1. Gyrodynes.
2. Alloy shift paddles.
3. Alloy pedal covers/dead pedal.

Oh, I also fitted a lead for my iPhone in the centre cubby.

I have been watching eBay though, focusing on brakes.

My winter storage place requires a trickle charger on the car. And it's highly recommended for extended storage.

No guns, but I'm still trying to figure out where to put the rocket launcher.

Pistol,

This varies greatly on your preference of equipment. I can tell you the labor alone for mine is $4,000, but I supplied all equipment except for wires they wanted to use their own which was included in the price. You can choose 2 way speakers versus 3 way speaker systems. I chose Focal 3 way components based on Lobster's recommendation. If you look at 1 set of those speakers they list for $2,700, but I'm sure you can buy 2 way Pioneer or something for $100.00. I choose high end digital amps that are $800 and $900 each, but you can pick a $200 amp. You can spend anywhere from probably $2,500 to tens of thousands depending on how fancy you want it to be. I only went with a fiberglass box wrapped in vinyl hidden, and the amp rack will be in vinyl compared to fiberglass with plexi glass and LED lights. Again it's all based on your preference and budget. Good luck and build something you're going to be happy with not anyone else.

I don't think I have the knowledge, skill or imagination to improve on what the Jaguar engineers have created.

1. Tint
2. Michelin PS4S tires
3. Upper/lower VAP pullies and tune
4. VAP TCU tune
5. VAP lightweight rotors

I have the gyrodyne wheels, which I think look great, so kept stock. It’s all preference though…I’d rather **** my pants accelerating than look cool with stock power.

The car is now an absolute beast and no one would know it’s not stock…makes for nice surprises!

1. added a CTEK battery maintainer
2. Replaced the original Pirelli tires with Continentals
3. Replaced the original exhaust with a Supersprint.

That’s all. I’m happy now ;-)
