Startech is a division of Brabus. I went to Brabus website and couldn't find anything on the XJ..........

I wonder if Brabus USA would be able to import any of the Startech parts? Their office is just down the street from my office. The only part I'm really interested in though is the LED running lights but it looks like I'd have to replace the entire front end to get it

Exactly what I'm looking for too.

IMHO, the Startech kit is absolutely awful. Takes all of the class out of an amazing looking car. The good news is, for those that want a sportier profile, the 2012 will have a sport package option. I hear it will be available in spring of 2012. It is only for the front spoiler, and I believe it is an add on to the existing front bumper, not a replacement of it. I'm surprised no one has come out with a sport package for the XJ...suppose there just aren't enough of them out there to justify the R&D.

I like the rims on this kit. But, man alive, the XJ has to ride like a dump tuck with 21" rims and a lower profile, it's already on the "very tight" side for suspension on a car like this (large, high end luxury), putting huge rims with rubberbands for tires and a lower suspension, this thing's gotta ride like my buddies Z06 Corvette. Some people like that, but I can't image most folks want a limo sized car slammed to the ground with "no compromise sports car" suspension.

I could be wrong.. But I wouldn't do it to mine!
