i really like the arch design, the only thing i would suggest is maybe take off the words, and get them made a bit smaller and put them lower. btw love the ride. what window shades are those? look nice.

I agree with Scot (HerrBlak), Love the Arch design but do some thing with the words. Maybe remove the St. Louis name, since the cityscape tells that, and make Scikotics smaller and place it in the Arch. Looks Good!

Thanks. I think those vent shades are almost a must with the look it gives. On your car I'd probably paint them to match. Gives it that "chopped" effect. :)

Thanks for the compliments all!

I'll keep it for now but thinking about redoing it next year sometime. Same principle but different design. ;)

Vinyl started pealing so it is gone! Back to the fresh and clean look! 8)


I have df210's and 19x8 wheels 235/35/19. Don't rub, scrape on things every now and then, large speed bumps and dips. A different story if there's 4 adults in the car, then I scrape more and the rear tires rub a bit on bumps.

Really nice ride. Sucks that you had to take the vinyl off. Silver is just really thin compared to black vinyl though. I also had silver and had to take it off in a couple of months because of peeling.

The A and B pillar vinyl is entirely optional with a dark colored xB2 (especially the A pillar). Take a look at photos of other cars and draw your own conclusions.

That's not the vinyl I was referring to. :lol: but I do think removing it from the A pillar on light colored vehicles looks kewl! :up:

I voted for removal... Just a cleaner look without it. :up:

My thoughts as well...now that I have it off I can't decide if I want to do a few small decals in white at an angle down one side of the rear window? Need some "Scikotic's" tags somewhere for sure. ;)

If we only had a small pane window like on the first gens it would be a no brainer!


:pokey: Owe, quit it!
