I've completed doing all the modifications I wanted to do on my 04' XJ8. Just when I thought there was nothing more to be done to the car, I found a place called Wald International. They have these amazing body kits that really stand out and rival that of a new AMG Mercedes. I'm really considering getting the rocker panels, rear bumper, and possibly the front bumper. Here is my concern... Do you think this kit (with stainless steel mesh grill, not black) will look good on my sea-frost color XJ8??? I'll post some pics below of the kit on a black XJ.

Like the rear and the mirrors - but the front, WTF - not for me!

 

I like, I think. I've looked pics of the Wald bits over many times in photos. Sometimes they look a bit much. Until I see them in person, I can't give my final answer.

As far as seafrost and the kit, again, I don't know. Until I saw, I'd have to reserve judgement. On paper, however, I have reservations that such a dramatic and "in your face" style would mix well with the stately and soft seafrost.

I don't need any convincing on the mirrors. I WANT them.

 

This car is wicked compared to standard one but tinted fheadlights aren't good at all

 

mirrors and quad exhausts look great.

 

Bah, that Wald stuff is for ricers. They were really popular when I had a Lexus LS and was on the forums over there. That kind of crap is what made me turn to Jaguar in the first place!

 

I'm glad I got some feedback on this. The kit seems cool but maybe not for me and the color of my car. I think that if I take anything from this it would have to be the mirrors for sure. That will be my next project then. Thanks!

 

Yeah they made a beautiful kit for the 92-00' SC400... when were you there & username? I've been a member there(same user name) since about 1999 and was a SC forum moderator for a while! We added a ton of innovative aspects to the site and brand in terms of after market items. Because as we know here it was hard to get true performance & after market support.

However, I got a XJ8L in trade deal for a LS400 in 2001 and slowly turned to Jaguar but I miss that Lexus low $ maintenance cost... those cars don't break man! But they have lost their styling edge...
