Yes, this can be done. The pieces are about $313 each from Gaudin Jag...sure they would be more from a "regular" Jag dealer.

Jaguar of Northpoint in Alpharetta, GA, is extending the 15% discount that Nalley Jag used to offer. They actually purchased Nalley...

I don't have the procedure for removing them but one of the techs at a local dealer (to me) said they could be removed and replaced.

Wrap them? Hexis & 3M do lots of colours and finishes.... including gloss black that would look like piano.

That's actually a good idea. The 3M wraps have come a long way, and interior vinyl wraps now have depth and last a long time.

There is a 3M Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap that has a 3D look to it. And it is not that expensive.

The exterior vinyl wraps still have a ways to go as they only last about 3 to 4 years.

I would check with a reputable shop that specializes in window tinting. These wraps actually fall under this line of work. At least that's who does it in my local area.
