Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Welcome to the forum. That is a nice color an the stripes add a certain panache. :) Is that just a reflection on the hood or have you added, venting?

Very sharp! Eye catching color, watch out for the eyes of the good folks with the red & blue lights on their vehicles, LOL. I like your wheels too.

Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Welcome to the forum. That's an "eye popping" color! Certainly a Crossfire that will draw a crowd wherever it sits.

Beats the hell out of the factory yellow, THAT is for SURE.

Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.

Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
^^^ Agreed.
But I'm thinking black on the speed strakes and door handles ? |
Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Looks like you "made it your own". Nice color choice. What color was it originally? Did you paint it the same color under the hood?

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. |
Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Lovely colour, looks great, wheels really set it off.
Have you had it long or are you new to crossfires as well as the forum:) |

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?) |
Re: New to the forum world. Just want to share my xf.
Yea, if you put a motor mount in an N/A, you are not driving it like your grandmother would. :cool:

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! ;) |

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
