Default Different body kit

Sarona body kit. Not sure if I like it or not. Just wanted to share it. All pieces can be bought separate.
Sarona

The body kits available for XK(R) 2007+ are limited. From cheapest ($) to most expensive : Mina, Sarona, VFiber and Prior Design. The best looking is obviously the Prior kit but at nearly $10K US it ain't affordable. The VFiber is also awesome looking but I tried bribing everyone that sells it and they all told me it doesn't exist anymore... Damn... I thought the Sarona kit looked like crap so I went with Mina. It looks absolutely amazing on my car...

Thanks for the update on other kits. Good to know which is the cheapest too! I agree the Prior Design is awesome but, not reasonable.
Any others out there? How much is the OEM one?

I did a quick search on the VFiber kit. and i have to agree, while it is unique, i think i like it. also, it apeared that there are a number of places still selling it. infact, i found it on amazon, and it stated "in stock"

I am assuming you are right, but did you call all of the places to find out?

I am not digging the Sarona kit at all. If I could have installed for free, I would say "no thank you".

VFiber Official Site-FK06JXKVIP-Jaguar XK 06-09 2dr VFiber FRP VIP 4-pc Body Kit

crossed in cyber space! Your link is better and $600 cheaper! $3000 Kind of high still.
Not sure I like it. I seem to like different parts of the Mina kit and much cheaper.

I recently (august) called over 10 places (including your links) and they all told me VFiber does not make that kit anymore. I was disappointed. I went with Mina and just got mine back from the body shop. Looks amazing...

Looks good! I guess u had a choice of xk style which u have right? And RS style rear end.
So what does a body shop charge to put the kit on?
