I was recently thinking about doing this. Considering just the HEMI badge without the 5.7 though. I just like the looks of the black HEMI with the chrome around it and thought it would balance the 4x4 and Overalnd badge on the other side. There's a long thread about this on this forum somewhere, with pictures from those that did it.
I know. That makes me want to put the badge on even more. I was driving near a Prius a few weeks ago and they were driving very slow. I slammed on the gas as I raced by to make sure they heard the Hemi.
Having badges only on the left does not look symetrical so you have the option of removing what was there or putting something on there to balance it out.
I would love to add a Simple V6 to the rear of my car to balance out the chrome on the rear hatch.
While I am talking about symetry I would love to add the dual exhaust to my car as well to make the rear more symetrical with two tips HA HA.
Maybe I will wait until the 8 speed trannies surface and trade in for a HEMI
Overland badge, 4x4 badge, Jeep logo on the brow, and then HEMI? It's going to start to look like magnets on the side of refrigerator back there.
I bought my Laredo with the OR1 package. The factory forgot to put on the Trail Rated badge (it's even listed on the sticker as supposed to be there). I was going to bug the dealer about it, but I decided I like the cleaner look.
+1, his prices are good and cheaper than the local stealership but there is the one piece 5.7/Hemi that amazon is cheaper and with my prime it's free shipping.
I remember when mine looked that clean. (for all of 2 days after I bought it)
Then mud/salt/slush/winter season hit, and I don't even know what colour it is anymore.

In the San Francisco area people are into "hybrids" ... my hearing must be bad 'cause I thought I they were saying "hemi"!
And as "andhy" says, it's YOUR vehicle so do whatever makes you happy. I have put the "5.7 L / HEMI" on my WK2, and I have seen others on the road who have done the same. I have a picture at http://jeepgarage.org/album.php?albumid=83&pictureid=921. The 5.7 letters match the 4X4, and the HEMI complements the Overland to maintain symmetry.

I just ordered chrome license plate brackets that say Jeep on the top and HEMI on the bottom. Had to get rid of those ugly dealer advertisement brackets.
They are vertically aligned with the "4x4" and "Overland" on the driver side. The Overland oval is taller than the small HEMI badge. But of course one can move them around a little to make it look different, and maintain the symmetry.
