Default Boring Polar-Update

I need help picking out something to go on my XB, earlier I was thinking Flames or Mystery Machine (half-cocked idea) but the people below have fixed that. I just need to have help deciding, I have some drawings and would post them, but I am apperantly a moron, because I cannot figure it out, how do you do it? I am lost in this big world. so would you help me decide, and/or help me post my pics. or give me Ideas?

They both sound dumb. Either have the flames painted on or don't do anything. Scooby Doo? Are you 8 years old?

COLD! I want to get it painted, the vinyls are just a Temp, and they are free, I agree with the Mystery Machine being dumb, when I think about it though Mr. SuperCrunchyAction, so I am sorry that I waisted your time. but How about the flames, What colors? normal orange red and yellow is boring. I was thinking Black and Silver would be best because I would like to keep my car black, white and silver/Chrome, But you people know better thane me. And hey, NO personal jabs from people. take jabs at what I say, not at me.

Not to offend you or anything, but this is a good aplce to come for opinons; because those are both lacking in taste. I agree with you on the basis that the car is slow, therefore the flames 'should be coming from the bottom' or what not, but i still woulndt do it - simply because it would look bad. However, its your time / money, so do what you will with it; more power to you, good luck.

I am working on some other Ideas now, if you have any brilliant ones, let me know, paint or vinyl. Thank you but see I have drawings of what it DOES look like, but I am an idiot and do not know how to post them. You guys are awsome, thank you again for the constructive criticisim.

yes, they would, is their website just housofkolor.com? or is it different? or do they even have one, I would like to look at them. I wish you werent so far away, I'd go to you, just for reference, how much would it cost to do a two tone or a flame job?

Do something up in red/white/blue, make it look like a mail truck with some horizontal colors...or with red and blue colored circles it'd look like a Wonder Bread truck...balloons would give it the "clown car" look that people are so fond of calling them...

But seriously, I wouldn't go with flames. Those usually imply that the car is fast, which a stock xB certainly is not. If you're stuck on flames, go with ghost flames or something like that. Agree that the orange/yellow flames wouldn't look all that good. Something darker, maybe to match the interior, along the lines of the black/gray/silver like you mentioned might work...again, in ghost style, not full on flames...

But hey, it's your car...whatever floats your boat...

the flames would be coming from the bottom, not from the front, because the car is NOT fast.

I have a PW xB and I look at it like an empty canvas to paint on. Just remember that the reason we bought these boxes is because we want to be diferent and express our style. Don't let others influance you on what to do. Ideas are great but remember to do your own thing. I am in the process of doing that and cannot wait for the end result. Everyone here will be the first to see it when done.

I will be doing some exterior decoration on my Polar White xB, but my main problem is not deciding on a pattern or look, but finding someone local who can work with reflective overlays...

The PW xB is elegant in it's simplicity, and what I will be adding to mine will stay with the simple, clean theme. My *other* car is the rice rocket...

Whatever design you do, use GRAPHICS....In case you ever want to change the design later on or sell it, all you do is remove it..

Vinyl belongs on your house not on your car.
