Yeah you can. I saw a TCM/Orane one that kind of looked retarded. White looks good with pretty much everything though.

I'd get a body kit and do a white/silver 2 tone like on mercedes benz cars.

How about opaque clear flames so you can only see them in a certain light? How much for a two tone? Does anyone know?

the whole point of customizing a car or truck, is to customize it the way YOU WANT IT. So although some of these ideas are cool, you need to decide for yourself.

Personaly a mystery machine paint job would be kinda cool, and get alot of attention @ the car shows. Or you can always paint it to look like the general lee from dukes of hazzard! LOL.

I do think of it as a blank canvas, I have a copy of one of my original drawings on the top in vinyl (only til I can get it painted), But as this is going to be a show car I want to know peoples likes and dislikes before I go off on it.

As a judge all I can say is that it doesn't really matter what you do it's how you do it. As long as everything flows and is unique and clean then for shows you'll be ok. Do what you want to do and just do it right.

Default AN idea !!!!!

I am planning on using 3M reflective pin stripe. Maybe do some thin stripped flames that at night will reflect and KICK A$$. I had reflective flames on my racecar, and the looked awesome at night under the lights!!!

I might just do a 3/4 plain med blue 3M ref stripe down the side and see how it looks. I think simplicity looks the best on these things!!
The pic of the polar XB with the panda kit KICKS !!! Chrome & white RULE !!! Maybe the single reflective stripe would be enough???

MY 2pennies !!!! HOOV

Thank you, I think I will take your advice. I like my pic on the top and I think I will just do a simple two tone on the sides. Thank you for the advice so far, and Keep it coming.

Go here* put your pictures on a server... then take the http from that site
and insert between the [ i m g ] s with no spaces...

*http://photobucket.com/

As for the be an original... this probably isn't an original
idea but I was thinking... of going with racing stripes!!!

Making it look like that small british car... (the one I
looked at before deciding I'd go the Xb route).

Make em think that perhaps you swapped the engine...
waddever... like anybody should care what other people think...
if I did I'd never leave my house.

Good luck with getting the Imging to work... there is a Img button
on the reply page or I think but can be wrong you can just type
it in without the spaces like I used as to prevent it from doing
whatever. eh just noticed i can put those img tags in here...

[img]http.... example[/img]

Ah just saw there was a page two... woops.

The flames didn't come out right from the person that I had make them, so I never put them on, and I took the design off the top because it was fading, wich sucked, I have a new design that I want, I dont want to go through the people that I went through for the first ones, because of the flames and the fading, so first, I need to know what you think, then I need to have someone tell me the best place to go, or about how much it will cost, I want it all black, the line would just be an outline, no center, please help!
