Dont do it! I think it will make your car look silly. Why not try a two tone paint job instead of the stripes. Just my 2cents.

JMHO but dont do stripes.

Get a black graphic on the sides or something. Racing stripes are for race cars. lol

Let us know what you do I'd like to see it.

My husband wants tribal flames on his like the hot wheel xB.

Personally, I think it would look really good. I've seen photos on here of a BCP xB with two wide silver racing stripes down the middle, and I think it looks cool. I always thought the xB had a very "British" look to it anyways. I told my wife that I think her Solar Yellow xB would look cool with the stripes done in royal blue. Those two colors look awesome together. Your best bet is to play around with photoshop and see if you like it.

The stripes on that one are a little further apart than I would do. I like the width of the stripes, I'd just move them an inch or two closer together.

Matt-

is this the one?:

this is Hawaiinbilt's xB and it's one of the niceset boxes you'll see.

as to the stripes, I think they'd look great IF the overall composition is considered... hence the stance, the wheels, the fogs, etc. of Hawaiinbuilt's compared to the example that Dwestxb gave... who farted, right?
of course, Dwestxb's ride is completely unique and original and very sweet and you, too can have something all your own. just give Randode a call and turn him loose on some graphics - everything that guy touches turns to gold.
