Default Bought my first Jag - 1994 XJS 4.0 ​​​​​​​

Had it delivered yesterday. Put about 50 miles on it since, real pleasure to drive.

I've been lurking the forum for a few weeks, so I had many of my questions answered already. However if any of you lads can offer insight on any of the below, it would be appreciated.
  • Any way to know the type of wood my car has? I'd like to purchase a wooden shift knob and would prefer a close match.
  • Looks like it's difficult to source a Celebration wooden steering wheel. Any source that typically has US versions?
  • Headliner is a bit droopy in the rear, any recommendations on best replacement? Purchase a new headliner or can these be fixed by an upholstery shop?
  • Best place to source the quad headlights? I've seen a few derelict parts on eBay, but would prefer to order a whole set if possible.
  • Definitely want some larger OEM wheels. I very much like the XJ6 17" wheels, however finding it very difficult to find a set with machined finish. Any leads?
  • Second choice would be the Asteroids. From my understanding the rears bolt up perfectly, but does anyone know what spacers are needed for the fronts?
  • Is there a consensus on best way to lower the vehicle? It's just a cruiser for me, so performance isn't a priority. Just looking to lower it about an inch for an aggressive look. Eibach springs? Cut stock coil? Coilovers?
  • Anyone know the make of the factory radio? I'd like to add an Bluetooth transmitter to the CD changer control. Maybe Becker?
  • Leaping cat hood ornament, is that a faux pas on these cars? Or acceptable to swap out the flat badge?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Really looking forward to being part of the community.

And here are a couple of shots for good measure...
