Peeled Window Tape and Other Cheap Mods

Well last night after giving the new xB a bath, I finally peeled the window tape. I think it looks better without it. And really looks chopped now.
I gotta get the front windows tinted ASAP.

I also took off the rear wiper and wiper motor. I plugged the hole with a nickle, then noticed that the rear view camera was in the mailbox, so that will be replacing the nickle today.

Then I cut some overlays to cover the nasty warning labels on the visors. The grey that I used is an exact match.

Then since I was cutting vinyl, I made some hatch strut overlays and some engine cover lettering overlays in chrome.

so what do you think? i think its pretty good for almost zero cash, and a couple hours of playing.

That is awesome. I am planning on peeling the tape off mine this weekend. We did it to the 05 and it made it look better also.

Nice!!! Day pics?? I took the tape off on my BOP and it looks sooo much better. Isn't it all one piece now too? And a little thicker?
