I took off the Wrangler Unlimited sticker so far. It looks much better. I’ll try this for a while and see if I want to make more changes.

I'd just plasti-dip the badging.
I like my Willys wrangler sticker just cause it's mildly different with the flag.

But I'd definitely plasti-dip with flat black.

I don’t usually ask opinions but this minor cosmetic emblem thing is something I need another point of view on. See pic below.

So I’ve got a 19 Sahara. The emblems and the Wrangler decal have always annoyed me, not individually, but all three don’t match from the factory.

The Sahara emblem is a satin kinda silver, the JEEP is chrome, and the Wrangler Unlimited is both a sticker and it has black lettering.

I’d like to leave at least one emblem. I’ve considered plasti dipping the Sahara and Jeep emblems. I also thought about leaving only the Wrangler Unlimited because it would at least match my red and black colors the most.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I've debadged my Willys entirely except for "Jeep" badges in black on the front quarters and the Trail Rated badge. It's strictly aesthetics for me, I always pursue the cleanest look possible. Generally I've removed every mark except the manufacturer's main badge on every vehicle I've owned.

PS Don't get me started on the horrific, front and centre tailgate and trunk lid markings people seem to be so keen on: "E L A N T R A" "GLADIATOR" "RAM" lol.. I can't be the only one.

leave the jeep and get rid of the others, at least that is my opinion. The wrangler sticker was removed from mine within 5 minutes of getting home from the dealer.
Same here, left the jeep badge only. Hate these cheap ass wrangler stickers!

Not a fan of overkill decals. I normally debadge if there are too many. Only thing I got rid of on mine so far is the silly dealer decals they put near the door handle on the tailgate.

I ended up getting a set of decals to change up the "Jeep" on mine.

I don't mind the "wrangler" decal. It's matte finish lettering is barely noticeable on black paint when dirty ?

Just my opinion leave them. I never understood not having trail rated on drivers side only

They look great! How did you rettach the plasti-dipped ones? And how did you keep the spacing even/"correct"?
