Your car is looking good! I put the clear side markers on my car, which is a big improvement on a white car. Mina is switching to a new manufacturer for the carbon fiber hood louvers, so I'm still waiting for them.
If anyone is in so cal, my car will be at the Mother's exotic car gathering at LB GP next Sunday.

I got them from Terry's Jaguar parts. I don't have the part numbers, but I called them to get the numbers and will post them.

Good vid. What's up with the aluminum paddles? Did these come standard on 2015?
I drove my friends new porsche 991 turbo cab last night. It is a very impressive car - 0-60 in 2.8 and msrp on his car was $175 k. Car is ridiculously fast when you launch it - would put many car lengths on the RS! It also handles a little better- more nimble feeling and better grip. However, from a roll, it feels very similar. It's always fun to drive other cars. Even though the 991 turbo is great car, our jags are awesome too!

I don't know, but I think I'm about to break down and buy some. I strictly use the paddles when I drive, as I cant stand driving in auto mode. Considering this, I am extremely tempted. I just cant believe they cost as much as they do.

I hooked up Torque Pro to my ECU last night just to see how much info I can get from ECU for future scanning and logging. I am going to attend HPDE next week and I want to make sure car does not overheat. Unfortunately, ECU does not have oil temperature, just coolant and transmission temp. I guess it will do. It also has A/F readings, which is good for tuning
How much did they cost and where did ya get them?

Superbike Experience: Traveling on a closed road course yesterday about 80 mph. when I noticed a bike ahead in the left lane with it's brake lights on. As I pulled alongside at about 70 mph I saw him motion to race. I floored it and didn'nt see him for approx. 5 seconds before he pulled along side and continued accelerating until he was a speck. He waited and I caught up and we made two more runs . Both times I had to let up because of traffice ahead but same result. I looked at the Speedo when I let up once and I was at 125 and he was not past me yet. I never saw what kind of bike it was but it was a big one and he did an intentional wheelie before we started once while we were doing about 75 mph and he looked almost verticle. What surprised me was that I got away from him so fast from about 75 mph . Never rode bikes so not familiar with their power curve. He had to be approaching at least 140 or 150 when he shut down ahead of me. The car still gets a lot of attention as I just had a photographer drop to a knee to photo me at a stoplight. An awsome GT.
