Default 2015 White XKR coupe with blackout

I haven't seen this type of look before but I think it works pretty well. Even though I'm not generally a fan of striping. I'm guessing it's a dealer installed option to add the stripe and head and tail light blacking out. What do you guys think?

IMO, it looks like someone is trying too hard.

Indeed. Last ditch effort to sell at the dealership?

I think it would have been much better without that center stripe on the hood.

Love the car, love the wheels (in natural metal), black out is not for me neither is striping or chrome wheels. To each his own...

Agree with the comment that they re "trying too hard"

I don't mind a stripe on the hood, but I think it would have looked a lot better if it was just the hood, and not the nose. 30 second MSPaint touchup:

I like it. But I wouldn't buy it. if I was driving and quickly glanced at it in my rear view mirror, my first thought would not be Jag.

It appeals to my lowbrow tastes very much. I'd have it in a flash.

Didn't this come from the XKR-S GT look.

Maybe because we all keep clicking the link, the dealer thinks there is a lot of interest in the car
