Another reason I love the Jag...
I love the fact that the Jag convertible looks just as fabulous with the top up as it does with the top down... I previously owned a 350z coupe and while I loved it, I wanted a convertible but would never consider the 350z convertible as they are just NOT done well (the convertible lacks the sweeping body lines of the coupe and looks like a Toyota Solara with the top down).
Perfect with the top up...
...and perfect with the top down!

The wheels are Avant Garde M310's in 20"... the lug pattern is 5x120 and fit perfectly with whatever offset they come with (I bought these off of craigslist from a guy who had them on his leased BMW 5-series)... I did have to have the center bore enlarged by ~4mm but it was no problem.
As far as my car's exterior, the only other body change I made was to put in a mina gallery grille and an XKR rear spolier, as shown below (sorry for the gas station pic, I was on my way to work this morning):

I thought I had finally taken an OK picture, then my wife politely pointed out that the side I photographed was in the shadow.
This is the view from our front yard. The red roof building North of us is the hospital, above it is the Pacific Ocean. To the right is Hagatna Bay and above it some of the Tumon hotels can be seen. It's a small dot on the picture, but in the middle is a natural cliff in the shape of two faces where the local legend of Two Lover's Point takes place.
The tree above us is a Delonix Regia and it is convinced it is winter time since the image was taken on the 2nd of January, despite it being 80 degrees. Around October it was covered in beautiful red flowers. I was trying not to get it in the picture. I'm pretty sure that half of the Island is in view.
This was an excellent spot to view the Quadrantids meteor shower that passed on the 3rd. I would never be able to photograph those though.
