Default Pics: Not from my cellphone!

Well, here's a few pics from this weekend. I don't have a digital camera currently so I just grabbed my sister's P+S and snapped a few pics.

I know they're not great, but here they are! Thoughts/opinions welcome.

Thanks. I was intentionally going with a fat tire setup... I can't stand the stretched tire look and I like how agressive it looks from the front, and it also handles a lot better now.

I've always liked those mrr rims and yea they look perfect on your silver GS congrats

BTW, the drop looks good too. Doesn't even compare to the 4X4 look

Hahaha, I was waiting for it.

If I can find them for a good price, sure. I'd rather upgrade to an 02-04 XJR, but that's just not in the cards for a few years. My dad's '06 XJR (the white car in the background) has me hooked again on Jaguars! This car is driven every day onto a college campus, through the winter, and up and back from the Boston area down to CT on a regular basis. I'm going to probably run this car into the ground

I'm just happy with the way the car is right now. I'd like to get some of the small dents taken care of as well as new exhaust tips and new front light housings (all 6 ) but I just don't see it happening anytime soon. I have also replaced the stock DRL bulbs with polarg bulbs (and the license plate lights), the high beams have Sylverstar Ultras in them, and I'd love to get a 4300 kit for the fogs.


The wheels/tires/drop definitely give the car a bit stiffer ride and are a bit noisier, but that's in comparrison to michelins on the stock 16s with the stock suspension. I'm sure when I put the stock 16s back on it this winter i'll notice a difference as well. These 18's feel great overall though. I wanted to keep a nice ride without going bags or 19"+, so this was the setup I ended up with.

This car was actually supposed to be turbo'd by now, but a bunch of my stuff got stolen down in Bridgeport... Gotta love CT! Anyways, thanks for the comments.
