This place is best known for Chevy V8 conversions for Jags. Still, their catalog contains some useful stuff such as an
improved design steering rack mount, as well as several tidbits of helpful information. They also have a good
assortment of used parts. “Our replacement parts (poly rack bushings, poly trans mounts, A/C hoses [R134
compatible], PS hoses, etc.) are engineered beyond OEM specifications and all carry a lifetime warranty.”

Body styling components. Offers bumper covers, a "boot infill panel" that replaces the boot plinth and provides a
smoother appearance around the licence tag, and a boot lid spoiler with an LED 3rd brake light built in. If you’re in a
country that requires rear fog guard lights, the bumper covers have no in-bumper provision for them. There is
reportedly carbon fiber involved, as opposed to the simple fiberglass of some other products.
