The younger me was all about modifications however the older me is not a huge fan of them. When you are talking about a car like an F-Type or any high-end car, l think keeping things completely stock is the best way to go. Once you start making too many changes cosmetically, it ruins the look of the vehicle and comes off looking “cheesy.” The only changes I’m a fan of are performance spark plugs, performance air filter, tires, and exhaust but this is just one man’s opinion, cheers.
Some great points and I know a lot of upgrades that appeal to me are things like carbon fibre, or wheels, or wings that may be upgrades of that specific car. That way it looks factory.
There was an F-Type on a lot where I live with the same leaping Jag decal over the rear wheel arches and it sat on that lot forever. My guess is because it looked awful. I think the dealer agreed because eventually they removed them and the car looked so much better. I had to double take to realise it was the same car. I think with F-Type appearance mods less is more. Subtlety is key, just how you did yours. But each to their own.
The only thing I find OK is the offset stripe. All else is garish and looks like overkill. The f-type is a classy look as is and needs very little in adornment. I do like your subtle accent stripes on your personal car. 8 looked into having some added to my f-type (black/red interior), but the installer wanted a little over $150 for that little add on. Not worth it to me.
the best and only one mod for F-type is the grill from P7, with chrome surround part, just no middle bar. looks nice. as for the rest - better not to ruin perfect design by anything tasteless
Robert was great to work with at Supersprint!! I recommend getting the full race exhaust system!! The race exhaust sounds better than any Mustang, Hellcat, AMG, M, etc. just my opinion :) I'll be posting vids of the exhaust very soon. The full race exhaust with the 200 cell cats is much louder than the touring version in the UA-cam vids.
Commenting from my other acct…I posted a couple of vids of the super-sprint race exhaust system.. trying to get a proper video but will need a better mic due to wind noise.
I purchased a 2016 R coupe in orange (9.1k miles) in April and the first modification was a month later. I installed the complete Supersprint race exhaust. The car sounds demonic and worth every penny ($7.5k after the discount + install fees). I also purchased lowering springs from Velocity AP and an aftermarket carbon fiber rear diffuser which was a pain to install. I changed the mirror caps to carbon fiber as well. I'll likely get the complete tune package from Velocity AP and research the upgraded rods/pistons they offer as well.
Awesome, thanks for sharing and I love Orange and other bright colours in these cars. Great choice. Have you found any benefits in lowering the car and do you find issues with scraping steeper ramps etc?
Not a fan, and some of that wrap doesn’t look like it was installed nicely. But if the exhaust tips were changed….. you can’t always think it’s a V6… because mine is a 2015 V8S, with the S badges, and it is a convertible.
Completely agree that it is so good to see individualised cars where owners have put their personal stamp on their ride. What I do also like is that it is reversible as you say. This particular customisation wouldn’t be to my taste but we are all different and kudos to the owner for a nice job. The hellcat is maybe a little too much because then people think it is a sponsorship type of deal (maybe it is lols). If they colour matched the red/orange to the jag logo background then an extra 10pts for attention to detail 👍
Great discussions. I’ve been struggling if I should modify. I, like everyone else, get too many compliments as it looks now. Stock V8 is more than enough for me (for now). My F type is very similar to yours, but a 2016 convertible with gyrodyne wheels. Beautiful as it is- I find the gray hard to customize too much without cheapening the look. Other colors such as white I find easier to customize and still look good. I changed the black package to chrome (kept the roll bars black) and painted splitters black to accent the beautiful shape of the car. Flirted with carbon fiber accents, but did not pull the trigger. New rims would be nice, but really like the stock wheels. I saw a blue project 7 style stripe on gray and it looked great. I may stop where I’m at, but the project 7 stripe across the front of the hood on ammonite gray intrigues me, but will probably keep it as is for now… I may be more open to modifications as the miles add up…. What do you think of carbon fiber accents, like the ones you can find at a place like jag madness? Like you, I really enjoy people expressing themselves thru their cars and the modifications they make!
They ruined the black one. Too much red. I have a black one with a gray top. I came here for some ideas. This is too far. Thanks for sharing. I love the blue one.
I guess when the owner grows up they'll take the mods off. The white lettering on the tyres make it look cheap. The danger with the added stripe(s) is paint fade or difference in time. If I saw it for sale in the UK as is, I'd walk past it, it tells me that the person wanted a race car and at least tried in the Jag, so it may also indicate a harder than normal life. As you may see, not my cuppa. Mine is as it is meant to be. That's why I'm keeping it so, I was sold on the looks, yes, I'm used to it, do I want to fluff my peacock feathers? Probably if I were 30 years younger, but I'd rather class. Thanks Mark.
Absolutely and sometimes keeping it as stock makes sense because there was a reason we were attracted to it in the first place. The other fact that F types are not very common anyways means it’s almost guarnateed you will never see another one exactly on the street.
If it's your car and you don't care about resell value, go wild and do whatever makes you happy. I see some hideous car builds on the road but they still make me happy that someone is enjoying the heck of their ride. I personally wouldn't do much to an F-Type. If I wanted to change it up I'd just get it wrapped in a new colour every couple of years which doubles as protection for the car. Maybe a different set of rims that have a little more negative offset than stock. The sound system could use an upgrade as the Meridian Surround Sound isn't great, but that upgrade would be more so to keep the wife happy. My preferred sound system will be the exhaust with fuse 15 pulled.
I do like the Jaguar on the side and the strip on that one, but besides under the hood and exhaust system...mine is just plain old plain red like. It's all about personal preference
That’s true personalization is good, fortunately almost every F Type looks a bit different as there are so many options. Color’s and specs and few cars to begin with.
I have a 2016 in Ammonite that’s modified. Same color of yours or close to it. Unfortunately I can’t add a picture of it, but I would have been curious what you thought seeing is about F-type mods. I’m an older guy so I don’t like the whole boy racer look. That includes the red racing stripe, just not my taste. As much as I love my F-type, a few minor changes gives it a much sportier look.
I love F-TYPE very much, but JAGUAR's market in Taiwan is too small, and it is difficult to maintain vehicles in the niche market. So I'm still looking at it... But the F-TYPE is really beautiful and has a unique charm.❤
Honestly I don't know how I feel about that black and red F-Type. I'm leaning towards meh.. waste of money. I like the blacked out rear and maybe even the wheels but the rest just looks a bit tacky. I'm of a similar mindset to you when it comes to mods. I have a final gen Celica and I spent months deciding on each mod. The result is a great looking modern car design that people still appreciate for being a classy sports car. It's no F-Type but I love driving it. Just to give you an idea of my mods, I've had upgraded cams to smooth out the increase in BHP from the VVTL-i, added an induction kit and the official Toyota Racing (TRD) rear valance and skirts along with the wheels that came with the higher model of my car. I bought the wing and scoop that come from the JDM model and also a TRD quick shifter and rare USDM TRD exhaust. All of the parts as OEM as possible with me choosing the ones I like the best. The only aftermarket parts I added were a front lip which clears speed bumps but looks great, and a few bits to make the car look more modern. I added some hubcentric spacers and BC racing coilovers for a better ride and some larger brakes for better stopping. Those being some restitching of the steering wheel, and leather padding inside, some chrome rings on the vents, and some amazing smart/sporty looking custom dials I designed. One final bit for me was the front headlights; I bought an aftermarket set and had the projectors ripped out and retrofitted with quality ones from The Retrofit Source although I need to fix these a little. It sounds like a lot but these cars didn't came out 20+ years ago and are out dated unless you do a bunch of things to them. All in all the car looks like it should have at it's peak from the factory if it came out today. I saw a few modified examples recenlty and a completely stock GTS and none of them look close to mine through the lense of a minimalistic, sporty but classy and modern perspective. When I get the F Type I can't see myself doing much more than you have, it looks great. Jaguar don't really have many options for upgrades out of the factory and the SVR bits are exclusive to that model so if I can I'll just buy an SVR but I really want your colour which I think is very very rare in an SVR. I may consider swapping wheels to other OEM versions and changing the front growler to a leaper but I need to find one with cooled seats as I'm tired of having a sweaty behind in the summer lol. I'll probably look into a speaker upgrade, sound deadening as a first step but nothing crazy, it really doesn't need it. My moneys going to be spent on PPF and Ceramic coating along with having a the Y pipe replaced along with the SC coupler and fluids to start with. Then it's just saving for any general maintenance and tyres.
Great choice on the SVR as I agree they are the best of the breed. Either way even an R can gain some updates like carbon and alcantara, wings, etc. It really just lacks the wing and front fenders as well as the updated exhaust. All great choices. I also love that Celica we had one in the family a few years ago and they are very fun cars and a cool style in the latest gen.
@@markholubetz they really are, so under rated. Have you heard the SVR exhaust next to your R? It's difficult to tell on videos but the SVR one sounds like it has a lot more treble in the exhaust notes while the R feels like it has more base. Am I imagining it?
Happy Father's Day I'm sitting here watching your vid on that modded out ride and I m torn because I'm sure whomever owns that car that's thier pride and joy and I'm not going to say anything rude. Let's say it's not for me...that project 7 , 8 side sticker has got to gooooo. The only thing I'd mess with on the r type would be engine upgrades. Now the project 7 convert in Harry's Garage now that's nice..especially the cowl piece behind the driver. Also this blacked out look is definitely not for me.
Thanks for sharing and it’s great to take the high road as I try to as well and I know everyone has a vision about their own cars. Hope you are also having a great Father’s Day. Cheers
On the RED stripe...I like the idea however the Stripe is too thick IMO the stripe would be nicer id maybe 1" red 1" black and the rest 4"'s RED front to rear...The cowl / radiator Red...is too much RED against Silver Gray looks great gives it "POP"
That looks so bad. Bad taste in my opinion, but the only opinion that matters is the owner's, how much they like it, etc...To me, that is bad form on a car like this. Large stripes belong on mustangs, not works of art like the F-type. Don't mind what you did to your car Mark, but this is one step too far. I have seen worse. Saw some F-type on a forum where the owner put a huge plastic looking leaper sticker on the side of the car...It makes this car here look good, it was SO tacky....To each their own. You asked for opinions so I gave it ;-) OMG, I'm finding this hard to unsee...lol
@@markholubetz lol, now let me tell you how I really feel…lol…Perhaps it’s just missing some gold door handles…lol…In all seriousness, it’s not my car so it doesn’t matter. As long as the owner feels like a king on the road mission accomplished ;-0. Cheers
If you can afford to make it "yours" and not be bothered you probably won't see anywhere near the resell price you'd have otherwise? Have some fun with it! If you're a little bit more budget conscious and you really want to make something yours, you're better off getting something far less expensive and far more common and "making it yours". If you do get something a little nicer and at the upper end of your budget and you don't plan on keeping it forever keep the mods light in both performance and appearance. I'm torn right now between my '00 Trans Am and my '16 R. I could make an absolute drag monster w/ the Trans Am and it won't matter; the car is already "mine" and it's a dime-a-dozen F-body few people care about. If I go nuts on the R, yeah, I've got a stupid-fast ride that's fairly rare, but I'm kind of stuck with it now vs. having the option to easily swap at any time as I do now. The market for heavily modified luxury/sports cars is so small, it's easy to box yourself into having to keep your ride or eat a sickening loss upon selling it.
Yea that is a risk if others do not appreciate a certain taste. That’s often why I think about if the mods are easy to reverse or not as that could be an issue.
I understand they made it look like f pace front lights,but your model makes jag look more excotic and aggressive balance of speed and style,unfortunately new style reduces illusion to more standard looking car.
That made me throw up in my mouth a little, especially the graphic on the sides and the silly phrase in big white letters. But I do like the minimal red trim you did on your car.
Haha, thanks David. I know when I did mine I felt the car is hard to improve so I came at it from a minimalist perspective as I saw on the Bentley. For me personally, less is more.
I don’t mind making it, as long as it’s tasteful, for example, my xk8 never had an option for the XJ6 R sport disc wheels, I love disc wheels, the xk8 testing cars all had the sport disc wheels, however never an option on release. I think non jaguar disc wheels would look out of place, but i sourced some real ones, from a different jaguar make to my taste, need to refurb first though being rare.
Putrid! Cosmetically I wouldn’t touch the look of a Jag F-Type as it completely ruins its elegance altogether. This is a complete abomination and should be burned on site. Internally that’s a diff story. 😉
@@markholubetz Simply is better, don't like all the red stripes, ect. I had a black XK8 convertable for many years. I dive a 718 spyder, manual, chalk.
)h! and one more thing....***PLEASE CONSIDER painting your Jag's REAR ROTORS *RED............ to add *Balance (think'n in YOUR mind!!!) to side view...Matching RED of course
Mark, I just took a couple of burgers off the barbeque and wanted a video to watch while i chow down on this bad boy and you come though. My man
Awesome, sounds like some great weather to enjoy some tasty treats.
Look a lot nicer with a wash. This is some guys pride and joy who cares what anyone else thinks, everyone to there own...
Exactly, that’s the way he customized it so he is loving the look. The dirty part, it’s Edmonton, lol. Impossible to keep a car clean haha.

Yes I agree, it’s a little bit over the top and sun fade will likely cut those lines even after they remove the stripes
I think these are accessories, not mods. True mods would be a remapped ECU, a new crank pulley, cats, new supercharger pulley, exhaust, intakes etc.
Fair

I understand they made it look like f pace front lights,but your model makes jag look more excotic and aggressive balance of speed and style,unfortunately new style reduces illusion to more standard looking car.
I love the older look too and when lights are on and coming towards it is very striking too.
looks like a cop magnet to me 😂😂
Somewhat as it’s got a little more flash
That made me throw up in my mouth a little, especially the graphic on the sides and the silly phrase in big white letters. But I do like the minimal red trim you did on your car.
Haha, thanks David. I know when I did mine I felt the car is hard to improve so I came at it from a minimalist perspective as I saw on the Bentley. For me personally, less is more.
Hood and grill okay... Now just stop!!
2 sticker limit 😮
There is a lot of vinyl on this one indeed
You wanted a comment, here we go, it's too much, way too much.
Thanks for sharing
I’m boring I like cars stock. I believe in buying the car you like, not making it.
I don’t mind making it, as long as it’s tasteful, for example, my xk8 never had an option for the XJ6 R sport disc wheels, I love disc wheels, the xk8 testing cars all had the sport disc wheels, however never an option on release. I think non jaguar disc wheels would look out of place, but i sourced some real ones, from a different jaguar make to my taste, need to refurb first though being rare.
Thats fair
How to ruin a design classic. The red stripe, in this case is a big NO as is the Jag cat. Looks more like a kids Mustang now.
Well that’s nice
its an S but its still a v8 2014-2015 made S v8's
That F Type looks terrible!
Holy he'll what kind of abomination is this! But hay who am I to say if the owner likes it that's all that matters
On a side note there will be no other out there
Putrid! Cosmetically I wouldn’t touch the look of a Jag F-Type as it completely ruins its elegance altogether. This is a complete abomination and should be burned on site. Internally that’s a diff story. 😉
Thanks for sharing
Ruined
Thanks

Thanks. What’s the thoughts?

Simply is better, don't like all the red stripes, ect. I had a black XK8 convertable for many years.
I dive a 718 spyder, manual, chalk.
)h! and one more thing....***PLEASE CONSIDER painting your Jag's REAR ROTORS *RED............ to add *Balance (think'n in YOUR mind!!!) to side view...Matching RED of course
I agree, mine are getting a little faded. Stay tuned.
@@markholubetz Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm OK! However FADED???....I do Not believe your REAR Calipers were / Are RED yet?
