Photo Gallery - Where are the XFs?
I am wondering why I see so many of the XF's without the spoiler?
Is it just me that thinks it really balances the car, and makes it look longer with a much more interesting rear?
Or do people not know that it's only about $300 pre-painted and takes about 5 minutes to put on the car?
After buying my second XF, I had the spoiler on order from CARid.com within the same day and didn't really like looking at the car until it showed up less than a week later.

I'm thinking painting is another few hundred? Don't try this at home folks!

I order stuff from the UK all the time. Just got a set of floor mats in 2 days. I have also ordered heavy items like shocks. So if the spoiler is expensive there, just pay the shipping.

It's definitely a preference thing, and you have to go with your preference. For me, I have always preferred the "confident tail up" style to the "scared puppy tail between the legs" look.
But I am a very type-A person.

Here are a few of the Jags.
Loving having 2 of them, and that's a first for me. Normally, I would want the variety, but the XF is just a pleasure for daily driving. I have other cars that are in totally different categories, so I get my variety that way.

They are the original Jaguar OEM mats that came with the early XFR's.
They are now obsolete, and unavailable from Jag. However, I did find an eBay seller that had them in red in the UK, so I emailed him about the Ivory version. He happened to have one set of new, old stock, so I snapped them up. This was just a couple of weeks ago.
Even with the poor UK exchange rate and international shipping charges (arrived in 3 days to Texas), it was a total of $114. The dealer wants closer to $200 with tax for the current version that doesn't have the leaper, so I was very happy to get these.
I told him to let me know if he finds more because at that price, I wouldn't mind having spares, but no reply.
I bought a set with custom color options through this ebay retailer. Good quality and quick turn around.

Can you share the link? I wouldn't mind buying a set for the other XF.
WOAH! Is that an R-S?! Gorgeous car! I added chrome hood vents, side vents and mirrors to my black XFR so I'd say go with the carbon side vents as well. I love the contrast! Nice car - enjoy!

Nice.. Nice.. Good luck with her. I did the carbon fiber mirrors, side vents, Hood Louvers, and front splitter. I love it.

I am not a fan of the wheels Jag is putting on those cars. I owned a Kia Optima (horrible car) as my runabout car, but got so tired of its rough, noisy ride with poor steering that I sold it and bought a second XF. That style of wheel is across the entire Kia line, which makes me cringe.
