Based on cost, I would love a set in Alabaster.

So there is no need for mesh or anything like that. It will just look hollow inside like the SLR McLaren does..
Here is a few close-ups from the Mclaren

Talking Re: New fender strakes

I would absolutely buy a set if you end up getting them made. The fender strakes and fake vent are the biggest eyesore on the vehicle next to the stock parking light bulbs IMO. It would be nice to finally have a real option for making that part of the car fit the rest, nice and classy!

I like the concept, would be interested in seeing pics of the finished product installed and price when you get it! Thanks HyprLtH20 for your hard work on trying to get us more styling options for the XF!

ok just heard back from my manufacturer...

Price will be $150 per set. This includes both right and left sides, painted, 3M adhesive. These will be ready to mount out of box.

I am set up to meet with the manufacturer on friday afternoon to give them the mold.

the first batch should be ready around Sept. 13th.
