Default Two paint ideas I 'shooped.

Mind you, my chopshop skill just isn't what it used to be.

Two ideas that I wouldn't mind doing to my SUPERBRIGHTULTRAWHITE cube:

A) The lime green racing stripe. A timeless blend of speed, sophistication and blinding color.





B) The Airline. A blue-hued cheatline graces the side of the box, leading into a full frontal nosejob.



Meh? Any comments? (Aside from "Never touch Photoshop again")

sorry neither one flows with the lines of the car. If you are going to do it I think the A pillar needs to be Super White also not black. The white, black and either option you have up do not flow right. Just my .02 on it

Hey! I used to be a shooping pro. I've just lost my touch, that's all.

Eh, I can't really screw with the A-pillar on the stock photo. It'll most likely come off when I get my cube.
Plus I'm sure it'll be much rounder with actual paint.

Eeewww. Don't do either of em.

Straight up Shelby stripes or maybe an offset stripe (i.e. Herbie) could work. Also check out the red, black and white scheme of the custom xB on Scion's website, that is nicely done.

I agree with the above opinion. Double stripe, offset, nose to tail. Almost any color will look great against the white. Even two different color stripes!! Dark grey and blue, orange and black, red and black, black and silver, etc............ You would most definitely have the "one and only". Do it and then post pictures here so we can all see them. You might even start a new box trend...........

actually i digg the nose-job xB2. the offset aka herbie-style is not my cup of tea. maybe if it didnt go to the edge of the hood then i would like it more

hope that helped and good luck with whatever you go through with!

That's what I was trying to do, but again my 'shop skills suck.

They probably wouldn't look as bad if you peeled the A pillar tape. with it there it just seems kind of painful to look at.
