That's a very clean looking Jag. Love the rims and the color of the car. Great choice.

Very nice car. Our 2005 3.0 is Quartz with Dove interior. While I always prefer white exteriors for ease of maintenance and virtually no paint fade as the years go by, I must admit that these S-Types do look great in Quartz....

It's a shame that Colorado apparently requires front license plates....

Thanks, I'm happy I finally got the wheels and they look great.

The last time I was pulled over was about 5 years ago in my M3 for not displaying a front license plate. Its just not worth the hassle so I run them on all my cars now.

I wonder if you could make one of the tow hook license things I see the VW/Audis with.

Lovin' your Quartz STR man, one of my favorite colors on an STR without a doubt!

The Forgestar's really set your STR apart, was well worth the wait!

Great work man!

Can't go wrong with Forgestars! Your car looks great... and has the performance to back it up, too! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! They definitely changed the whole look, and the offset is aggressive, which I like.

Its quite the all-around sedan, now with a little personalization.

Car looks great Quartz; definitely a tasteful combination of go fast goodies and some nice wheels. That is probably my favorite color combo as well. And plus one for all the racing videos.

I didn't feel like digging for some of the older threads, so I will just add this here. My emissions test was required for me to register my car for the upcoming year. Despite the high-flow cats, I was able to "fast-pass" the emissions output requirement; so no worries there.

They get part way through the test and the outputs are so low they have no need to continue the rest of the test so they stop it right there and say its good.

Did you just buy that car? I saw it recently in Craigslist and was wondering if you are the new buyer or the guy trying to sell it? I live in Palm Beach Gardens we should meet up someday

So they actually 'sniff' the exhaust? Wish we still had that here.
