karmann and ask permission to reproduce their logo for placement on our cars. I'm pretty sure that as long as we ask nicely, they'll say yes. If not, I'll just use the AMG badge.

Re: German Heritage Pride
Thanks Dan, I already had you in mind.
I just sent an email to Karmann USA, asking permission to reproduce their logo, and make badges. I also requested artwork and specifics on colors. Most manufacturers provide this kind of info to people that want/need to reproduce their logos.
I'll let you know what I find out.

I sent Karmann a note (as many have done) and hope for favorable results.

SRT-6 Crossfires are all AMG but they are Chrysler Crossfires. Keep it original and be proud of what they are and what we have. I hate cars with fake high performance emblems on them and loud mufflers. The srt-6 emblem says it all. Just my opinion. Thanks

The car really does have the AMG SC V6 so the addition (not removal of SRT6 badging) of the V6 Kompressor badges ties the AMG and Chrysler design together. I would be putting the Komp. badges above the faux side vents on each side of the car. Other opinions?

Re: German Heritage Pride
Hey, the great folks at Karmann sent me two of their decals and two of the badges after I emailed and asked. What great customer service.
I will definitely display the badges on my car.
