Good! Sounds like a great place to have family...in the winter. I’ve never been. Do you guys get to the strip often or is it too touristy for you guys? Too hot? I thought it was a DRY heat We have Family near Orlando and summer visits are off the table. Even when I was a young man on leave in Port Everglades, I could not stand th August/September heat and humidity!

I think you meant, "Jaguar XK-series...." don't worry, it's an honest mistake. I'm sure people knew what you meant! -
Don't do it! Be payment free (and or keep that moolah in your bank account!) We've got three payments left on our '14 FXT and I'm excited to get rid of that $400/month money suck. If I think about it, three payments will just about cover a Cobb AP and pro-tune! An additional year's worth of payments and I can replaced the CVT when it breaks! OR...I can upgrade and have Apple CarPlay...

It is my personal opinion that smoked headlights are about as stupid as stupid gets for car mods. Some people are retrofitting HIDs or modifying HIR bulbs to fit their sockets, all in the pursuit of MORE light output and visibility (not to mention the numb nuts who just want the look, despite any actual benefits or negative effects on other drivers). I've personally done the HIR mod and it was definitely worth it for the OE-like durability and moderate increase in lumens, all without much additional glare or some obnoxious color temperature. Granted, my uncle had smoked headlight on his 3rd-gen Mustang GT back in the 90's and I thought that was just the coolest thing ever. When I was a teenager, I also thought neon lights, chrome dubs and hella-flush stances were cool, too... In short: don't do it! lol // DD Switchback C-Light is pretty great. I love the look and practicality! Do that and post up a lot of pictures!

I can't decide. Since you've covered all of the other chrome (e.g., on the doors), the small amount on the fog trim doesn't look bad, and I hate fake chrome! I think it's works with the headlights and makes everything look symmetrically boxed on the front end. If I had to choose (you really want it covered), I'd say match what you've got elsewhere. No one else may notice, but I feel like it would bug me, knowing they're different.

Ok, so I have driven on the Conti ExtremeContacts with a better alignment (0 toe and as much negative camber as possible, ~ -0.7 degrees) for a bit now and the steering feel is much improved. The immediate change was an increase in on-center twitchiness. Now, after a couple of months, I’ve either gotten used to it or the tires have adjusted to the new alignment and their wear pattern has lessened the twitchiness. Overall, the 15 Legacy handles well at lower speeds, but does not inspire confidence on the highway, driving 70+. I haven’t noticed any tramlining, pulling or lack of communication of road conditions, but steering on-center appears to be unrefined, with constant corrections needed to stay in the lane for anything other than perfect road surfaces. To be fair, our 14 FXT has a similar problem, made worse than the Legacy during high winds, for obvious reasons. This is coming from the OEM alignment and tires with ~36k miles. I also have the 20mm RSB (which has no affect on steering; just an FYI).
