I was thinking about this... if you're going to put portholes in your XFire, the only way to go is to use genuine portholes. I don't know where you'd get them, but I would ask around at a shipyard or boat builder. I'm sure they can give you the name of a good supplier.

Hmmm .... your best bet is to check with the Italian Navy surplus stores .... I've heard that they used portholes in their submarine fleet and have quite a few left, along with their submarine screen doors .........

Please don't flame me, I love Italians .......

Best thread in weeks. Might I sugest that you do the work yourself, with the money saved rent some 24" rims and tires. Use the above described saw to cut the fenders if there happens to be any fender rub. color in any imperfections with listed sharpie... See you at the Dragon

Should have named him Sue! What kind of saw did you use to cut the holes in your fenders? Your portholes look really good. I want to do almost the same thing, but I think i bit higher up.

Tim, Nice to see another Aero Blue driver! Have you used a Sharpe for paint touch up? How was the match?

Actually I do use the Blue Sharpie to cover the slight marks, nothing big. It appears to be waterproof and so far has held up.

Barbie first showed up on the now closed Woodward thread, he/she is from the Impala crowd, just yanking your chain. See the posts.

Hi Ladies! Dropped my crossie off at the shop today!

The owner Javier was hitting in me the whole time and told me he would do it for $400! I'm so excited to pick it up Friday!

Also for anyone else reading Javier recommends against using sharpie pens to touch up the paint. He says they make some stuff that goes on just like nail polish and lasts a lot longer.

I'll post pics when I get it back!
