Bought an extra set of headlights for a special project. Should be ready in a few weeks. Purchased the lights on ebay for $200. Top of lens covers were ruined with small scratches and clouding, but a local restoration service made them look like new again. Very cool.

ANSWER... Custom collar fabrication from aircraft grade aluminum.

Compliments to Scott Brothers of Aquacut Engineering for his vision and expertise

in designing and fabricating these one-of-a-kind collars. Thanks bro!

Asanti AF122's fresh out of the box!

Excellent detail and workmanship, however, a nightmare to clean and inflate!

It's always difficult to resist the temptation to add something new!

GTA87's 2005 Chrysler CrossfireGTA87's 2005 Chrysler Crossfire


Interior, as displayed, is factory, no enhancments. Interior items will undergo some changes to the dash with an aluminum fiber application, silver trim rings for the AC controls and a new shift knob. Not sure which one I should go with, though.

I've decided on a shift knob. I chose it because of the chrome and red stitched leather matches the interior. You can also see the Aluminum Fiber Dash which was applied at the same time.

Some shots of the chrome upper grille. A vast difference in appearance from the stock gray and silver.

This shot shows replacement of the stock, black antenna with an aluminum adjustable height model and the stock roll bars have been replaced with a beefier chrome version.

Here is a recently installed rear diffusor. They're difficult to see, but they are on either side of the exhaust. They add a finished look to the underside and also provide better air flow at higher speeds.

The above shot on the left shows a custom plate I had made for the Crossfire. The view on the right is just a little reflection.

Left view displays chrome side fins. Right view displays chrome door handle insert.

Added chrome trim around the windshield and chrome post door locks with aluminum trim rings. A subtle change, but nice.

So far, the engine is strictly stock. A bit of advice if you're thinking of upgrading your performance. Buy it from the factory! I could have had the supercharged version and another 115HP for only an additional $3,000. Now it would cost me about $20,000. to do the same thing! Performance upgrades after-the-fact are outrageous, that's even if you can find anything for these cars.

Floor matts with stainless steel, diamond cut wear plate trimed in red. These shots were taken before the shift knob and aluminum fiber dash update.

 

Stock roll bars have been powder coated in a clear metallic black, but decided to keep the chrome.

No not yet. We went to the dealer and decided to look around and I saw the new Audi S5. I fell in love with it. I'm going to wait until the summer so I can furnish it with some good rims.
