Default Just completed some mods on my 2008 XK.



I have owned this car since 2014. I finally decided to do the following mods

XKR muffler conversion. Done
Rear diffuser conversion. Done
Side skirt rockers. Done
Front Splitter. Done last night but I still need to do adjustments to get the right fit
ECU tune: waiting for feedback from AlexJag. I feel the car has lost some power due to the muffler conversion. Hit me up Alexjag!!!

Since you started this thread I will comment here... I think I would see if the front splitter would look more cohesive if you moved it back to line up the back edge of the turn up to the edge of the fender well just in front of your front tires... Just a thought...

Thanks Texas. Will definitely try different positions. The splitter is in 3 pieces. I have had it for 2 months and finally decided to bolt it yesterday. I initially was planning to wait until next spring. Anyway, appreciate the sincere input.

Looks like you’re missing the best mod you can do to a X150 convertible, and that’s to install theJagWrangler.com’s Remote Top and Rear Window control (sorry Steve if I got the product’s exact name wrong).
I bought the kit before my car was even delivered. Easy install, best mod ever.

Agreed, and don't forget rear wind blocker, too.

I have the rear wind blocker. Red. Bought it from a company in the Netherlands. I took it off coz I had to carry the muffler in the backseat when I was replacing it last weekend

I looked at this in 2015 but never pulled the trigger. Other projects took precedent. I just replaced the canvas top early this year. Tomorrow I am getting windshield removed to reglue the dash. Labour of love🤦🏾*♂️🤦🏾*♂️🤦🏾*♂️
