Those are aftermarket rice. Not factory!

If I were you, I'd rip the other one off and remove your pinstripes.

It should have a badge on the rear that says "Vanden Plas" in cursive lettering. But that's it. The rest should be exactly the same as every other XJ of that year.

Maybe pinstriping was a dealer installed option, but my XJ does not have pinstriping and I haven't seen many with pinstriping.

Mine has black pinstriping and I think it looks good. That badge is a cheap knockoff. Get rid of it. It even looks cheap!!

Oh yeah, I see the pinstripes now. Didn't realize the striping was so close to the edge of the fender!

Because they want to trick out their car! Or maybe to hide a dent or a ding!

I can imagine in New York, you're probably going to need to have that tint removed. Unless you want to be ticketed all day long.

What is legal tint in New York? I know it is much lighter than in southern states.
