So, I just got my car painted flat black and I absolutely love it!! I now keep asking myself all these questions regarding phase 2 of my xB's transformation. Do shiny electric pink rims look stupid with flat black? How low should I go? Should I put the license plate off to the side of leave it in the middle cuz it's cute on honda's but wat about the box? Should I leave the back (hatch) plain or throw on the "bB" emblem? I'm just going for evil, clean, with a hint of girly girl. Is that too much to ask?!

box looks really good, but Im kinda bias :) lol

The brink gloss pick wheels can look really good against the flat black, but as said maybe add some more pink somewhere else as well.
On the hatch I say go ahead and run a bB emblem since you are running one in the front grill. If you plan on changing grills etc then I say leave it clean.

Depending on the rims I would say just put a hint of pink on it. If you are talking about steelies then personally I think it would be too much. But I'm not a fan of pink. If you get a spoke design wheel then you can get them flat black and just do like pink outlines on the edges of the spokes and maybe the lip of the rim. That is just my $.02 on it. Looks great though overall. I would go with the max drop which I think is DF210, correct me if I'm wrong kids, because if you only do small drops you will want more low within a year if your lucky, I wanted more low in a week. I'm not a huge fan of badges either so I say just leave it off. Also if you only did outlines on the rims in pink then I would suggest just doing a pin stripe of pink down the main center body lines.

Pink wheels? Sure, why not. But get a set of knockoff or real 2 or 3 piece wheel. Something with a pronounced lip so you can just do the face in pink and the lip in flat black to match the car. Some companies will make them that way for you if you have the cash. But I am not a fan of one piece wheels that are one solid color. Just my opinion.

As far as how low...is it a daily driver? Plan on showing it? Have cash for airbags? If it's a daily I would go as low as I can without it rubbing. Check the wheel and suspension areas for good setups for that. If you are planning on doing shows, the lower the better. If you want to show I would suggest looking into an airbag setup. Then you can raise it to drive around, then slam it at the show with the flick of a switch. But I think this is how low you should go at shows, and I can't even get close to it.

I love the idea of putting sum pink on the rims and not all pink. Its more subtle and not like "BAM!! HERE I AM YA'LL"!! It is daily driver so I can't go too low. I thought I put that in my initial post.
And NO!! I DO NOT FREEBALL IT UNDER MY SKIRT! Sheesh!
