Carry the vinyl all the way down the back to the license plate area and it would look great..

What Said except Since you've already done the windshield surround do the C pillars all the way back till it flattens and curve it to the tail. When I get a chance I'll photoshop it for you.

Edit: Otherwise, take it off the windshield surround. It just seems out of place when it suddenly turns white again after going up the windshield.

I was thinking about doing the side pillars white to match the car...?

I like what you have done, and I THINK I like his ^^^^^^^^^^^ suggestion.


BUT, I don't like the rims. Looks out of place to me - just my 2 cents. But I DO like the roof!

I agree with you, I would also say do the side pillars in white. I myself like the look of the black rims. I think once the pillars are painted they will go very well with the colorer layout of your XFire

I would say the roof looks good black but I think you should have put the black farther out on the sides, idk what the little strips are on the sides of our roofs but I think you should have covered that. if you look at the back picture, I think the window should match the black in width

I knew if I waited long enough, vinyle tops would make a comeback.

Painting the side pillars would make it look better, and I agree with Voyager.

I'd suggest painting the hood latch support black.

Pizza, I think "black rims" is simply a generation thing. Custom rim styles come and go, sometimes with the seasons.
Remember, Chrome reverse, Baby Moons, Crager SS, Magnum 500's, ET's, Astros, American Mags? They all had their own "15 minutes".

Eikon~ I love the variegated license plate area best, but all of it looks really cool! Good work on a wonderfully creative difference.

After seeing yours, I'm definitely going with the red tail-light tint. That looks mint, very Euro.

You going to put a euro plate on the front too, poser LOL

J/K John I am sure it will look good, I just never liked the fact that the only red on the car is the rear corner lenses and the taillights, well except mine
