+1. Quite fortuitous that they screwed up on the side skirt to give you the option of choosing the preferred version. Probably doesn't make up for all the other aggravation, though. Have fun!

Looks much better. Car went on a diet and lost the love handles.

I think the design of the body is much cleaner and nicer without them. Did you have an option to remove them entirely?

I did, but I actually really like the way they look in black. I'd much rather have them in black than not at all.

I agree. Looks better with them, and definitely better in black.
Body colored ones make the car look like a pregnant guppy.


You might consider getting the front corner splitter blades replaced, painted black, or go Carbon Fiber... on each side of the center Splitter. IMHO, they are part of the whole "ground effects" package.

Definetly like black on light color, probably not as important on dark colors.

Looking good. Now time to get it lowered and do a custom wrap

Very nicely done and I hope your experience after delivery is far more enjoyable than what you went through to get it!

Ever hear what happened to the original car? I assume your dealer will eventually take delivery and place it in stock.

I'm definitely considering a drop. The ground clearance is quite good for how low this car is, and I think I could get away with another half inch or so no problem.

Actually Jaguar of Naples will be taking the car as we traded with them. As of right now they still haven't received the car according to their inventory.

What I consider a mandatory garage pic. These two cars are polar opposites aside from both being AWD. I have realized I need a bigger garage.

Got some gifts from my dealer today. A shirt I'll never wear, a key chain I'll never use, a hat I'll never put on and a really really nice coffee mug. Too bad I don't drink coffee

Look at how in that last picture,the body sweeps up so beautifully around the tire towards the rear of the door in black whereas in white,well...it'd look like a beached whale.

Totally ruined the look and purported "heft" of the car making it in my estimation,bloated. Cannot believe Callum signed off on it...good job on doing the mods right,car looks killer.

Stohlen, that really looks good. I'm just wondering if it wouldn't just be easier to remove the sills entirely. That high off the ground, they certainly have no aerodynamic functionality.

I really like the way they look personally. I've always been a big fan of white with black accents. I do plan on lowering the car once AWD modifications become available.

I know, hard to believe, but it'll look and handle even better.
