Default After-market side sills?

When I ordered my coupe I decided against the Design-Pack, but now that it's been delivered I realized I might like the side sills. Anyone know what my options are? Can I have my local Jag dealer order and install them? (Just them, not any other pieces.) Can they be easily fabricated (eg from fiberglass) you think? Opinions and advice appreciated.

You have the V6S, if i recall, so you're in luck.....Jaguar offers the design pack aftermarket for the V6 models.
I don't know if the parts are available in the US yet as there is an unreasonable shortage of parts inventory worldwide on the F-Types, but see attached for the part number, details (and UK pricing)

I'm sure you can order just the cill covers as spares, what happens if a car with the design pack get's damaged & needs repairs / new cill? The parts would be available to order individually....

Thanks Schraderade. Only interested in the side sills, would like to avoid buying the other parts. Hoping to order them separately (should be possible), or get them fabricated. Doubt anyone would make an after-market piece since the F-Type is a low-volume car.

Hmm. You'd be looking for the body colored sills right?

if you are talking about the part that is standard on the V8 from the factory I inquired about installing them on my V6 and after painting and install it was $2200. That was when I firatt got the car in October so maybe they came down a bit but as much as I love them that is a lot of money for suttle pieces on the side of my car.

pabanker,
Why don't you give Chris at Mina Galleries a call. I just put the side sills he makes on my XKR, in the last couple of days. Maybe he has made or is working on or willing to make the side sills for the F-type. Worth a shot. They were very, very reasonable.

Don't care about color, could be body color or just black....

Those are side skirts as you say, not really sills, but thank you!
