Because it’s a lie. People shouldn’t accept lies.
And the people who know a little about vehicles always snicker and laugh about you behind your back too!

Yes, the 1941 hood emblem and black side vinyl is cool looking...and isn't a lie.

I did black hood decal (no 1941) to reduce hood glare because I like to sit high and the glare is brutal off the hood.

I would also do the 1941 side decal, going to keep my eyes open for that decal

One thing to keep in mind is that the Rubicon has the high fenders and the Moab does not. The Rubicon high fenders sit 1” higher than the standard fenders that the Moab has, which means you can fit a 2” taller tire with the same fender gap. If you are planning on putting a lift and bigger tires, it’s my opinion that 35’s look small on a Rubicon with 2” lift because of the high fenders. When I lifted my Jeep, I browsed this forum extensively looking at pictures and thought the lifted Rubicons with 35’s looked disproportionate. So, if you are planning on lifting your Jeep and getting bigger tires, it’s my opinion that Moab, Sahara, and Sport = 35’s and Rubicon = 37’s, assuming a 2” Mopar lift.

I went with 37’s on my Rubicon and it looks proportionate but they are a big tire. My Jeep looks pretty sweet though.

The below thread has a lot of pictures showing both tire sizes.

So I went the route of the Sport S with a bunch of MOD's. No fake stickers included haha.
Presently I have a MC 3.5in lift, 35in trail grapplers, Hauk bumpers and rails, Quake halo's, and warn zeon 10 winch. I couldn't afford a Rubi and Mods so I picked a sport S and mods. My axles will never be as strong but I live in Florida so all I need is to regear them and put 37's or 38 in tires and I'll be set:)

Which MC did you go with? (Did you get the full gamechanger with all of the control arms?) Do you notice any sag in the rear? Looks nice! I have the same model and color and have been trying to look into MC for the sport, but everyone else seems to have a rubi, lol. Thanks in advance

So I bought the Game changer suspension 2.5/3.5 Rocksport edition. It was a 2300 dollar package.
Its got coils, and shocks, and all kinds of arms that I have no idea what they do but if you look up the package it should explain more. I don't see any sag in the rear but I did have it professionally installed, maybe others had issues if they installed on there own?
I would totally recommend the MC package that I brought. I feel like it came out perfect.
Hope this helps.
