Default Photoshopping mini'esque racing stripes onto an XB

Has anyone tried that ? I have a camo XB but any color would suffice.

Thanks for the compliment bro. Nah, mine stop at the hood (which is why I showed the back of mine, it looks better! ). I didn't do 'em, but that's a really long story. They'll probably change soon anyway.

*edit* yeah, I'm a moron who needs to answer the question here. Both mine and Rodney's are vinyl. I know mine are 3M and are stuck down like they're welded there. Don't know the branding on Rodney's, but you could always drop him a line if it interests you. *edit*

Here's the front with the Putco billet grilles that I run around with:



IMO, Rodney has one of the best xBs anywhere. It's really clean and tastefully done. The really cool thing is that he's a good guy too, not some jerkoff. Here's his back:

Haha, thanks bro!

I'm getting this question a lot, so I might as well post the info up for all those who are interested.

The outline decal is an original done by Darryl from ScinergyIE in California. To my understanding, it can be done in any color you want. I bought some in various sizes for our dealership in silver and white too. Roy has a small one in silver on his BCP:



Here's Darryl's profile:

And here's the profile for George who cuts them:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/pro...profile&u=6361

I put it on myself and it wasn't difficult. It has held up really well too (despite washing and the rear wiper).

Anyone interested can contact either Darryl or George and they'll hook you up. Tell 'em Alex sent ya!
