I thought when you said you blacked out your bonnet ... you were going to do your entire bonnet in black.

Got to admit that although I'm not into stripes.. the black on yellow is VERY striking. I think that its an exception to the rule.. very nice!

Rapid and Black stripes would have to be the Best colour / stripe combination i have ever seen! I seen an XR8 Mark II with the Factory 18s and the stripe kit the other day and yes i was in love! Very nice mate

Did somebody mention a shaker ??? This is the machine that i took down to Wakefield raceway last August...its not mine but i was the one that had to drive it from the dealership ( Port Macquarie ) to Wakefield and back, and look after its needs while at the track with also a XR6 and a XR6 T. We do this every 6 months as a promotion from the Ford Dealership...im just wrapped to be a part of it for the past year and a half, were going again in March....and i can finally now take the XB this time......she's ready for the track at last....weeeeeeeeeee. But i have video footage of myself driveing this awesome beast around Wakefield, if you want it please email me and i will send it to you, just make sure your email box can take 7 mb's.

I'm thinking of blacking mine now but do they look out of place without any stripes? I don't want to go the stripes option.

Always a good look Philbie, but I thought you meant full blackout. Now for that canopy...
