Default Stainless Pedel Kit For Jaguar

Earlier this week I had the Jaguar XF back at the dealership. The stainless pedel kit I ordered arrived. I think the pedel kit looks good. The photo doesn't do them justice. The rubber from both pedels comes through and rises from each opening, so when you press on the accelerator or brake pedel with the sole of your shoe it is not touching the stainless metal. The kit looks attractive when you enter the driver side, and is a nice sport option. That, plus the lighted door sills I had installed a couple of weeks ago, adds some flair.

Stephen.......Thank you. I am very pleased with the looks, and the performance of this vehicle. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and performance is a highly subjective subject. There are many fine vehicles on the road, and many more quietly tucked away in secure garages.

Dan the pedals look great as does the rest of the car. It's always nice to add your own little personal touches to truly make it yours!

Dennis.......Thank you. You are right, a couple little personal touches make it feel more like my own.

Somehow, a JDandy and a Jaguar seem to go together quite well. I hadn't thought about stainless steel pedals for my Volvo Wagon but I will have to look into it.
I love the overall look of your Jag but the deal clincher for me is the incredible interior. The gear selector pop/up is ingenious and the seats look even more comfortable than the "Stressless" Danish leather chair. Would Marlene do an even swap for her new truck?

Howard.......There are all kinds of cool things on this vehicle. No keys required. There is a fob that you carry in your pocket. The vehicle senses it, and allows any door to be opened while disarming the alarm, the trunk to be opened, and the vehicle to be started, all without a key. Not only does the shift selector automatically rise from the center console when the engine is started and retract when the engine is turned off, the air condition vents on the dash are servo motor controlled, rotating 180 degrees to open, and reverse to close, leaving the dash with no openings when the A/C is off or the vehicle is turned off. There is a button on each outside door handle that allows the vehicle to be locked and the alarm set from any door. There is no oil dipstick on the engine. With a push of a button the information center between the speedometer and tachometer displays the oil level, and estimated percent of use before time to change. Jaguar doesn't expect the owner to have to be under the hood. The list goes on and on. The Jaguar XF is as comfortable as a pair of fur lined moccasins, drives like a performance car, and gets great gas milage, too. The XF is a wonderful car.

Jim.......I am in the comfort zone right now. Not likely to part with this vehicle for some time. It is sweet enough for me.

Just like owning a McIntosh, hook up, plug up and play. The Jag, get in, buckle up, shut up and ride
