Well they do not say crossfire on them but i know how some of you like to bring out the mercedes in our cars. They are way cheaper than the crossfire ones too.

The AMG ones would be sweet. Would the sills fit in our cars?

Yes, the OEM sills are a MB part. Look on the bottom and you'll see the MB emblem and the part number.

Ask them to do a SRt-6 one. Or crossfire. And why in blue? All interior is green. Why mix the two together? Get hold of a green one.

I doubt a website that is call for my mercedes would make a product for chrysler. Maybe if we had enough people they might and informed them about or micheal jackson type cars.

I have emailed them in the past - they said these would not fit a Crossfire.
However, I doubt they even checked the part numbers.

Sure looks like a fit to me.

I noticed on the site that they do not have a secure shopping cart. You cannot do an online order. You have to call to place an order and give your card information over the phone. I am not that trusting of a person. If this site wants to do business on the internet, they need to get an SSL certificate.

I was going by the statement that is on the "Contact Us" page at the bottom:

Also, before I clicked on Contact Us, I clicked on the"My Roadster" link in his navigation menu. I just noticed that it took me to a different site of his: MyRoadster.net

Those don't look like the right part. Those are for a different model Merc. We need the ones for a R170 (an SLK 32, years 2000-2004).

OK, I revisited the site and drilled down to the right model. They don't change the picture for the different sills / car models. So those should be the correct part.

Platform designation for Mercedes, there's a bunch of different ones. If you were to venture over to the Mercedes Forum you would see the different numbers R 170 etc.

As Pat mentioned, R170 is a platform designation. The R170 Mercedes included the SLK32 and SLK32 AMG (as well as others), which is essentially what Crossfires are based on. Our cars share a huge percentage of parts with the R170 platform, and for most purposes can be considered an R170 car.

The caveats are of course most things to do with body panels, and some of the suspension.

So when shopping for parts for your Crossfire, you can often shop as if the car is a 2000-2004 SLK32.
