Just showing new editions, replaced R badges with current year OEM badges, and dubbed the car an SR1 , also put carbonfiber supercharged emblem on both sides.plus mina badge and mina caps red. Think it adds what do you think

I like the new R badges a lot vs the older ones.

You Asked So Here Goes... the supercharged emblem looks tacky, crooked, too busy, and it just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the emblems. The new "R" emblems are sweet though. To each his own.. just my opinion.

QFT! I have new badges as well, definitely a good mod to modernize the old jaaag.

+1 to the supercharger badges. I had some but ended up removing them.

New R badges are nice, its freshens up the look, but the red caps, supercharged badges, sr1, and chrome pillars, that's a no no it makes the STR look cheap, keep it stock but in a classy way.

I can see the point of view of the supercharged badge, and the Sr1 badge, but the chrome pillars came with the vehicle and they make it look way LESS cheap. They are actually quite impressive. I like the look of them 100% over flat blackThey arent plastic or covered thats real chrome. And my jag caps were all faded and gross so I got the mina gallery caps and i love those. But I do tend to go overboard with badging on most of my cars. It's a quirk of mine. But again too each his own. Whatever makes YOU happy. After all your the one that spent the 10k-60k on the car.

sorry, but the chrome pillars are a no-no especially if you haven't changed the window surrounds to be chrome as well. i do appreciate how clean you keep your car though
