Thanks guys. XJRont, I had my window tinted at Sweet Wheelz in Mississauga. Llumar tint 35% $220 tax included. Very pleased with the work and service. I was slow to react to the XJR. Got to the dealer 4 days later and it was sold. I bought a 08 S type instead for the wifey.

Dropped my XJR off at Sweet Wheelz Tuesday en route to the airport and picked her back up this afternoon with newly darkened windows. 35% all around. Although there's rain in the forecast I had to wash her as soon as we got home - sitting there she got kind of dirty. Thanks again Slick for the endorsement of this place. Tint looks good. Here's how she looks now (no before pix).

Thanks KarlC. I'am saving for a body kit from J Complete. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I'll have it installed by next spring
Here's a link to their website

Hey Davedella, took a look at all your pics. Good job on the modifications. Very tasteful, not too flashy or stock looking. Just about right. A few of the mods you've done were also on my wish list ( piping, picnic tables, wood dash surround, lower mesh etc...) But the bank account won't allow it right now ....
You keep your car in prestine condition ! Hard to believe its an 04! Looks like it just rolled out of the assembly plant! I like the small details you've done to the interior too . Like the Jaguar leaper/logo positioned in discreet areas.
You can find the 5 spoke "callisto" wheel listed on EBay from time to time. I believe there was a forum member on this site that had a listing on eBay for his Callisto wheels about a couple of months back. Do a search on this site and inquire if he still has them for sale.
45wheelgun, I've done about 24,000km on these tires in the last 2 years, and so far I've been very pleased with its performance. Tire wear has been above average, it's smooth riding both on highway and city roads. We had a pretty harsh winter this past year and performance on this tire was very good for an all season. I put these tires on my wife's S-Type and she's done about 40,000km on them. And so far, it's performing above average in terms of thread wear, comfort and stopping distance.
KarlC, the cost of the kit is $3000US plus $800 shipping to Canada. I'am really looking forward to this upgrade next spring ! The other 2 companies that make kits for the X350 are Wald International JAGUAR XJ X350 SPORTS LINE BLACK BISON EDITION ~'07 and Arden

Hi CJP, the straps were an accessory from Jaguar. The part# is c2c5101. You can buy them from your local Jaguar dealer or sometimes it gets listed on EBay. I paid $25 CND through the dealer. They are very easy to install. Open your trunk and you will see 2 plugs on the roof. Replace the plugs with the ones supplied with your umbrella holder. Takes 3mins max to install. The kit comes with easy to follow instructions too .

The umbrella straps are pretty cool, a must have for any proper gentleman.
From a thread with my own personal modifications, both interior and exterior.
