Product Description
Jaguar XJ8 L Limited Edition Lower Door Kit, 2.875", Eight Pieces (TH24097)
TH24097 has a specific restriction in its own notes: "Only fits XJ8 L limited edition." It's an eight-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit, 2.875" wide, for the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ 4-door sedan, with the fitment row tagged "L Model."
Confirm your car first
The catalog doesn't explain what separates the XJ8 L limited edition from other XJ sedans. If you're not sure your car qualifies, call 877-752-3811 with its details before you order. This is the single most important step for this kit.
Placement
The record doesn't include a separate placement note for this kit, but it's filed as a Lower Kit, the same type as its twin TH24096, which the listing describes as spanning from the bottom of the door up to the specified width. Use the photos to confirm where these pieces sit on the L before you start.
Compared with the other XJ kits
- TH24096: eight pieces, 2.875", with trim crease, tagged XJ8 / X350.
- TH24095: four pieces, 4", installs below the door on the rocker.
- PP24094 / PP24095: four- and six-piece pillar post kits tagged XJ8 / X350.
Those siblings are tagged for the XJ8 / X350, not the L Model, so ask before assuming any of them fit an L. Check each listing for its finish.
Years
Jaguar XJ, 4-door sedan, L Model, 2004 through 2009.
Material and mounting
The XJ8 L limited edition kit is eight 2.875" strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Jaguar.
Eight-piece layout
The listing doesn't show how the eight pieces are arranged. Number them against the photos with painter's tape, and call if any piece doesn't match up.
Prep checklist
- Wash and dry the lower doors.
- Repair chips and let the touch-up cure.
- Clay or polish rough paint.
- Wipe the area with isopropyl alcohol and let it flash off.
Fitting
Test each piece with its liner on, closing the door gently to check end clearance. Peel a little liner at a time and press firmly along the full width.
A consistent finish
Measure where each XJ joint lands and keep it consistent across the kit.
Conditions
Install somewhere warm and dry, and skip washing for about a day.
Care
Mild soap, a soft towel and a non-abrasive polish keep the steel bright. Rinse salt off the lower doors in winter so it doesn't sit against the edges.
Supplies
Car soap, clay bar, touch-up paint if needed, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a ruler. There's no hardware.
Why wait for confirmation
A kit cut for one version of a car can leave gaps or overhangs on another. Since this listing names a single edition and the data doesn't describe what makes it different, a short phone call with your car's details is the reliable way to know these eight pieces match your doors.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 8 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
