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.

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

nlt624, while I am a big one on the retirement account, I will also tell you to look at it this way: Are you on track to have the money that you think you need at the time of retirement? If you can say yes (or able to say that you are ahead of that pace) and you will not affect your future money investments, then get the car. 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.

I got a super offer on my 05 XJL but turned it down, couldn't bear to part with it. Love the old-world British luxury inside and the 25-30MPG! And the 'quartz' color seems to change shades like a beautiful but capricious woman.
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!
Cheers,
Wolfy

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!
