Hey Jeremy

I'm still thinkin'. Black wouldn't work, maybe color matched. I'm not sure. What did you do on the lower, did you reef out that plastic bar? Hard to tell but I'm thinking it can't be there because your plate is.

Still love the car though, have you done the LED DRL thing yet?

 

I've had 6000k HIDs, Fogs and LED DRLs since about the first week. I don't even count those as "mods" - more like cost of operating the vehicle. All three changes combined were under $80 - so almost free.

Horizontal bumper bar is still black ABS. I'll leave that.

 

Not rocking the Sport Technos anymore?? Or are you in winter mode?

 

Those are my winter all seasons with 235/30 (as opposed to 225/30) so a bit more sidewall to take on the potholes. If it snows I will put the 18x10s on with Goodyear Ultragrip snow/ice tires.

 

Nice, what are the 18x10s?

 

The car does rock, I'm still thinking color coded mesh, not black and not chrome for mine. Can't see the abs lower in the pics, I want to do a bit of fiberglassing on the lower or just get the 05 mesh and be done. Can't decide, I love the front of the 08 XJR. But that mod be more serious than I want to undertake. It'll be the summer in any case.

 

My vote is for the grille.

 

At some point I will get the photos right. She's dirty in rainy Seattle:


...and the mysterious and new 2008 plinth. I like this piece more than the grill to be honest and the quality is factory (because it is a factory piece). Makes the car look less base-model-ish:

 

Jeremy,

I agree on the photos, you need a couple real good shots.

My 2 cents = Since alot of eye attention goes to the grill immediately, I then see the headlight's eyelids and would like to see the new grill without them and compare. But like you said I think it just might be the photos/dirty rain. I loved the old sport grille you had with the eyelids.

The plinth is clean and adds unique-ness to the car.

P.S .Did you get adjusted to the new tint in the front? I am always scared to make turns onto a side street with no streetlights at dark thinking i'm going to hit someone walking.

The vinyl is 3M Scotchcal Silver Metallic 220 Vinyl (for sidemarkers) if I remember right.

I went with save money on this one. I want new grilles for both the S-Type and GTO, along with the SAP front and sides on the goat and I wouldn't mind something larger than the stock 17s for the S-Type. At the end of the day when I really think about it, I'd rather have my money in my pocket instead of small upgrades. Might change my mind on the Jag's wheels when it needs new tires, but the tires on it now have less than 5k on them.

 

a plinth? Thanks
