I'm not sure what to think...Maybe the front looks pretty good but the back I'm not so sure.

Its definitely different!

Since I don't like the R-S front anyway, nor white jags with black wheels, it doesn't really grab me. Distinctive, though.

Looks horrendous. I thought for a second this was the thread of the wrecked XKR-S, and I got confused. The wrecked one actually looks better.

The front looks like the illegitimate offspring of a one-nighter between Beauty (XK) and the Beast (Nissan GTR).

I agree with all of these. Pretty much messed-up a nice car and spent some money doing it.

If the guy wanted an Evo he should have just bought one and saved a bundle.

Kind of surprising how so many people mess up such beautiful cars with crazy mods. THis XKR has some nice looks and bad. Still the car is overpriced and that alone is not surprising from this specific dealer in Florida.

Could've saved even more with an Eclipse.

So much for taste. Black hood vents, mirrors, and wheels are fine, but who is he fooling; only himself.

Back and rear, yikes...

For some reason the drop looks too much on that cab. Perhaps because the wheels sit in too much not sure...

I do like the aluminum trim though. In fact I'm trying to find something like that for mine!

I'm pretty sure he was going more for the XKR-S GT look. I could be wrong, but to me that makes a bit more sense.

It's like seeing a makeup-caked prostitute on the street corner. I just want to hug his car and tell it that everything will be ok. Someone will come along and love it someday soon.
