Exclamation 2013 Beast XKR-S Wrapped/Track car with mods.

Here is my story. Bought a 2013 FRB XKRS. Had it couple months when my kid had a "minor accident" where he rear ended an SUV with a trailer hitch. The insurance company wrote it off, and I bought it back from them and made it a little different looking. The video explains why it looks like it does, and what it stands for. Mod list is:

Custom front end with a thick carbon fiber splitter (NASCAR piece)
APR rear wing
Rear muffler box delete (straight pipes done by IndyCar team)
Supercharger pulley
Air cleaner
Getting Schroth seatpelts
Ohlins coilovers
rear tire is a bit larger 305's and will be getting the front tires 10mm larger than stock as well.
Tuning done by Alex Truesow and his company AlphaJag tuning
Custom Steering wheel from James Hill (will share pic when I get it)
Reflective blue high temp wrapped calipers.
Will upgrade brakes and rotors as well.

Wrap is done by #wrapnredbeard and body work and putting car back together was done by https://www.jonfrickerautomotive.com/

I will update with more mods as I do them, its a daily as well as I plan on doing some time attack racing this year. If you have any questions, please ask.

FOR SALE: I do have the stock rear wing for sale, as well as the rear muffler box. When I get more parts off and swapped, those will be for sale as well. Wheel swap will come soon, as will seat swap. Thanks for reading, looking.

Please watch this video for the WHY it looks like this, and who it will help. Thank you

Today’s Special! TBI’s and non-TBI’s are very tough things to work with. There’s such variation in expressibility. I hope Gina was able to see at least a bit of your efforts. I think she would have been very embarrassed at all the fuss. Good on you for making the effort. We need the &%*£@ insurance companies to understand the need for help.

Looks way better than I thought it would. Good job as I'm not a wrap guy and I'm impressed. But I do agree the yellow headlights for me at least are a wee bit to bold. Who cares what I think!

Are you selling your XKR-S? I have only seen one other in the area.

For some reason I thought you were selling yours, my mistake. I'm for sure keeping mine. Tune and lower pulley on the list for this season.
Wondering if I should drop my rear muffler too for some more juvenile fun. Can't have all those GT350Rs at C&C have all the fun.
