Question on the hatch.It may be the lighting but it looks like the wiper hole is shaved but the washer hole is still there, does that seem weird to anyone else?
Also i love ins. they dont care what you do with the money as long as the car is returned to 100% cosmetic and working order. I had my box broken into and they destroyed the center dash. i got a carbon fiber replacement for cheaper than the stock replacement piece and the inspector actually complimented my decision.

What about a hole for the wiper? I know some don't like it and remove it from the stock hatch, but I use mine a few times a week to clean off the hatch window.

Im sorry i still dont understand what someone was thinking there, the shaved wiper is awsome but there is no longer any use for the washer at all. I guess i could understand the other way around... oh well

The parts look awsome cant wait to see some pics of everything installed its gonna look like a whole new box

a flat black would look great. it would be different. i see BSP's all the time and it really gets repetitive. i've seen only one flat black and it was a rally xB in some import magazine. it would look different and that is what would make your car unique

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that car would look good in any color, not so sure about the xB. Then again, I've never really thought about the flat colors other than for rat rods and the Batmobile. It's your car. Why not?
