Default What mods should I do to my car?

i am looking to do some modifications on my car exceot for the rims and engine. I saw chrome pillar posts for a jaguar x-type. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PILLA...spagenameZWDVW
How would it look on a british racing green color?
I was looking to put in teh chrome mesh grill but it says plastic bars need to be cut, what is that?
I saw factory chrome mirror caps for almost $200 what do you think?
I am also doing 6000k HID Kit

Hi Jason................do the mesh grille conversions upper n lower.......They look so much better, especially if yours is the sports version. Check out the FAQ section on how to!
Factory mirroe caps is a no no...............well, at least as far as I'm concerned. But, if you're a chrome lover......go for it.
Hid kit?..............A must for these cars as the std lighting is terrible.

Jim

It says I have to cut out the plastic bars. What is that, did someone put them on for you, how much was it?

Well me personally, I don't like chrome so I can't say anything about the pieces you speak of if you want positive comments....as Jim said though I do the front mesh grills! Hid kit is in order....clear side repeaters are nice...some different rims that show off your rotors....perhaps different sound...to me with all of that chrome the car kind of looks funny if it doesn't have some chrome rims as well...here's a link to why I hate chrome!

Wow, I agree with Quil, that looks really good. I think the chrome I dispise is the Chrome A-Pillars.
