Stuff like this is just individual taste, nothing to get upset about. I've seen these cars with aggressive body kits that look heinous to me. If I saw this on the road, it would give me a chuckle, but it's nice that the guy picked an XK to improve. When it gets down to it, the clothes we wear and the things we buy are a matter of our environment and experience, not some rigid rules from on high of what look works and what doesn't.

I would argue that in the case of "donks", that our concerns extend into the realm of public safety - I doubt these cars handle or brake well, and outward visibility has to be impaired. They are a rolling threat to public safety!

Not to mention the damage to one's retinas from having to look at the (lack) of taste...

All he needs to complete the look is some curb feelers and a bobble headed dog in the back whose eyes light up when he puts on the brakes.

This thing does not belong on a road. And so the guy is heading for some rail tracks.

I just love how sometimes you buy a set of wheels, and get a free car along with it.

Hahaha.

If he raises the hydraulics quickly while flapping those doors, do you think he could achieve lift off?

No, but if he brings this concoction of metal parts to a beach, it could completely bury itself in sand in under 2 minutes.

I always thought the 19" wheels on my XK8 looked great. Then I snapped this pic. When pictured with the yellow car that has to be running 22's, the 19's on my Jag look awfully large. All about perspective in the photo I guess. I still love them
