Bull, attached is a page from Mina. While your mind is churning how about the supercharged badge or the Mina Gallery badge? One more thought on yor "tail" end, the chrome taillight surrounds but paint them BLACK! <---that would set if off IMHO.

Thanks all for the compliments, but you had to go get my mind churning again didn't ya 
! I have another "R" badge coming that isn't blocky, its just an R. That will replace the original seeing as there is a slight peel.
I guess I can look into one of those thin supercharged emblems that are on the XK I believe and put it on the left side. We will see how it looks once i get the new R badge on there. The purpose of doing this was to clean up the rear a little bit if it looks "unbalanced" thats a problem.

Nope too big, its 6 inches, and you probab;y would not be able to have it "leaping"...........it would be parallel. You can try, but its alot of money wasted if it doesn't fit right. Go to the dealer, see if they have any laying around, and see if it would fit.......then buy online.

Well somewhat, to be honest I have more low end torque than I know what to do with. You have a pic of your setup from underneath? How much did it cost, and how is the sound?

@bull
what if you put it on the left side where the s type badge is or something?
the small leaper looks like one of those sperm things you see on those science channels, it looks sorta like a human sperm squigly thing

like I said before, the large leaper is 6 inches, the left side where the stype was is 4 inches. I have explained this to you a couple times. Pretty sure it looks EXACTLY like a Jaguar leaping and not a "science channel sperm". What are you 12
I would not lose the R

Ya thanks man, I am just going to put that new R badge on and keep it as is. Was noticing the other day in the dunkin donuts drive through a nice Benz with just the Star in the middle and model on the left side. Alot of cars just have a thier emblem in the middle and a model designation on one of the sides. Done and Done....

Crappy photos but you get the idea. These new R badges actually look ALOT better than the "block" style ones that came on the S. I was happily surprised, highly recommended.
P.S. I dont have the time to white out my license plate, so for all you random internet creepers, I do own 2 Pits, a Glock 9, and an MP-5

.... Along with two 175-pound Rottweilers, a 12-foot black mamba, a meat cleaver, a Swiss army knife, and Gort The Robot from "The Day The Earth Stood Still"....
I have to admit, Bull, those new R badges look sharp. But I don't envy you having to try to keep a black car clean. I had a black 1988 Jeep Cherokee and while it was beautiful when it was clean, it stayed clean for only about 20 miles regardless of how nice the weather was....
