Welcome. You own a car like this because you love and are engaged with cars, otherwise you might as well own a white Toyota Camry. So if this makes you happy good luck to you.

Would I do it to my car? No.

Would it be legal here? No.

My opinion only obviously, and not that anybody asked, but I google custom f- types every so often on the Internet to see what may be happening out here with our cars. This car is a tough one, because the design lines are gorgeous. I think the mods that look best continue to highlight and push what is already done well. This would be:

Lowering
Custom, but classy wheels, some concave styles
Wider rear tires
Tint
Rebadging or possibly black out badging
Some of the matte/color wraps (matte is an acquired taste, but can be a "look" that accentuates body)
Carbon fiber pieces or black, particularly hood vents, front side splitter, side skirts, under hood parts
Carbon roof
Custom logo puddle lights
Black, body color or maybe even white (on white car)exhaust tips
Under body LEDs would likely accentuate the cars beauty
Tinted tail lights with other mods
Some offset hood stripes, but again could be distracting
No front plate
Remove front grille crossbar
Rear plate/frame that blends in with body color (would love to eliminate)
Custom shift paddles in red or other matching/coordinating color
Custom seat/interior materials (haven't seen this I can think of other than SVR)
Custom lighted personalized door sills
Custom stereo system (styling of the mind)

That's all I can think that is styling related. Above would not necessarily be done all on one car, but carefully chosen and studied.

Would be interesting to what Jag e type eagle speedster designers would do with f type. I think they amped up the e type in a understated but more stunning design.

As others have said its your car, do what you like and we get to talk about it. Works for everybody!

Not really a fan but since you have them can you dim them to the point you can't really see them but if you look close it looks like something is going on in there?

But then again, it's your car and you can do whatever you'd like regardless of what others think.

I'm sure they're a great conversation piece at parties and gatherings. As long as you leave them off all other times, I suspect they're stealthy enough to not be noticed, so no damage done to your beautiful car.

Godspeed having your shop do a 180. The idea was better than this though...

Anyways, I am ready to start doing little things here and there..
Hence I started out with:
Tints (20%)
Smoked the Tail lights
and I just got these red LED lights installed into my grill...

just wondering what other's opinions are about it?

Thanks and look forward to chatting with everyone!
I think you're punking us, right?!?

Interesting picture. I picked up a white, first generation Miata to drive while my F-Type is being repaired, and now know what my next project will be. Thanks!

Not a fan of the LEDs...Looks very riced out/cheap.
Tints look good though.
