Inspired by bluBox, I recently got some pinstriping done. Just wondering what the rest of you have.

nice. when i bought my BSP xB it came with silver pinstripes like that down the sides. i didnt like them too much so i took them off and replaced them with some silver flame pinstripes. i have a digi cam but my cokmputer runs windows 95 so i cant transfer yet. when i get them i will post pics.

Dude, that is one of the cleanest xB's I've seen!! I'm getting those wheel covers myself. Great job!

Thanks man,
I'm lookin to do something with the stock tails. But, I'm not sure what. I'd like something that ties in with the brushed aluminium and black look. Also, I am dying for fender skirts

LOL. The front of your pinstripe looks exactly the same as the factory pin striping on my '86 SVO. :lol:

Looks good though. The body lines of the box seem to look natural with the pinstripe...something most cars can't pull off without looking odd. I'm definately liking the moon caps on the box too. The whole car looks great! :)

I ordered a similar grill set and moon caps for my TCM last week. Your pics gave me an better idea of how everything will look...very nice. I'll be clearing the headlights though to clean up the front end more. I'm also thinking of adding a Bb emblem to the main grill for a little detail.

Very nice box. :D

Hot damn, I've been meaning to get that done. How much does something like that run? Is it something I could just do myself?

You might be able to DIY. They sell the stuff at autozone or any place like it. I left it to a pro. And, it cost me $40. Usually, your local body shop can do it. Careful though, it's kinda like tattoos. Once you get one, you start wanting more.

40 isn't too bad at all... I'll look into it.

I saw that the dealer in Catonsville, MD had pin stripes on nearly every car on the lot...even the used ones!!!

Well, it does break up all that solid paint, not sure if I really liike it but drive on! Customized away!

Not sure if this will work here is a link to my photo's I cannot seem to get these photo's into scionlife gallery for some reason I am not authorized? My box has been custom pinstriped by a Nor-Cal local James Race It is all freehand paint with a brush and one-off look at the hood carefully and you will see what looks like a tiki dude on the left side of the rear hatch is a small tooned box

^^^Very, very, very nice!^^^

I've seen Tom's xB numerous times, and everytime I just have to look at the pinstriping again, and again, and again.
