Default Hood Decal

What do you guys think of the silver hood decal. I like the look of it, but wonder if its an overkill for the Jag. Cecil.............

Are you suggesting putting a Leaper on the bonnet/hood Cecil? On an F Type?

Please NO. (my opinion)

Agreed. Hood decals are for racing, or for WRX fanboys.

Let the car speak for itself.

To each his/her own but IF that's what Cecil is thinking of:

JESUS H. CHRIST (no offense) - or if you prefer, HOLY MOSES - NO!!!!!! Talk about destroying the stunning lines of the hood...

I think it also depends on what color Jag you're getting (I don't think the decal looks all that bad and would be more conducive on lighter colors).

Just no leaper.

I like what they did for the Project 7 car, but agree with RickyJay that color matters.

If you are gutting the interior and prepping the car for the track, that decal would go just fine with the car number and all the rest of the sponsor decals.

For the street, it's a bit (or even a lot) "in your face" to display on this elegant beast.

I have been enlightened. The decal is a no go for me. I have been convinced that the car doesn't need it. Thanks to all. You saved me money too. Cecil............

Why would owners of convertibles want to put a sticker on the roof?

I actually saw a white roadster with one on the street. At first I didn't like it at all but after a little while I could see some people might like it. Not for me, but I'm thinking about "chrome" hood vents on Stratus Grey.

IMO, the chrome bits add some elegance to the metallic colors. The black pack gives the brighter and non-metallic colors a sporty flavor. The decals just aren't right for the car.

Having Stratus Grey I can concur that the chrome "bits" does indeed add a nice touch of class (elegance) and while I'm not so sure about having chrome hood vents...it might work. Me? I think I will leave well enough alone and think the F-Type is pretty much perfect the way it is. (From a design point).

I'm still liking the idea of body colour bonnet vents. The v6 coupe has these mesh affairs which are okay, but the shape of the ones on the convertible look better.

But then, I used to have stripes on an R53 JCW...
