Hood Decals - Love em or Hate em (Yes, you too Rubicon owners) :)

[TravisRogers]

Whenever I see a wrangler with custom stickers, I think of the guys in high school who put a Honda sticker across the top of their windshield on their lowered Civics. We’d call those “Advance Auto show cars.”

Daniel Tosh says, “Don’t put stickers on your car. In spite of what you think they say, know they read, ‘I’m poor.’”

I love them, I too went BLK/RED on my Punk'n, love the subtle contrast.

Jeeps should be fun, if you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong.

I like a hood decal. I had this decal made for my JLUR, and it has since been copied by some others.

Way to go guys--I mean you pay an additional 25/30 % more for this amazing jeep--SHOW OFF/STRUT YOUR STUFF-

There's nothing wrong with being PROUD of your choice in OFF-ROAD VEHICLES !

I dig the hood logo. I have a plan for other decal work, that I will not get into...my question is, will there be paint fade over time, and eventual decal cracking, which will lead to a darker shade where the decals were?

In the old days of single-stage paint that was a problem, but with modern base/clear systems you won't see much more than a slight gloss difference underneath the decal after a long time (years). i.e. it'll be more shiny where the decal was protecting the clearcoat. So I wouldn't worry about that much.

Punk n pie! Love it, who said you wouldn't need algebra after high school.

Agreed, took off my rubicon hood decals and “wrangler” from front quarter panel first week. I like the simple and cleaner look of less is more. Still debating on the “Jeep” on the front quarter but it reminds me of the old TJ’s with the raised Jeep in the same location

that looks pretty damn sharp right there!

YUP, now she looks like a good 'ol TJ--

Great idea

I think the side decals on the engine hood look great (stock or otherwise). I totally understand those that want a cleaner look and remove current decals too. Do what you want to your Jeep...it's ALL good mates ! I posted this in another thread and thought it also belongs here. My concept and I had a graphic artist create this with some Wizard pics from the mother of pearl inlay I had done to my guitar. It's two different wraps...the flat black hood wrap and then the Wizard attached over that.

Love it lit up.

the current red and black decals are a bit much, especially on my HellaYella.

I too have a HellaYella JLR, and I don’t know how I feel about all of the ketchup mixed into the mustard.

I’d like to see a redux or the graphic trimmed in a common Mopar blue color - but then I’d start taking red pieces off and shooting them blue to match. IDK.

If Paragon still existed in PA, I'd replace Rubicon with Paragon... Rausch Creek just isn't as much fun as Paragon nor as cool along the side of the hood

Ah Paragon. What a place.

I took the Unlimited stickers on the sides off all of my jeeps, just leaving the Jeep logo. The dealer was kind enough to not place one of their stickers on the jeep although it's on the tire cover I've yet to remove. I did order a custom hood sticker that I plan on replacing the Rubicon sticker with someday. I'm not a fan of red in the Rubicon. At the end of the day, it's your jeep. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Unless they are buying it for you or making your payments, they don't matter. It's yours. Make it yours.
