I found this website on the internet I thought I would share. Check this out for all the people want DRL LED Lights for our cars here they are.

It's not bad. Better than some I've seen. I don't like the way it looks "bolt on". You can see the lines where the kit bolts on, for example, in front of the rear wheel well and below the leaper logo behind the front wheel well. It would look better if those seems were blended into the body. It also needs some spacers on the rear wheels because they are WAY inside the rear fender.

I do like the front end, though.

 

I hate it...looks like a mitsubishi eclipse in my opinion.

I much prefer the look Paragon seems to be heading in!



- I'm eagerly awaiting the new kit, "venturi" (or whatever it's called) kit, that has the bit more aggressive styling then the one pictured above. Once I see some more detailed pics and pricing on that it will probably be the one I'll be considering!

 

I don't like the bar through the grill. It should be open with the stainless mesh.

 

I am not sure, I like it but it does look a bit bulbous and I am a fan of the blended look, perhaps if you lost all the joins it might make it look better. Hate the grille, but I do like the lights.

And answer to pomosv

Its the Verendum Kit..... And if you are curios about the name my son came up with it, apparently it is Latin for Awesome lol

We have a car going into paint in the next couple of weeks and it will look something like this



You might notice the very similar look to the pic pomosv posted up, thats because the car above is a photoshop image I did to see if would work, one guy liked it so much he bought me an XK to do it to, that was 18 months ago.
But we are well on the way

 

Yup, I agree with the front end, very stylish

 

I want to get the new LED Lights

 

I'll jump on this wagon and say I Do not like it. It makes the XK look like so many other wanabe sports car. The 1996 - 2006 X100 body style was unique and set it apart from the croud. I like it better that the current X150 body style.

That looks great in my opinion, builds well on the Xk's styling and adds anice level of aggresiveness...

Will there be an option for fogs? Kind of reminds me of this:

 

I don't like the body kits available. I think the best thing we can do to our cars is addition by subtraction. Remove a little height, remove the strip and you have yourself a near perfect X100.

Next spring/summer there's a thing or two I plan on doing on the cheap to get a more subtle-aggressive look without resorting to body kits or other gimmicks.

But, it doesn't look all that bad for a brand new kit, better than a lot I've seen for sure. However it could look more professional and less ricey. Give it time.

 

I am not much of a fog light fan but I guess there is no reason why you could not add something yourself.

 

The LEDs look really feeble. Not the high-power Luxeon LEDs Audis have, for example.

 

I just noticed the movie that they have on their website. After watching that I like it a lot better. Here's the link:

I still think it would look better if the body kit was blended to the actual body. Also, on the rear fender just in front of the bumper there's a spot where the rounded part of the rear skirt meets the rounded part of the rear fender. The seam really makes the rear skirt look bolted on and not a part of the car. But still, I like it overall.

 

If I had to choose between the two, I'd take XKRacer's any day.

IMHO, the horizontal bar in the front grill of the silver car look like most other new cars I see around here.

And 100% agree, blending would be much better.

 

+1

the one in the OP doesn't look as tacked on as some of the kits I've seen, however instead of allowing the body to taper inward as it goes to the ground, it makes it look like it tapers outward, which completely changes the look of the car from something elegant to something massive. the end result being it looks like the top half of one car grafted onto the bottom of something very different.

 

Sorry, that's just awful. What were they thinking? The sides look as if they've been smeared on using filler and they haven't even matched the paint with the rest of the car correctly. A botched job if ever I saw one.

 

If I had to be really honest (I am not wanting to have a dig at any competition this is just IMO) The side sill covers are totally wrong, they are far too big, the rear is OK, I dont mind it but again too big, I have no probs with the style it just needs to be toned down a bit, but I do like the front bumper, ignore the grille, at the end of the day you could remove that and have mesh.
The problem I have is it adds so many lumps and bumps, the sill and bumper almost grow out of the sides like some one has given it a good pummelling with a base ball bat and it is all swollen, if it flowed a bit more it would work well.
If you look at some of their other work with the main company Quad Conversions you can see it follows a similar ilk, that spells ricer, that will not go down well with the main Jaguar fraternity but with the younger boy racers....maybe!

 

The more I look at it the more I like it. I especially like the front, although I'd have to get rid of the Chrysler-looking bar through the middle of the grill and put a stainless mesh grill in there. The side skirts/sills need so be blended to that they don't look bolted on, but I like their width. It makes the car look wider and more stable. I just don't know how the rear bumper could be fixed. If it was blended into the body then it wouldn't be removable, and eventually the rear bumper will have to come off for some sort of maintenance. It would be a pity to have to do body and paint work every time the bumper came off, but I don't see a way around it with that bumper blended to the car.

But maybe I'm just showing my (young) age. I can understand that some people like the classic elegance of the factory body. That body kit, with a couple of tweaks, would be a real head-turner.

 

So the LED Lights shipped to the USA cost 650 euro which is about $887.
