Default Generic Supercharged

Allot of people seem to get upset when ever an SRT owner wants to add an AMG or V6 Kompressor emblem to their car for what ever reason.
Personally, I think the "strategic" use of emblems, can give a Crossfire an entirely different persona, and gives it that little somethin "extra" that makes it stand out.
With that being said, here are whole bunch of "Generic Supercharger" emblems that could be placed in several different locations on any SRT, and they shouldn't offend anybody. Because the only message that they convey is that this car has a big honkin BLOWER.
Besides, it doesn't matter that they didn't come on the car from the factory, because nobody knows anything about the Crossfire to begin with. So why not take advantage of other car owners lack of knowledge, and have some fun with it.

I like keeping it a sleeper for all the clowns that pull up beside you and don't have a clue what's under the hood.

For a someone who doesn't like badges (me) I think that looks really clean - Nice work; keep that beauty looking sharp.

What a coincidence Maxxm, A few years ago I suggested using the Buick Riviera's "Supercharged" emblem, and place it right where you currently have your SRT emblem.
I guess great minds do think alike.

Got it on eBay here. It was meant as part of a vette emblem, according to the seller. Still looks brand new after more than two years, and the size and location are normal and discreet, IMHO.

slapping on badges just looks tacky. keep it stock. it just makes you look like your trying to hard.

What do you all think about an SRT6 badge on the right rear backpanel? (Bottom part of the deck lid on a coupe.)

I prefer the sleeper approach to vehicles.
If someone pulls up wanting to run, I'd rather them not know what is under the hood (if they don't know about our cars), it makes it a little more fun IMO.

There's nothing wrong with the "stealth" look either. But I figure our cars look way fast to start with, so no matter if you're driving a Base, Limited, or SRT, it's going to be kind of hard to hide the fact that there is "something" under the hood.
I only posted this EBAY page to offer up an alternative to using V6 Kompressor emblems, or AMG badges. (Which I think work just fine on a SRT)
As Maxwell pointed out, some people may feel it looks "tacky" to add on badges. But I feel that's one of the nice things about a Crossfire, nobody other than a Crossfire owner really knows what the car came with from the factory. Besides, some people just want the world to know that they are packin something special, and why not? They paid extra to get it, so they might as well show it off.

Bravo Zulu to you!! Someone finally with a classy and unbiased post. I like your hood too! I'm sure some people may think it is a bit over the top, but I know why you did it and the connection you are trying to make to AMC! Cheers!

Thanks Cgocifer, and I'm glad you like my hood. But I know it's not for everybody, and that's OK too.
I just don't see anything wrong in making changes to your car if it pleases you. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion of course, but in the end, you're the only one you have to impress.
Let's face it, there weren't alot of "different" Crossfire models to choose from during its 5 year run, and only a handful of colors too. So basically, all of our cars look pretty much alike.
If there was some sort of "LAW" that said we couldn't change "anything" on our cars, just think how dull the next big Crossfire "only" car show would be. It would probably be as exciting as walking around one of Chrysler's "storage facilities".
Remember.....MIYO.

Hey Mike, are you planning to put a supercharger under that slick hood? Or just badges to scare off the ricer kids?

To be continued.
It's a work in progress.
For the record, I made 23 separate modifications to my AMX, so I've got a long way to go with my Crossfire.

That's the trouble with Woodward. You see EVERYTHING all in one day. Last time I was pretty overwhelmed.

Yeah that's true, but for a car guy/girl, it's good to be OVERWHELMED at least once a year.
