Thanks but no thanks Dave. If you read carefully you will see that my car is silver, Spidi's car is the white one. I paid my GTR spoiler $350. Installing the wing and painting part of hatch will cost me $350. At $700, I'm far from $3200 not installed. I'm sure you'll have no problem selling it on ebay to some richer chaps... Good luck...

 

Make sure you plug/fill any holes properly. Nothing sucks more than realizing your trunk is full of water and has been for many months!

 

I have a new Antenna same as the 2008 and up, shark type never mounted, in original Jaguar box , bought it for one of my street rods but it wont fit.

 

Omg buy the jag spoiler... Compared to GTR spoiler it's 1000x better!!!

 

Says the guy with a XKR-S. I don't have that kind of money to spend on a spoiler, sorry. Thanks for your opinion though...

 

Sorry brother, didnt mean to sound arrogant or anything. basically the XKRS spoiler is shaped much different and more eye catching than the GTR. Its carbon fiber and all the ferrari guys i know go .... "wow..is that real carbon fiber? on a jag?" It shapes around the back end of the XKR - as its not a "square" like the GTR. It just gives a totally unique and different appearance. in fact I am thinking of buying this spoiler from David just to have as a spare and in case I even break down and buy a regular grey XKR will place it on it for giggles!!

I just sold the XKRS spoiler to Mina Gallery who I assume is going to use it for measurments, mounting points and wiring to make a knock-off. Check with them for more info.

Peace,

I am excited to hear this news. i may have to switch out my current tall spoiler for it when they come.

 

I received an e.mail on Monday from Mina replying to a enquiry I sent some time ago ,saying they would be producing the xkrs spoiler in about a month.:icon_

 

Got one also. They told me a matter of weeks. Can't quote me on price though...

 

Finally got my GTR spoiler on my XKR. Got all my trim pieces (trunk jaguar emblem line, side and hood vents) painted gloss black. Looks pretty good. I'll let you guys have a gander.

 

The spoiler looks good ! (as does your whole car)

 

I have to admire all the hard work you have put into this, you've created an original unique car rather then a XKR-s clone. Well done

 

Good news . I just received a email from Chris at Mina the prototype 2013 XKRS rear trunk spoiler should be arriving this coming wen.

 

Whats the price? Any word on whether it will have carbon fiber in it?

Loth

 

That should keep the rear end stable at three digits! It might even reduce your 1/4 time. Now you're going to have increase power say...600hp!

 

So your saying the 550hp on the R-S isn't enough for the wing!?!

Better remove yours

 

What did you use to tint your headlights?

 

No price or info as yet, will keep you informed if I hear anymore. I think we are all on pins waiting

 

It was a joke. You know...an excuse to have to keep going with the mods.

I actually did read a review where they were testing the XKRS on the track and found at the end of the straight that the XKRS speed was the same as the XKR. They postulated (like that big word?) that the wing was providing enough additional down force to actually slow the car down. Coincidentally to the same speed of the lesser HP XKR. So yes that large spoiler may actually reduce your 1/4 mile time. And yes the big spoiler that I have probably reduces mine. I'll take the additional down force over the speed since my interest is more in handling than straight line speed. Although that is fun too!
