EZ lip on Jaguar STR. What do you guys think?
#21
Hey, Candy. I got my cross-drilled rotors, front and rear from "Brake performance.com". The brake pads that I'm currently using are Akebono Euro Ceramic and I got them from Amazon.com. As far as performance difference, braking feel and distance is about the same as stock. No loud noise from pads or rotors either when braking. I love these pads because there is NO MORE DUST, so they're excellent. Upgrading to bigger brakes will require a bigger calipers and rotors, and brake pads. So something like this probably would be available from Baer or Stoptech or Brembo. It would be expensive like more than $1k and probably would require for you to run a bigger diameter wheel. Of course you can upgrade to S type R brakes but there is just too much stuff to switch out and again probably would be expensive unless you would buy a wrecked STR.

I was getting my quarter panel fixed at a BMW dealership for my Jag and a paint guy told me that they paint wheels there. So they remove the tires from the rims, prep them, paint them in a color that you want,then remount and balance the wheels. I think I paid $400 for everything, but the price could vary. So far after a year, the finish is still perfect.

They look very nice. Any idea on what color the paint is? I like that its not real dark, but still has a nice clean look.
Edit: after looking back at the picture it looks like they are the same color as your car.

thanks 03jagg! great idea for an alternative lip , i would love a mina lip but the price is ridicules , $1450nzd shipped . no thanks and ill wipe it off in 10mins flat .
i just put one of these ez-lips on mine for $55nzd . for no other reason than for looks , and in my eyes it looks great . i made 13 flat alloy retainers plates and riveted them up sandwiching the ez-lip up , as well as the 3m tape. should hold up fine if not these are cheep to re do . also stuck a roof wing on the rear window . i quite like that to !
ill get some day light shots when i get a chance !

Funny how some of these older threads surface, when you have an idea, and think it's a new one.
Nice touch, I'd say, and a great idea to add pop rivets ( I probably haven't used a rivet gun in over 10 years, so it's a good excuse). Would love to see what a rear window spoiler looks like on a "S". The stock one on the boot of a STR is small, yet tasteful (that's another thread).
