I really don't like e chrome leapers I guess because they stand out too much but in black on black, it works.
As I said, no harm was done to the cat so it's easy to reverse!! Attachment 45379

Lose the leaper...IMHO. Takes away from the vadar look you are going for.

Actually, this was kinda a joke. I cut the leaper and put on with badge tape!!
When I have the car buffed, it's coming off!! Maybe!! Depends how many people point at it as I drive!!!!
At least it's black on black. And how many black leapers do you see?!?!?!

I like the total look. Leaper and all. It's your car, keep her as you like it.

Here's a close up. It's the same as the body color.
