| Posted: 5/18/07 7:31AM Post subject: 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. |
