Default Pix. New shoes and tint...





Fresh from the tint shop. It was bone stock when I bought her. 2003, V8, no additional options. 45K miles at the time of purchase. $15,700. I paid $1200 for the rims and tire shipped from ebay, paid pepboys $80 to mount and balance. $250 for the grill and $170 for the 7% tint.

Thanks. Rims weren't in my top 100 choices. However, cheapness was it's own reward in this case. They're the same style as stock with two extra pairs of spokes and fake bolts around the inner lip.

I had limo tint on mine and had to pull it off "front's only"last week to get it inspected.
Tried three different places and none of them would budge. Had to go with 20% on the front's
Does your state allow such?


What are the rim and wheel sizes?

Looks good

I'm in GA and am air force. GA doesn't have inspections outside of atlanta and being military usually gets you out of any equipment ticket, because you just say you bought your car in South America and were forced to move to GA.

Rims are 20x8.5 and Wheels are 20x8.5...Tires (guessing you meant to say, lol) are 245 35 20s...They rub in the back, going to roll my fenders sooner than later...

Be careful Bacardi, I once heard a story of an automotive accident. The accident occurred at night and it was really bad. The insurance claims adjuster shows up and because the tint was over the state legal limit; that ended up being a loop hole for the @ss wipe to get out of covering any damages to the vehicle. Sometime about the tint exceeding the state limit therefore the claim was denied.

My goodness. In a sense, thank you for having such big pics. I love Jaguars, and specially the S-type. My God it's such a beautiful car. I'm smitten. Good luck and keep em nice and shinny.
