What do you guys think? I want your thoughts on placing a supercharged badge on each side of the hood bubble of my XFS 5.0? In this image it is not the actually badge, just a template.

Let me know if you've seen this done before or if you think it would look good?

 

I think it looks good..

 

I dig it. I think it's discrete but a good accent.

 

Creative...I like it. I'd move them down toward the front a few inches though and see how that looks. Leave maybe 3 in. from the back of the hood!

Is the curve right that there are no gaps behind and the emblem sits flush?

 

Thanks. I don't actually have the emblems yet. I ordered two of them and I believe they are the same as the one that comes on the back of the car from the factory. The hood bubble seems flat enough so that it will work.

Worried it will look "cheezy". But, I see this on corvettes and other vehicles with a hood bubble like the XFS so we'll see. Worse case I take them off.

I'm also going to remove the "XF" and "Supercharged" emblems off the back of the car.

 

I can see the XF, but leave the Supercharged on the back. The only reason to debadge it would be if you didn't have the supercharged.

 

Tasteful additions look fine to me. I added the 5.0L to my car before Jag did.

 

Me too....

 

I installed these and I think it looks great. Draws a little more attention but not too over the top. Not bad for a $25 upgrade.

 

Placement looks great. How about some close ups?

 

Looks great!...I have done many a mod....and if you like it that's what matters in the end. Your Jag looks classy ..rims and color look awesome.

 

Here are some close ups. The emblems were heavy metel and seemed like good quality construction. I got them on amazon. With a critical eye they don't exactly match the one on the back of the car.....

 

Thanks for the compliment.

 

hey, side note... what tune do you have? and what are your reactions to the tuning and pulley as far as how the care drives , handles, pulls ect ect and......in your opinion..... worth it? thxx

 

I have a VR Tune. http://www.vrtuned.com/shop/vr-tuned...150842675.html

I felt a significant increase in power with both the tune and the pulley (I did them about 6 months apart). I dyno'd it after the tune and it was about 40 HP increase. I didn't dyno after the pulley, but I think it did even more than the tune. There aren't many cars that can pull away from me on the road these days. New 5.0 mustangs aren't as fast as me, and I beat a Maserati Ghibli S the other day too. Absolutely worth it. And not one problem with my car before or after the tune. My Mina exhaust is on it's way too so I'm excited to see the difference once that's installed. The exhaust is about 40 pounds lighter than stock so that will help.
