Default Xfire logo between seats?

I have been to 2 car shows in the last couple of days and was noticing that later model corvettes and even the Saturn Sky has their emblems on the back wall between the seats, I think this would be a nice addition to the blank space that exists on the xfire and would show up great on the roadsters with the top down. Has anybody ever thought about doing this?

This is where I have one of SRT Six plates he makes. Looks great there.

Here's a variation on your thoughts for the Crossfire. When I installed the lighted door sills, I removed one of the original metal door sill plates and added it to the top of the shelf, behind the seats on my SRT6 Coupe. A little different from your suggestion....

Steve, do you have any pics? Is it an SRT plate or just Crossfire?

If I'm not mistaking what you want is a plastic or fiber glass shell that goes between the seats matching the car color and having a CF or SRT badge on display. Something like this;

I was just thinking of some kind of plate with the Crossfire name that could be attached to the existing black plastic cover. I guess you could make up a cover of some kind and paint it to match the car color or silver to match the rest of the interior, but I am not sure where you would get the lettering or logo to attach to the plate.

It is the one that says SRT-6. Maybe Karl could whip up a larger one if enough people are interested an some sort of design. I just thought it looked bare across that support piece.

That would be real sharp.

I was thinking of just "Crossfire" in the correct font would look good. There is not a lot of room for much more. If you think about it, the only logo inside the car is the Chrysler logo on the steering wheel. When I have had my Xfire at some of the local car shows, I have noticed people walking around to the back of the car trying to figure out what it is. The first thing they do is look on the sides! Nothing there either.

I debadged the car and have Andrew's decals covering the Chrysler emblem. They really have to do some searching to see what it is. I really like the plate where I have it. I feel it realy adds like you said...nothing on the inside. I wish it was a little larger though.

Anybody know somebody that could make a plate with the Crossfire name on it? Just something that could attached directly to the existing cover behind the seats.

Here is what I have been looking for! Thanks to Dan for coming up with this. You can contact him at danwanpan@aol.com or check out his ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Emblems-and-More. I emailed him and told him what I wanted and he made it up. No problems! $15 plus $5 dollars shipping.

That sounds like a good place to mount one of my SRT6 engine plaques. I'll have to tack it up and see how it looks.

If people want a raised crossfire letter set for the center, I can definitely make them. I don't know pricing yet as I'd have to look into material costs but I have two options. It all depends on what people want. I can do them either as a raised letter like the rear of the car lettering or I can do them in a chrome vinyl with a clear domed topcoat like what Chrysler used for all their logos from the late '90s to about 5 years ago. Let me know what everyone is thinking.

Jim, You really lucked out on finding that car. I wonder how many Crossfires they used and would have that logo on it?

I don't like the looks of the crossfire log that you ptu inbetween the seats. I personally feel that if you are going to put anything there it has to be raised to add a different texture.

I, however, do not have the little pouch between my seats, as it is a) a coupe and b) a base model.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Crossfire lettering from the back of the car embroidered on the carpet piece, though I don't know what the logistics of getting that done would be.

If you had an SRT-6 you could get the SRT-6 logo embroidered there and I think that would look nice, as an accent. I dont know about putting something on the top, though I do like the door trim idea, if it could be extended and put over the who top of the wall rather than over the top of the trunk space cover.

Just throwing ideas out there. I'm sure someone has better ones.
