So one year after purchasing Xena, I have completed the Exterior mods I wanted to do to her. I've always wanted an all black look on her, and I couldn't be happier with how she's turned out.
Before (her first wash)
And after....
The "mods" are, tinted windows, performance black kidney grills, refurbished alloys to gloss black, new tires (Non-Runflat), and a paint restoration. I know it might not be everyone's up of tea, but I love the way she looks so mean...
Next month I am starting on the interior.

Exterior Transformation Complete
Re: Exterior Transformation Complete
It's all about personal taste.
My only problem with all black is that it hides detail. If everything is black it just looks like a shadow )
My X3 is black. I'd think about anthracite wheels but not black.
Are you keeping the chrome trim or fitting shadowline?

Re: Exterior Transformation Complete
To be honest I hadn't considered doing anything to the chrome trim. As a matter of fact I wasn't even aware of shadowline. I might have to do some digging and some photoshoping to see what it would look like.
