Default ..A new XB look...."FULL MOONS"

A fun box is more fun with MODS.
I have EVOLVED and I have a new look that I have not seen before.
I love moonlight, it is pure light, no heat rays, no radiation, just pure light.
This year's snow moon has inspired this new MOD that I will call FULL MOONS!! (Looks better by moonlight)




You might also notice a unique MOD I have now. When I had 28 parts painted,
I did the windshield washer nozzels as well as the interior parts and that fat front lip.
There is a black gasket between the hood and the washer nozzel that I did not know about.
They work fine and look better. Anyway, what do you think of my box with 90,000 on it? Comments, questions or opinions welcome.

Default ......Every 28 days there is a FULL MOON....

Guys, Don't give up on your TC's, they are good touring coupes.

EZ... I am droped on H-Tech's. I dare not go any lower. I got fat tires to fill my wheel gap.
I think you may have seen too many radically droped boxes. Mere H-Tech's don't even regester as a drop anymore.
I like your box of tricks, E-Z, and I may go for one of your products.
Thanks......

Nice! That's a really clean look.

If I had gotten the steel discs, I'd probably have painted them by now. However, I sprung for the aluminum Moon brand (which look great, but are fairly fragile).

Due to some mild curb rash on one of them (beats getting sideswiped), I'm really considering sanding the clearcoat off of my Moon discs, and polishing them. It'll take some bravery on my part, but I think the results would be worth it.

Default .....Full Moons...

Hey ....JAM,
I thought that I might hear from you in this thread.
These are the aluminum MOON disks. I have two sets of these. One set was from J.C.Whittney.
BLUE MOONs might look good on your ride.

Gotcha, I figured they were the steel ones, because of how they're shaped. I got mine from Mooneyes (mooneyesusa.com). They have a smoother shape to the outer edge, with a tiny Moon logo stamped where the gap in the clips for the valve stem is, as well as more of a peaked shape. They're also relatively expensive, but fake hot rod street cred is important!

Blue might be over the top on my car. White on white (obviously) looks good, and I think black on black would be excellent as well.

awesome I love it, how did you go about painting them though, or do they come like that ? Much better than simple stainless.

Default ...Polar White is allright....

RicheeCombo... I had these aluminum moon disks painted polar white when I had 30 parts painted to match. I had 8 moon disks so now 1 set is white. I also had my stock hubcaps painted polar white and they came out great. Like candy, smooth and good looking.
Look for (search google) 'Racing Disk' hubcaps, see hubcap mike.com or JC Whitney.
Less than $100 before painting.
I would love to see any variation.
Here are the OEM hubcaps painted Polar White:

I did the stock caps white years ago with Fusion Krylon and now am running the MoonEyes Stainless Racing Disks which look great even though there is no chrome or stainless on the stock xB. The Stainless clean a whole lot easier than the stock mag caps, man oh man I got so tired of cleaning those 9 spokes.

I really liked the stainless moons I had on Vanilla in 2005, but they turned out to be too easy to damage, so I went to the 5 spoke alloys she wears now. (I still like the moon look a little better.)
