I didn't realize Lorne did that. I'll have to re-check the Woodward pics.

Yes ... he did it by using black body pin striping and simply stuck it into each spoke. It is a little narrower than the groove in the spoke so if you use a pin striping you need to apply it very straight.

For my first XFire, a 2004 Limited Coupe, I bought a roll of red pin stripe to place on the wheels like shown in black above. I wanted to go with red to match the color of the car. But, i never completed the project before I sold the car. ;(

I hate to say this, I really do. But I've got to give credit where credit is due.

Yep; you're right about that. But Saskins sort of self-destructed, didn't he?

Looks real good! Did you sand, prime and paint? And did you put any Clear Coat over the painted sections?

Thanks,
