My dealer put a Jaguar license plate holder on the car and I am too lazy to get rid of it. The worst offense (again IMHO) are the logo puddle lights which say at least to me that the memory issues have progressed to dementia.[/QUOTE]
I make sure never dealer frames
This is so silly I know.
I plasti dip the leaper a while back. the letters were PITA to do properly so I left them as-is. This thread got me motivated to remove the JAGUAR badge since it looked odd w/ the white leaper. Still debating if I want to also remove F-TYPE and R...probably just leave them for now, or maybe try to black them out to add some contrast. from day one I don't understand why they weren't blacked out w/ the black pack option.
what percentage tint is that? Getting mine done tomorrow.
The de-badging looks clean and I considered it when I removed mine to replace them with the factory black ones, but Ultimately elected to put most back on (left AWDoff).

My postman asked me if it was an Aston Martin ( I was quite pleased ) .He was looking at the back end which has no f type badge on it .That’s how I bought it but the badge is in the glove box so I could put it on………undecided at the moment !
My 2024 F-Type was temporarily debadged during PPF install. I think it looked better with the badging.
Quite obviously it’s a personal choice whether one looks better than another, but I am with you. I find the looks of the badges quite tasteful and in keeping with the attractive looks of the car. Jaguar put it there and the purist in me likes keeping it/them there.
When I had PPF done recently to my 2021 NSX/NC1 the installer also removed the badges before applying the film. He thought the car looked better without them but I thought it looked a bit naked. He ordered new Acura badges (and they weren’t cheap) thus, in my opinion, “completing” the look.
I've got logos but no lettering on the back. Nothing looked, as Jay says, a bit naked, but the lettering wasn't adding anything to my eye. Interestingly, mine was misbadged from the factory, so taken from all angles it was a V6S/V8R RWD/AWD 6MT. I'd call that a unicorn.
I will offer yet another opinion, by saying that I think the 4's and 6's can use the badging because they dont have the pipes on each side, whereas the 8's have plenty going on on each side anyway and dont really need more bling.
But then again, that might be just my excuse for not putting my badges back on after removing them to replace with black badges.
My 2020 F-Type came un-badged from the factory, when that was still an option. It still has "Jaguar" and the leaper on the spoiler, and, of course, the growler on the front grill and inset "Jaguar" subtly readable in the black-pack side vents.
I bought it CPO with 2800 miles, but I'm glad the original owner spec'd it that way as I dislike text/graphics on cars, especially wordy license plate frames.
I left just the leaper and the small R Dynamic on the back of mine. Originally was only going to leave the leaper, but once everything else was gone, I didn't mind little rdynamic badge. I did however remove the dynamic badge from the front grill.
Each to their own but IMHO the only thing that should be stuck on the back of a Jag is Jaguar lettering and possibly a leaper. That's the way I've kept all my Jags and that's the way Jaguar had the good taste to spec more and more of their cars towards the end of the production. Some nice examples of what it should look like.
I have Jaguar f type r in black
