so im thinking about adding some graphics to the XB

i was thinking about doing this



it would run on the bottom of the doors between the fenders and im think it will go up to the door handles or maybe i might just even it out at the top of the fenders

what does everybody think about it?

**this is a low res sample**

nobody has anything to say?

Too much for my taste. But if I were going to do this, I'd make it more of a shadow. So if you were far enough away, you'd barely be able to see it. Do you know who can do that for you? If not, I may be able to help you out. PEACE!!!

Kustom_Play: Very nice. I would definitly go with a shadowed look, but that design would definitly catch my atttention on the road.

What if you put just one tower on one side of the hatch. Simple, not over done with a little bit of flavor.... juss sayin .... cool idea.

kustom_play

so you think i should just black everything out then?

yea i was thinking about doing something on the back of the hatch but i wanted something to run along the bottom and i figured since the cars from japan and all why not use some temples

i'll shadow them out and post up it up so people can take a look at it

anybody who doesnt like it dont be afride to post up

just dont be i dont like it tell me a reason

thanks

lemme try and photoshop this for you, i got some spare time

MacMaster

alright here it is,

this is assuming that you want a black shadow on the green paint of the car.
In my opinion it doesnt look that great because of the conflicting angles of the roofs of the buildings. But thats up to you to decide. One is with an 80% opacity, the other is more of a shadow at a 40% opacity. I like the 40 alot better, what do the rest of ya'lls think?

^^^^

good job. Looks pretty cool.
Lets see one on just one side of the hatch...... or is that a tall order? I know nothing of what it takes to photoshop this type of stuff.

MacMaster

what do you mean, like next to the license plate on the back?

mattxb

Yea. on either side or both.... could be a bust. Just an idea.

MacMaster

aight, trying it now

MacMaster

here it is




still not a fan of this either

MacMaster

dual posting stupid thing

kustom_play

ya that 40 percent is looking tight

it almost looks like its reflecting off the car

but now could a shop do that up?

MacMaster

i'm thinking massively expensive but probably, and it would have to be really thin vinyl or whatever so it would be really delicate, and chipping of it could be a big problem, thats my 2 cents

kustom_play

yea i dont think im feeling the back on this one

mattxb

hmmm..... I was thinking of a debaged "xB" and the tower going the full lenght... bumper to glass. That would probably look corny as well. Oh well. Just a though.
Thanks for entertaining it.
