try here, pic is a ways down but there's one with what you are looking for. I've seen this up close and it's very nice. I suggest it if you have a PW. Be aware that it does look 'cutoff' because of that small window in the back..

no problem

you could try something i saw on a different site.. (looking for it now) where they either replaced the window with something and painted it or put an overlay on it.. white out the window..

umm.. ah here it is, shoot, kinda bad pic but i think you can get what i'm talking about..

http://www.pond.co.jp/b.html

the first pic is missing when i view that page and the second pic is at a weird angle but if you look at hte back window they have some kind of emblem thing there.. note that they still have the black frame on.. it would look choice if you did both the window and frame.. maybe the black part where the side mirror meets the door too..

If the windows weren't tinted, I would probably take it off on a light colored car. but with the window tint and the dark color of my box, I think it "needs" to be there to keep the flow of the black of the windows

Thanks guys. I think it looks better black on the PW. Its the back window that screws it up. My buddy did it on his grey one and another friend did it on his blue and they look sick. It doesn't seem to flow as well on the white.

yeah, doesn't look good with no black on the pillars...I am going to 5% all my windows except for my windshield...it's very illegal, but u can do stuff like that when you have a neighbor thats a cop :-) it gives it that one big long continuous window look. I think on white xBs its all about contrast...seems like when u have a dark one, it looks good when EVERYTHING is dark...but thats just my opinion...oh, and that back window thing, I hope I speak for most everyone else by saying thats a big NEGATIVE
