Very nice, I was going that direction at one time but switched it up. You really pulled it off well.

Where did you get those center caps? Also, is there any special care required for the flat paintjob? I love the look of flat black on an xB.

I bought the center caps from hubcap mikes online.

The only care for that flat black paint job is that I have to wash it all the time! Anytime someone touches it it leaves a hand print.hard to keep clean!

Thanks for the info. LOVE your ride! I've always liked the ratrod style and the xB pulls it off nicely.

Which xB1 springs are you on? stock or lowering springs?

I am interested to see what this would be like - since I am on the fence between coils and air. I have KSport GT's but they come off easy if the xb1 springs will get me slammed.
