Hey guys, just thought I'd create a mini build thread for posterity mostly but also in case if it helps out some others to get some ideas for small stuff they can do to their F Type's to make them pop a little.
The pics here are is stock car and I will post subsequent pics with all the small mods done to it and how it sits currently in a separate post.
Didn't mean for it to take this long for me to post current pics of the car but here is how it sits now. Looks like a stealth bomber and I prefer it significantly more now. No crazy mods, just relatively simple cosmetic touches.
- chrome deleted from windows and front grille,
- chrome emblems removed and replaced with gloss black,
- 20% window tinting all around (minus the windshield, that is just stupid as far as safety is concerned),
- extensive PPF all over,
- gloss black PPF on the front lower lip, side skirts and plan to do the diffuser at the rear as well,
- smoked headlights, tail lights and side mirror signals,
- hood scoops wrapped in gloss black,
- front black plastic trims wrapped in gloss black to tie in the front end.
I believe that's about everything. And yes the Porsche license plate bracket is a bit of a paradox but I had my Porsche dealer bring it in from Jag over for me. I may get around to ordering a Jag one online and replacing at some point. Haha.
A Porsche dealer’s plate frame on the (beautiful) Jaguar is telling the world that you are driving a used car. For many this is irrelevant, but it suggests a number of things to those who notice…hmmmm…a Jaguar turned in to a Porsche dealer: what would that suggest about the Jaguar? (This is not the situation here, but the viewer doesn’t know that).
It takes 3 minutes (max) to remove that license plate frame. I’d have it off in 2 minutes. I know, you don’t care.
That's an interesting take. Surprised to see people think that much into these sort of things. But I am just in general a bit OCD so I am waiting on the Jag license plate to come in at which point I will do the replacement. Funny thing is that I traded my new 911 4S for the R8 before the Jag and then the R8 for the Jag all at my Porsche dealer. Haha. I have good relations with them so they bring in the cars that I want.
