I like the idea of leaving it all one color like the pictures you included. To me it just looks more integrated and more factory like. When I put on the rear bumper/diffuser, there were photos with the diffuser in a charcoal gray or in body color, and I chose to do the body color. If you like carbon fiber, by all means, customize it to make yourself happy. My choice, however, would be body color to match everything else.

Suspension
Jahummer,
I think the front splitter looks great, especially on the pre-2010 models where the lower front fascia tapers in (as it should on any beautiful sports car) unlike the widened, largemouthed bass fascia with gills like my 2010. I added Mina Galleries' previous model side skirts and front lip to my car in addition to the F/X Design rear bumper/diffuser. When I first saw the pictures of forum member GhostriderXKR08's car, I thought it was just about exactly what I wanted for mine, and I went about it assembling the bits and pieces to make it happen.
Good for you for making your car the way you want it.

Did you lower your suspension or kept it stock?
Also was your window door trim chrome and you made it back?
If so what did you do?

I did not lower my suspension. I think it is an optical illusion created by the extension of the side skirts. The window trim was blacked out by the previous owner (not powder coated, I believe, because there are little edges of the trim peeking through.) He also painted over the rear chrome "Jaguar" lettering valance.

Yes the car has custom Eibachs sourced from Matt @ Spires in the UK. The drop is about .75" or half of OE height.

HRE P101 and Jag forum member MaximA was my inspiration. I considered Niche, but thought they were too common on German cars. I also considered Avant Garde M580 until I discovered the Verde Axis V99. I went with those, had them custom bored & offset and powder coated them. Color is not quite what I wanted so may have to have them powder coated again, either darker or lighter.

Do you find that your front lip spoiler scrapes over curbs, speed bumps?
Or is it ok?
