Damn cool looking. I actually don't like the carbon fiber on the dash. So many have gone away with wood that I actually like it when it's there (and real!). The outside is sweet though.

Why is it that when I click the link it takes me to a web page with the address of Skimlinks.com?

Link works fine. You may have some adware messing with your browser. Try using a different browser.

I know its the newer model year, but I would have used the older model R with Brembos and had them powdercoated red... now that would look amazing.. You need on thing in a bright color on the outside of the car that jumps out at you when you see it.. just IMO

Body kit with the flares - yes
Wheels - yes
Carbon Fiber underhood - yes
Wing - no
Carbon Fiber dash - NO! Jaguars are supposed to have wood dashes.
White thread on seats - no
Exhaust tips - yes

Paint needs to be either Jaguar Racing Green, Midnight Blue or Radiance.

You guys are toooooooooo picky!!! That thing is beautiful. Carbon Fiber dash is innovative and shows Jaguar changing in time. True, Wood Dashes are signature but it becomes monotonous after a while. The WEBSITE is motorsport hence the carbon fiber and not wood!!

Actually, it reflects the general opinion of Americans toward Jaguar. We tend to look at them in a traditional, almost nostalgic way. The Brits have a different opinion. A good example is the X type is still for sale there yet canceled in US. Also, search for the XF review by Top Gear. It starts with James in an S Type, ranting over the car's looks and what's wrong. Funny thing though, he also owns a couple of 70's Rolls Royce's.
