I was interested in a mesh grill like the Caddies have. I have been patiently waiting. Hell just froze over so I contacted the people at E&G Classics and as the largest grille manufacturer in the US with after market grilles they have an interest. They typically do not go into production for less than 100 units but after my conversation they are bringing in a Crossfire from a local dealership the week after next (Jonathan is on vacation this coming week) to look at a proto type. If anyone wants to contact them and urge the build, call starting 8/14/06. There web site is : http://www.egclassic.com/
Here is the email I received from them:

Thank you for contacting E&G Classics. We are the leading manufacturer of
high quality custom grilles for a wide variety of vehicles. We have never
produced a grille for the Crossfire due to its limited sales volume. While
it does outsell the Cadillac XLR, we have more Cadillac dealers that will
purchase XLR grilles than Chrysler dealers will purchase a Crossfire grille.
Chrysler dealers have always been reluctant to add any accessories to the
Crossfire.
However, we would like to take a look at producing the grille. You mention
that you could come to our Columbia, MD location. We would like to set up a
time that would be convenient for you to bring your car in.
Please send me an email and we will set up a time to meet.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Titman
National Sales Manager
E&G Classics, Inc.

All I can say is that judging by the National Sales Manager's name, he and I have a lot in common.

 

You should of been the one trying to ask for him on the phone! And it is pronounced as you would think!

 

What will it look like?
I'm very interested if it doesn't go the Pontiac direction?

 

Thanks for rolling the ball, Upstate. E&G makes grilles for the most popular cars and trucks with high sales. The only Chrysler vehicle they manufacture for is the 300 and 300C. Not the 300M or any other Chrysler as far as I know.
Good luck!

 

Interesting.

 

that's crazy, one of my best friends growing up was named jonathan titman, and his brother was jeremy titman. that's crazy.

 

woo boy -- here we go again. keep up updated!

 

Any update on this? Here are two interesting grilles they make for the PT:

 

CLASSIC!!!

 

Well I just fired off another email since I have heard nothing. Should hear something after the holiday. I'll let everyone know.

 

CTD was also supposed to be working on a new lower grill. Has anyone heard what their progress has been. I suppose I could send Tino a message and find out myself.

 

Please add me to the list.

Also, I'm a resident of MD (Odenton but moving to Columbia when I get back in the states). Can you email me about the details of the shop they have out there? Thanks!
