Nope, mine's in the body shop oven right now baking a new coat of paint onto that genuine XKR hood I was offered several weeks ago.

That sure is a nice red on that car in the listing. I'm wondering what H20Boy will do when he sees those wheels on it! It's even in Dallas lol...

Does that mean its a female posing as a male?

I liked the wheels at first, but the more I looked at them they seem a bit too large for the car (if that's possible these days). Kinda like Dolly Parton ***** on Cher.

Ah....that's what those two testosterone-filled lumps under the hood are.

I think they're 19's, and they probably look better in person...

Perhaps this is more appropriate for understanding that sometimes the clothes/hood/bonnet louvers are not the full story:

Are you sure it's not a REAL xkr?

My XKR happened to be listed as an XK8...which made for one hell of a deal

great color, best wheels you can have but its a coupe, and I'm now a fan of the clear blue sky on a warm sunny day. Plus, I totaled up what I've actually spent on my car (beyond insurance and the selling price via de'loan) and i fell off my chair. Between cosmetic, audi, and repairs w/ preventative maintenance, that's too much invested...this car isn't going anywhere. I just had 3/4 of the car repainted to correct every scuff, bumper and bonnet chip, and surface scratch. She owes me another 5 years, minimum!
