I had a unique opportunity to do a photoshoot with some friends at the local airfield. A friend of a friend of mine runs a mosquito control business and has a fleet of choppers and a hangar he stores them in so we headded over there for some pics.

I'll start with pics of my xB for now. I'll probably post up some pics of my friends cars later.

As usuall, the server I am using is a little slow. I don't see all the pics yet so if you don't either, just give it some time.... lol

oh mannnn!!!
your BCP is sooo shinny!!
how do you keep that spotless shine?!!!
once again, verry nice pix!!!!
and the wheels look tight!!!

 

[ctruss]

Thanks for the deal on the wheels Sid.

I wash my car religiously every weekend. I wax it every other time I wash it, and I clay bar it once every other month.

The pics show off the shine, but they hide things as well. There are several rock chipps on the front end. And my paint job on my tail lights really does suck..... lol

Thanks though for the compliments.

Look very good! I love how those wheels fit in the fenders.

It's a Webasto brand power canvas roof. Don't let the installer talk you out of it.

This roof is of the highest quality. It's isn't just a thin canvas roof like some of the cheaper, larger roofs. This thing is full power and has a couple layers of insulation to keep the noise and the weather out. It has a great warranty as well. It looks great as well and goes well with the headliner on the inside, it looks factory.

Here are some more pics of the sunroof.

It was about $1200 installed.

where did you get the side view mirror block off plates? custom?

 

[ctruss]

I made them.

I just looked in the yellow pages for a local plastics place. They had a scrap bin and I got a 3'x5' piece of textured black plastic for about $10 and made them out of that. They are attatched with 3M double-sided tape.

Lookin' good!
