Thanks. Yup, aftermarket and fitment was perfect. The only customization I had to do was for the laser radar boxes inside of the rear bumper. The new bumper didn't have the area to mount them but it was a simple fix to make mounting locations for them. If you don't have distronic, you don't have to worry about it.

Front bumper only takes about 3 minutes to remove. Only 4 bolts hold it on.

Sideskirts are easier to put on if you have an extra set of hands but you can do it with just 1 person. The clips that hold it on will pop out if pressure is not equally applied to the whole side skirt at the same time.

So how is the feeling of driving the Jag compare with the S600? handling, riding,.... is your is SC also? will it as fast and unlimited power like V12 600?
in my country not a lot of car to try..so i must look around..
Regards

The jag drives just as well as the 600. Handling in the benz is better but I also lowered it to be able to take 35mph ramps at 60-70mph and it stuck to the ground like glue so I can't really compare to the stock height.

I have the regular 5.0 and it's decent power since the car is a lot lighter vs the s600 is 5000lbs but tuned to almost 650hp and over 750tq. I have no doubt it could do 200mph+ but I've only tested it to just over 170mph a few times which came in the blink of an eye and no hesitation at all...we don't have autobahns here...haha.

We don't have places to drive a consistent 100mph+ here except at the track where it's legal. Plenty of ferraris, lambos, etc around here but you never see them going fast...because there isn't anywhere to drive them to their ability.

1.) Acceleration - It's a tuned twin turbo v12
2.) Yes, they all come with ABC - lowering links to lower - takes 10 minutes

If you are behind or getting the car will affect retirement money, then I would say to hold off. You have a nice car as it is. Sure, the newer car has its pros, but it also has its cons.

Getting the car wouldn't affect my retirement account(s), but it would increase my monthly expenses. No point in going from no car note to a car note when there really isn't a need to.

But I might hop the fence in a few years when the X351 price dips below 20k. That car just looks so stunning in black!

I'm thinking that by the end of 2016 they'll drop below $30,000 and I can get one with fewer than 60k miles on it.

I do agree. I buy all of my cars outright. When you buy in cash from dealers or private owned it's easy to get them to knock 3-4k off the price of the car. They don't want to see cash walk away.

That's true. I got this one for 4k less than the dealer was asking by letting them know that I would just need to make a quick trip to the bank for a cashier's check. They dropped that price very quickly!
