I know it's not most of your alls style but I love the car and am DEFINITLEY glad I decided to get it.

2001 Jaguar S-Type 3.0
Had 60K when I got it.
Its the luxury model, sport package (not sure what all options that covers though)

bought it completely stock about mid February

it also has a blue tint on the windows, don't think its stock but it might be, it's pretty light though.

Mods list:

20" Chrome Gino Rims w. Nitto N555 245/35/20 tires
LED License plate lights
LED Parking Lights
HID Headlights
HID Foglights
Removed front plate (not sure if I'm going to keep off)
Chrome Mirror covers (stock on new models)
Chrome 6pc. pillar kit
Chrome Bar Grill (stock bars are charcoal color)
Blue license plate cover w. chrome frame
300 Watt Rockford Fosgate Amp

Very nice man! I was entertaining getting one of these for a DD. You can find them around me for 10-14k with about 100k miles on them. I gave up on the thought only because parts for Jag's are so expensive if anything ever breaks. I like it a lot and I think taking off some of the chrome gave it a cleaner look fing02.gif

Thanks man, I got mine for $15k with 60k miles on it, the transmission are notorious for going out but so far mine hasn't showed any signs of it, I figured the 20's would really displease it but so far so good.

lol Majik, there could be no waiting, I have to commute to school and work everyday and needed a car. Plus as you can see by the price I payed, it doesn't even compare to the genesis. Maybe when I'm out of school though fing02.gif

^^ i had the same idea as you at first but I only saw one Jag w. black that i liked, I dont know how the kid did it but he pulled off a tuner look with the jag and it looked good (I think he had a 2.5" drop and 18's), the rest looked extremely odd.

The chrome mirrors and pillars are still iffy with me, some times I love em other times i hate em so it's hard to tell what will be the final setup, or if there ever will be a final set up lol.

For the love of cars, get rid of those rims. Those are hte nastiest chrome monstrosities I have ever seen on a luxury car.
