I love powdercoating.. I think you need a wider rim on the rears to really get the big 295's to look prefect.

looks awesome, the paint and pin stripes really set it off, as with all XFs, I do not like the silver accents, especiually on this car, but overall, looks killer. Do you have a guy around Indiana that does good powdercoating? I would like to have some wheels done as well, let me know.

Paint the strakes and door handles, put smoke tints on the lights, and swap out the amber turn indicators for some clear ones and the look is complete.

HAHA the clear corners are like unicorns or bigfoot LOL.

If you keep after them, you can probably locate a set, or you can do like I did and just smoke all the lenses (including the amber ones) looks great on dark cars and a lot cheaper. Check out my gallery.

Very nice!

I would keep the orange side markers, since they'd match your pinstripe . Speaking of pinstriping, did you get yours done at a shop or do it yourself? It makes a really nice accent.

Wheels look great, too. Could you get a shot from the rear of the car so we can see how wide the tires appear on the car?

There is a guy locally by the name of Mike Ralston. He's a rat rod builder and has done pinstriping for YEARS! Like since the 60's as a kid. I had him come over and do it at the shop. I'll post a pic here in a few of the rear tires and it'll show the pinstriping on the rear as well... it's kinda cool... I'm not sure yet if I like it. Thanks for the compliments though!

Cliff it looks good, glad to see somebody finally do it.
I thought about doing it awhile back, but just doing the hood, and bumper like you did, and the tops of the fenders. Running the contrasting color along the the same body line that you did but stopping at the end of the rear 1/4 window, along with a pinstripe to separate the two colors.

I'd like to see your car in person someday.

IMO, To much work, thought and time put into paint for the black wheels.
Missed it with the wheels.
Polished lip needed. From the artistic side.

Work is never an overstatement, and I'll post more pix when the wheels are done, you'll have to let me know what you think of them. I have chrome rivet inserts coming from MHT/Foose for the inside barrel to set them off.
