Hey guys, new to the Forum, will get pics up soon.
If you are thinking of powder coating you could look at this too!
It's plastidiping the rim.


I've seen a lot of rims blacked out by using this method and it's extremely cheap (do all 4 wheels for $50.00) and very durable! It is a matte finish though.

I might do this to my winter rims to see how it looks!
All the best!

edobernig,

Did you drill through pedals? Also how did you secure the foot rest? Is it just screwed into the carpet? They look great but I drive my car hard so dont want them coming off.

Thanks

 

To mount the Gas Pedal you line up the aluminum pedal on top of the factory plastic pedal, then I drilled the top center pilot-hole and and installed a self-taping sheet metal screw. To finish, I drilled the remaining 2 pilot-holes individually and installed the screw, so every thing lines up perfectly.

To mount the Brake Pedal, you pry off the plastic OEM pedal cover. The center the Aluminum pedal on top of the Steel OEM Pedal. Use an automatic center push to mark the first hole. Drill the hole through the pedal and install Aluminum Brake Pedal on top with the bolt and nylock nut. Line up everything and mark each hole with the automatic center punch then drill each hole then install the nut and bolt individually.

Drilling and installing the pedals one hole at a time, instead of drilling all the holes then trying to get everything to line up, works best.

The Dead Pedal just lines up on top of the carpet. I took the supplied sheet metal screws and turned them through the carpet and into some backing material by hand. It is sufficiently secure. You could always apply double-backed carpet tape to the pedal for additional adhesion or slide a piece of sheet metal behind the carpet and drive the screws into it.



I have not had any problems and everything is extremely secure.

You may want to add a Growler to the top of your shifter.



I have Piano Black interior so that is how I had mine inlaid, however he can do just about anything for about $29.00.

Here's my XFR that I bought off the showroom in Annapolis, Md. Went in looking to get an XK and everytime I walked by this XFR, couldnt stop looking at it. So I bought it. No regrets.

 

eaven675, how did you upgrade your headlights? i love the look for my 2010 SC.

 

Are you in Houston?

 

Eaven675,
How did you decide on that exhaust? Is it full or just axle back?

I was thinking of going with Cherry Bomb but I think it'll be a little more custom work than I'd like. Thanks!

Ronnie

 

Cherry Bomb mufflers would be a disgrace to your car.

They are the lowest quality muffler one could buy. I don't recommend them.

 

Beautiful XF and nice photography.

 

Second that, I like the dark Draco wheels with the red calipers. I didn't think draco's came out till 2012. Did dealer swap them?

 

Any suggestions then? Sorry I've disappointed you. LOL

 

lol It depends on the sound you want to go for. Magnaflow is a good choice. Made from stainless steel - will never rust. They aren't loud, but the car will sound more exotic with them.
The same goes for Borla.

Just stay away from Cherry Bomb and Flowmasters. Both are cheaply made products and you won't like the old pick up truck V8 rumble with those installed.

 

I guess I have to write something in order to post a picture.

 

The XF doesn't look bad from any angle...love it!

I have same colour just with the Selena wheels. Great looking vehicle (biased obviously haha)

 

Great car....both to drive and to look at!

 

Hi All.

Here is my XF I have had for 10 days now and love it.
