I have an XLB and am thinking about ordering a clear body for it. But I am wanting to go with a body of a lighter/white color and the only wing made for it is black.
Any ideas on how I could paint up a nice lookin body for it and not have the black wing look out of place?
Any good photoshoppers?

I'm not a very good Photoshopper, but... if you did some kinda scheme where the back of the body was black, I think that the black wing would make sense.

Would a wing from another buggy be suitable? It definitely could increase paint design/colour possibilities for the shell. Just a thought.

That's pretty darn cool blind. I was thinking about that as well, but your pic looks pretty cool.
No other wings "fit". I could make an 1/8 work but it looks like a fat lady wearing a size 6 shoe. LOL Just not right!

I think black wings are cool... especially with black wheels. QD, visualize other color combos, too... it's easy to mentally swap colors in and out with a simple design.

I don't like the black wheels at all. They just aren't flashy enough for me. I am going to mount up some stock size Maxx wheels with some bling. LOL
