Default Pics of My Box.... with a Stripe!

Here is my mildly modded Box with:
Cleared out headlights
Custom cut stripe
TYC Tails
Enkei PKRs
Painted grill, foglight knock-outs & trim piece over rear license plate
Magnaflow exhaust by Stylis at Precision Muffler in Milpitas
Carbon fiber door pillars & fuel door
MATTBOX plates
The crappy eBay carbon fiber rear spoiler's clearcoat started to get all cloudy... so I "rattle-canned" it black.... I am looking for something to replace it.

i like the black on silver, that stripe finishes it off though...i think a drop would look pretty hot on that...all in all nice touch, subtle but still mean

Like the strip. It looks like you are tippy toeing with those tall springs tho. Drop that sucker already.

I'll bet they are 15s (in one of the pics the tire size is 185/60R15)... :D

Good clean looking box - really like the stripe.

Thanks everybody for the nice compliments! Good detective work Tomas.... you are right about the wheels being 15s. I almost went with wheels that have a gunmetal finish... but the black stands out better. I think the way the polished lip is only on the outside edge is what makes them look a little bigger. I am trying to keep the box clean looking by not having too much stuff stuck to it. My next mod will probably be a drop and some factory fogs to replace the black foglight knock-outs.

I would have gone with gunmetal wheels--but the black looks good as well.

Looks good everyone has there own ideas and different is what looks good and gets attension if everyone moded there box the same way? You would be going down the road and say oh- there goes tom' then 3 minutes later oh there goes tom again and we wouldn't want that. so keep a good imagination.

Defintely likd the stripe and wheels! We have pretty similar boxes i just went really small gray and red pin stripes all the way around instead of the big stripe. I also have the gunmetal wheels too! Love it though keep it up!!!!!

Very nice - gotta love that "old school" effect of that stripe! And its wide enough to really fit the billboard sides of the Box perfectly!
As mentioned, it'd look even better with a drop, and personally, I'd lose the CF gas door; to my eye, it breaks up the TCM too much along the side, kind of "fighting" with the flow of the stripe.
Good looking Box, though!

That is one gorgeous box!! Nice pics....

Now I have to ask you...because it's been killing me: WHERE DID YOU GET THE CF STYLE BRA???? I have looked everywhere, and can't find it!! And how much did you pay??

Thank you.
