Well i was Target last night and they were ALREADY selling christmas decorations. So i thought how cool would it be to decorate my xb with a christmas theme. I was wonderin if any one else is planning on doing this or has done this in years past. I've seen some realy creative things done on here and would love to see what people would do with a christmas theme for the holiday season. Post pics and i'm not limiting this to just xb's or the interrior either!

 

You know, I posted about getting my xb soon on another forum. and since i have the red rota gt3's... someone said that my car looks like a rolling christmas decoration or something. all i would have to do is put a wreath on the grill or something. lol, funny idea, but i doubt i would REALLY do it.


maybe interior christmas lights, thatd be funny.

 

Never thought about it, but now that you mention it. On the other hand it gets enough attention and I wouldn't want to start attracting the wrong attention to it. I might end up with a horror story such as the people on the "Are xB's being targeted" post.

 

I have to get through Halloween first. Thought it might be the November contest to dress your xB up for the big night.

 

Hey is there gonna be a haloween contest?

 

yeah i know it's early but i just wanted to raise the topic and get people intrested in it i already got lights and a tree and a bunch of other little things i plan to put in it. i'm going to wait bout another month myself anyway before decorating.

 

i was thinking a short strand around the top and hold it on with short strips of vynil, i just have to find a way to keep the lights from scratching the roof as i drive. Maybee the grill too


I work at target and it is crazy how many lights we have and how soon they went on the shelves. About the second week of october.

 

I'm thinking of mounting a sleigh on top of the box - temporarily for the holidays.

 

does anyone know what would be legal in MD i want to put lights around the top, white or colors. The interior lights would only be on when stopped.

also id anyone knows a 12volt source near the rear hatch that would make my day ( trying to wire a second horn(AIR HORN) and need a 12 volt source

Thanks

i say, get some tiny reindeer clings, and cover the car with it, then tie a huge ribbon around it. its like a big present!

 

I use to hang multi colored lights in the inside of my vw bus each season.
I got pulled over once in 10 years of doing it. The cop said he thought I was an ambulance going hot to a call I was going about 35 in a 40.
I didn't get a ticket, but I was told the law is no red or blue lights on a non emergency vehicle.
I left them the same and turned them off in his town.

I made my own light sets from the 12volt replacement bulbs in the Christmas section at wally world, and any parallel light set. The 10 light sets are usually parallel. like the ones with plastic snowmen or what ever. Switch out the bulbs and take off the plug and replace it with a male cig plug.

 

Target has white rope light im thinking of getting some and outlineing the top and maybe the bottom, Now i need a place to hide the inverter near the rear hatch, ANY IDEAS?

 

i got a power converter and it fits perfectly in the compartment under the air *****. for tree i'm gonna put in the back i'm just gonna get a string of lights thats runs on a battery pack. maybe stockings hanging on the hooks in the trunk and on the back of the front seat too. i'm also thinnking of a little village scene on the ledge above the glove compartment.

 

I think that would be cool.

 

sound good to me.

 

All right i started to work on my car today and got a couple things done like garland around the roof. i also have one of those vip tables now so something will for sure go on it. i'll post some pic in a couple of days when i have a bit more done.

 

don't you think its a bit early?

 

i know but i had the day off and i was bored. i'm not gonna do the bulk of the stuff until after thanksgiving.

 

Wow -- your gonna have to post some pic's after your all done dressing it up.
Be carefull of the rubber necker's out there, they can barely drive right when
they see a stock box, let alone a rolling christmas tree. Have fun - I'll be waiting

 

Its as simple as just wraping up as a great big Xmas package with a bow on top

less u can have Rodolph leading it
