Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Fubu did it the correct way, do it incorrectly and the value drops like a brick.
Let's see some real pictures, doors, hood open etc. then we can say great job or not.

- You DRIVE it.
- You take care of it (one owner or one long-time owner cars are way more reliable)
I'm not a fan of the all black wheels and I THINK I agree that the stakes and door handles should be black - but again, this shows just how good yellow COULD have been, had D/C not been so obsessed with "weak" colors. (Aero Blue? SSB? That weak yellow? What was their problem?)

The reasons you have had no issues are:

I also agree with comments by ala_xfire & pizzaguy that the door handles & strakes would really "pop" on this car if they were black. I might also have painted the front grills (definitely the lowers; maybe the main) black also. This would tie in to the black rims. MHO
But I must say seeing the door jams, underhood & undertrunk all painted to match makes the job top notch looking. The yellow itself doesn't "knock my socks off" but the car is a statement in and by itself and that makes it a winner in my book!
