Default Hello people

New to this board, but have had my car around a year now. I really love the car, but it is slow. Past ride was a 97 pontiac formula vert which was alright fast. Bought my X type when i was 18 and now im 19, bought used. No real problems, but looking to make it have a better appearance. Dont know if anyone else is from st. louis, but i am from right around there.

Welcome to the forums
Arden's body kits are great but $$$$$ .BTW, another option is that you can try X Type's Sport version kits .

Thanks for the welcome people!

Cadillac, not looking to spend much at all, just stuff like HID's, exhaust tips (to better fill the valance), and maybe a trunk lip. Nothing big, i will most likely be going the way of a corvette or maybe a diff jaguar soon (after i grad college). But thanks a lot, i have thought about it before!!

Welcome fellow mid-westerner.
Might be slow, but how many at 19 drive a jag? Maybe it's better for insurance and speeding tickets anyway. Plus, when you have the need for speed, you have a dirtbike.

Best,

Tommie

Hey BamaGal,

Welcome!!!! Hey, you should start a new post introducing yourself (since you're buried in another thread). Others may not find you or know you exist.

(wish I was in a warmer place - lucky you!)

Here are some pics of my Jag. As you can see it is in perfect condition and stays that way despite me daily driving it. I keep my stuff clean if you can't tellThought i would be friendly and code them as thumbnails since there are a lot of them, but it seems there is no web coding here. Sorry 56k Guys.
