Washed mine today, but man the clearances on the front tires are so tight I can't get my sorry excuse for a wheel brush in there very well. And it only barely fit in the rears.

I gotta get a set of Wheel Woolies.

Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow!

Cool. I didn't have the chance to do the rear diffuser/valance, and decided against doing the front grill bar in CF, but the rest is done.

I'll be going back in the next couple of weeks get a clear bra added and do the valance. At some point I'll also get the side windows tinted probably.

Polishing the inside of your windshield? Never heard of that.

I'm hoping to get 100 more at least. I'm only at 220 so far, I need to get to 500 so I can take it over 4000 rpm!

Damn, wish I could make this especially since my day just opened up last minute. If there's any room for another, let me know!

Drive safely!

I'm sure there is. I won't be eating breakfast (walking the puppy) so you can take my "spot". The drive itself there's really no limit since we're just driving.

Hey folks,

Just got back from the drive. I had a lot of fun. Was great meeting those of you who were able to show up!

I forgot that I had business cards for the company that did my CF wrap work, so if anyone is looking for that, and you're close to San Carlos (or close enough to make it worth a drive) let me know and I'll PM you their details. They do great work and they're inexpensive too. They'll pretty much do anything you want, from clear bra's to full wraps.

Yes,your car looked very sharp and the cost was super reasonable...about how long did it take them to apply all that?

Well back from a great drive,we had 12 F-Types so in our 3 west coast runs,we are averaging just over 12 cars per event...pretty damn good turnout,thanks guys!

A big thanks and shout out to Lindsay and BMCD for hosting this event,what a great idea...would love to see something end up in the Monterey area and I will certainly scout out a route and someplace cool for lunch.

Here's a couple of pictures,thanks again guys,great to see everyone again...no BRG but we had black and white covered,lol!

Thanks. It took a week to schedule, and about 5 hours to do the work, including breaking for lunch. That was with 2 guys for the first three hours and 3 guys for the last two. I hung out since I didn't have alternate transportation so I watched and chatted with the guys while it was being done.

I'll be going back for the Xpel and rear valance.

It was great meeting everybody today, and getting to share a fun breakfast and ride with so many cool fellow Jag owners.

Thanks Lindsay and BMCD for organizing! Will definitely attend future events.

I definitely felt like "odd man out" having the only Jag with a front license plate. I swear it was already on there when I bought the car! But I think it's gotta go and put a couple Bumper Plugs in the holes.

Looking forward to seeing folks the next time. Until then, safe (and fun!) driving!

only time you have to worry about the front plate thing is parking in San Francisco (meter maids, $10 fix-it-ticket). otherwise CA cops/CHP don't really care.
