Default New to the crossfire forum

Hi there everyone,
I am new tothe forum and would like to introduce myself.
I have just bought a crossfire soft top 2005 and would like your advice on where to get quality parts.
There are so many places on line and I wondered if you had any experiences good or bad to share with me.

Congrats on the purchase! Wife just added a roadster to her favorite car list.. LOL.

Needswings is great for OEM or equivalent replacements. This ain't your fathers oldsmobile, so steer clear of the parts store for most needs. She is picky about the quality standards on several parts. If you have doubts.. the search button can usually get you an answer fast.. or post up and someone will get with you eventually.

Enjoy the car!

Welcome to the forum.
As mentioned in the previous post our member here (Rob) has a company where we can get several replacement parts with no worry about quality and fit.

www.needswings.com

Enjoy the mile ahead

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I bought my 2005 Blue CROSSFIRE
Limited Roadster 4 years ago.The car is an automatic, which I drive like a stick.I also started doing car shows in June, doing 11 so far along with many Friday and Saturday night cruises. My Roadster is all stock, just purchased illuminated wind restrictor. O also want to add caliper covers. I have seen red, black, and silver ones, I would prefer blue, matching the car's color. Anyone had luck in purchasing color covers?

Yes, I purchased some last year because of the amount of brake dust. You can special order them in any color you want, I got them in Viper blue which is pretty much a royal blue, and if I remember correctly, I got them through Carid.com. I've since put on hyper ceramix pads and eliminated the dust but kept the covers since I liked the way they look and so do the judges at the car shows.
