WOW! Just found this car on cardomain. I don't like everything about it but these quad tips are outright awesome!!! LINK


Check out all the pages, he has some stuff that looks sweet...

 

LOL! He took it to the extreme for sure with a lot of things but there are some sweet things that he did do...I love those quad tips, they look different than the stuff others have on here. Although it could just be me! LOL!

 

I like the looks of the tips..but the picture is too far away to see if he had to cut the valance a little to make them fit..

 

Those tips are cool and kinda like MB's CL too

 

Very nice pics! I'm glad he stopped before it became "over done" though.

 

I agree Aquil, those tips look HOT!

speaking of muffler tips, how can I take them off. I wanted to maybe take them off to clean and make them stick out more from the back. But they won't budge? are they welded on? any TIPS? haha!

 

Yeah pretty sure they are welded to the muffler. I'd find some tips you like at the local autoparts store or exhaust shop and see how they'd fit...

 

LOL

 

i have seen that car before. i think he did a great job on everything! very nice!

 

Yeah great lookin car...........The guy was / is a member here, from Singapore / China I think, somewhere like that.
Very nicely done, but you can overdo thesed things sometimes I think. Just a bit to chromey for my taste
Nice quads though

Jim

 

I agree Jim, a little too much chrome for my taste, but very well done mods and he takes pride in his vehicle. I have never seen the chromed lower grill fin. I guess he had that done custom as opposed to a cap?

And I like pedal treatments. I am getting ready to order some from Ultimate Pedals myself, they have a custom set for the X Type. I have the templates. They will add a logo on it for you, a leaper of the Jaguar name logo. Very nice if you ask me.

Sometimes it is the little things that make a difference. My X Type has a beautiful hand painted pinstripe running down the side. It is two tone, to match the ivory/tan interior. And over the front door handles, there is a very nice hand painted leaper in the lighter stripe color. For all I know it is a one of a kind.

 

the dealers sell those tips.

 

this one is hand painted, not tape, as far as I can tell. The guy has hisname overpainted on thedarkstripe, unless that is standard as well. whatever, I still like it.

 

Are you serious JG? Can you get em? How much? Those are awesome! I'd have to repaint the muffs though...

 

Not trying to start a debate, but I checked again. That is not tape and those are not applied tips, unless they have a stencil for the entire stripe, if that is what you mean. Is is definitely painted on, there are subtle differences to each side. There is a name paintedonto each side, in the darker stripe. You can just see it in the picture of the fender, justup from thezig zag pattern. I assume the leaper is some sort of a stencil, maybe the whole thing is, I don't know. But is is definitely paint.

I have striped a lot of cars, probably a dozen or more, with 3M tape and I am pretty good at it. I have worked with tips and other swirls, but only with tape and never paint. I have seen it done with paint and my hand is not that steady. Like I said, this may be a stencil that you can get at the dealer and then just add the paint. But even at that, there are subtle differences in the two sides that show it is paint, but nothing that distracts from the quality of the workmanship.

 

we sold a set and they were like 400 or 500 way over priced

 

Just for tips or muffs as well? The borla kit is like what 4-500 bucks...

 

no just the tips

 

Are you kidding me? That is nuts! Totally not worth it...Can't get em any cheaper? What are they made out of silver? White gold? I know titanium!
