Looking for accent strips kit for a silver 2010 XKR. Any ideas, pictures or where to buy or get it installed would be appreciated. Thanks

I would have stripes made in an Aston Martin Vantage GT style. Lipstick optional, but that can look good too.

I'm not much for sticking vinyl onto cars but I have to say that does't look bad at all.

If you're in the states and you look at XK's for sale on eBay right now you will see a black 2013 xkr-s with similar striping seen above.

That does look far more aggressive and more like a XKR-S GT.... great idea to black out the front. Thank you

Do XKR instead of GT in the cut out.

On the XKR, I would accent the whole rocker panel instead of a thinner stripe.

Am not a fan of decals and/or stickers but agree it looks good if it serves a practical/enhancement purpose, as am considering having my:

1) rocker covers/sills carbon wrapped to prevent road rash
2) mirror covers carbon wrapped black weave
3) SC bonnet grills and side gills hydro dipped to match
4) Engine cover hydro dipped to match
5) Diffuser carbon wrapped in black weave
6) Rear quarter and rear windows blacked out
7) Some tint to the front and rear lights

If it suits you and it's a keeper (my x100 was with me for 14yrs) then it doesn't matter what other's think.

I would like to find someone that stocks bonnet stripes similar to those on the XKR-S GT
I think anthracite on my ultimate black would look great
I am not a fan of bright contrasting stripes on these cars, subtle is better
