2001 Trunk Chrome - VDP v. Base
Would someone who has a 2001 VDP with the fluted trunk chrome measure the overall length of that strip?
I ordered one off slez-bay that measures 25.5 inches where as the standard one on my car (non-fluted) measures close to 39 inches.
I only needed the trunk switch but one seller had the trunk switch WITH the VDP chrome at the same price that others were listing just the switch.
I thought about dressing up my base with the fluted trunk chrome but it appears that these pieces are not interchangeable.

The shorter VDP will not interchange with the longer base type because the longer base type has two extra holes at the ends because of the length. So the VDP will bolt on but there will a hole in the deck lid on either side.
I was wondering if there was/is a fluted one that was longer.
So much for "pseudo-plasing" my trunk chrome.

Wow,....I didn't know about the holes! This is good to know. I thought the ends are glued or something. I was thinking of "de-plasing" my VDP. The "bling-bling" grille and plinth, hurts my eyes. But then (after a lot of thinking), I decided to keep it original. It's just that with all that bling, it looks like an "old man's" car.

old mans jag?
I cant wait to see the looks i get stepping out of it 25 years young. I love the XJ8L lots of room, planning to take a road trip from
Los Angeles CA to Las Vegas NV Having a friend drive while im with my date in the back playing the Tunes drinking wine all the way there, Loving the limo Tint all around
It's a car that can fit any age group, *Bling* is "in" right now, (most of the young ones here in Los angeles are driving the older 80's Jags.)
In Los Angeles they are called "Hipsters" not many of them can get their hands on the X308's just yet, or not very mechanically inclined to keep them maintained.
But Regardless of age, They car makes a statement for itself for who ever is driving it, Elegant Taste
