Default New Jaguar Owner, 01 S Type Intro

A little intro,

My names Mike, I'm 18 years old, currently going to college full time, ultimately like to obtain my MBA degree and working about 30 hours a week at 2 Cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons office. I am paying for this car, as I payed for my tiburon, and any other vehicle/mods/insurance/gas (just in case someone thought mommy and daddy were spoiling me, as people think that alot)

I purchased this car about 3 weeks ago after I totalled my neon, it has 67K on it, paint is almost flawless along with the rest of the car. The only flaw (which bugs the **** outta me) is that the headlights are fogged/hazey, I'm just waiting for the weather to get better to fix them.

This car is actually serving as a daily driver for my Tiburon which I've been building for the past few years, I recently turbocharged it and started re-doing all of the body work, but I am slowly losing interest in the car and am leaning more towards the Jaguar, I actually havent touched my tiburon since I bought the Jag.

Mods on the Jag so far are LED license plate bulbs, 10K HID's in headlights, 10K HID's in Fog lights.

Future mods-
Some sort of grill (not really a fan of the newer style ones, undecided so far)

LED parking lights (ordered)

A nice set of rims (maybe 20's, I'd like something with paintable attachments, just like the way they look, something clean)

Possibly an exhaust, I want something SLIGHTLY louder then stock, with a little bit bigger tips.

Eventually a double din Touchscreen H/U w. nav

Clean system setup F/g'd in, I have two Kenwood c/f shallow mounts in the tiburon and will probably do the same in the Jag f/g and tucked away nicely so it doesnt take up trunk room.

Tint the tail lights slightly

Chrome headlight rings (maybe)

Here's a couple pics of the tiburon (try to limit the ricer comments cause theyre old x25)
I'll get some of the jag soon

Those pics leave me craving a Skittle or two. Definately a custom job, and looks nice. I understand 'outgrowing' that phase of your life, and your interest in the jag just shows you are maturing quicker than most teenagers your age.

As for your pics , press that yellow stamp-looking thing -> and just paste in the URL of the image. Like this.



viola!

Get those jag pics up when you can, we love oogling other people's fine automobiles.

Hi kustom n welcome to the site mate..........nice intro, certainly one of our lobger ones, not that I'm complaining.
Car looks great and very well done, although too boy racerish for my liking it fits into the need for speed style I guess. You'd really have to like green to own that car though...lol
Nice pics of a great customising job.............look forward to pics of the Jag.



Jim

At least you have good taste in rims. Those were volks right? Hopefully you head down a different route with the jag. 18 years old and growing out of the ricer faze makes you a cool guy in my book. Welcome and hope you enjoy the forums.
