Could always replicate the xk test mule lol

[QUOTE=Jacsun;1493177]Here's a front end pic. If you look on a big screen you can see carbon fiber on the straight pieces left and right of the badge. Its all standard XK rake and grill aside from the colors. The black at the bottom was an afterthought to break up the front a little. Seemed like too much blue.

The headlights are screaming "Do something with me" now. The washers almost look black but they are still the standard chrome.[/QUOT

Its just occurred to me how little the noticeability of the goofy headlights is with the 2010/11 bumper

In honesty I don't even notice the headlights standing out like they do with the earlier models

I really didn't care for the bright shiny headlights screaming at me so I put some 10% headlight tint on them and the washer trim. They look SO much better now.
Since I had lots of tint left over I also covered the tail lights. Also MUCH better.
