It looks like that f-type has a wart on its nose. Lance it off!

Also, you already have the crest on the grill and the S badge. Too much going on with the leaper on there.

Hope that helps.





Wow, that looks AWESOME! thanks

Give me strength, O Lord!

I would like to think that Jaguar owners are a step above those 80 year olds with the Cadillacs with the fake rear trunk mounted wheel, whitewalls tires, vinyl roofs, and chromed everything, but whenever I see a thread like this I'm not so sure. Are the people buying these modern Jaguars the same ones who bought their first XK120 in 1948? I thought all those guys would've died off by now!

Beautiful car, but don't even think about putting a hood ornament or extra badge on the front end. Those are reserved for old school Jags and they have nothing to add to the modern cars, in my opinion!

There are some things you can't unsee--this is one of them.

wow... tough crowd!

at the end of the day the only opinion that matters is the one of the person who wrote the check or makes the payment.

It really does look like that. lol

I am not for the leaper hood ornaments, never have been, But love the placement on the rears of the entire line-up.

On the other hand, Mercedes still proudly incorporates the silver star on the hood of their cars.

Ok, after so much feedback (thank you), I decided to replace the old leaper to this one in the picture. What do you think? Should I nail it down or use glue?
