I had my body shop paint mine for me. I have a Silver xB. Painted it a high gloss black. Had them fill the holes in from the front tag bracket then paint it. I'll get a pic up of it hopefully tomorrow for you.

Hey! That's my car.

I used a flat black vinyl. I used a glossy black vinyl originally but it didn't flow well with the car.

Has anyone considered blacking out the flat part of the hood near the cowl? Can someone do a photoshop?

That's a really good idea. Makes the entire front end look better.

Anyone know how much one should expect for this piece?

Yes, as a matter of fact he has the template for it so he can cut it anytime. Log on to:

www.syntheticdesigns.com and ask for Angel. Let him know you're calling about the black out vinyl on Ned's xB. GL.

Call Angel since it takes him a couple of days to respond to his emails.
