Look at this underhood...

And real carbon interior upgrade.

Sweet!

 

Dont see the point of the badge under the bonnet and plenty of peeps on here with cf interior

 

I don't think the point is to show it off just a quiet mod

 

I would be interested in seeing a wider shot of the CF, if you'd be willing to post a few more from the cockpit!

 

Do you have a pic of the other type of CF used for interior? The picture you posted looks a lot like what I have with the factory CF package but I could be wrong, or it could just be that I have the same option as what you posted.

 

Yes yo do, i meant its rare

 

Here is mine - real of faux?

 

looks EXACTLY the same as mine (stock)?

 

Mine is stock - wondering if the OP is stock or other. Hard to tell from pics but the OP's look much better.

 

This is stock.

You can't think stock is carbon fiber. I mean really?

It's not even carbon fiber look but more of an etched aluminum engraved with a strange fiber pattern. Even a carbon fiber wrap looks a bit similar to real but what Jag does isn't even close.

Go look at some real carbon fiber.

It's the difference between Tang and fresh squeezed orange juice. The difference between formica press on vinyl flooring squares and marble. C'mon guys.

 

Yeah, i would have preferred brushed aluminum over the faux CF stuff jag did, or something else..

 

i have a brand new set of the OEM CF interior trim for sale in classifieds

 

Not fully understanding why you would want a badge under the hood?

 

Well lets see if I can explain it.

It probably wouldn't be the first mod one would do for sure but occasionally dealers do mods to set their car apart from the masses. It's a feature. It serves no function but, hey it looks good when the hood is open. Again, dealers do this kind of thing as sales tactics to set a car apart to give the prospective buyer the aura of value when comparing cars. If you happened to be looking for this car, especially at two dealerships, one could opt to buy this one because of the underhood treatment given everything else being equal.

I happen to think it looks pretty sharp and had Jag chosen to do this on every F-Type they made, we wouldn't be asking why. We would come to expect the fact that Jag did a great job with their details, even under the hood.

Doesn't bother me a bit and in fact, if I were comparing two cars, this could indeed be a tie-breaker, all else being equivalent.

 

It wasnt a dealer mod, the guy who owns it painted the underside black and then put the badge on it.
I personally think it looks silly with a badge there but each to their own.

 

You could simply always drive with the hood in the closed position and not lose any sleep. Seems to be one of those rare mods that really don't need an opinion.

 

If you were showing off the engine a lot, it'd be a nice touch - like a cf engine cover. It also shows some attention to detail which is always nice. One of those things you dont expect but when you find them you think "they thought of everything!"

 

Exaaaaaactly, Jeez.

If Jag would have thought to do it themselves, everybody would be like "yes!" We'd have multiple posts and threads on here with the topic of "Hey, whats the part # for the replacement cat sticker for the underside of my hood? Mine is slightly discolored and needs replacing."

 

I perfectly understand why you've done it and think why the hell not

 

If you're referring to me, I dont have it. That's not my car. I was merely showing the mod to u guys
