Distressed Flag Rear Window Decals

[Ponce]

I am looking into getting a pair of the full rear window distressed flag decals. Looking of recommendations of good quality decals. In my search I've seen them from the low $20s to $75 for a pair. I don't mind spending for quality, but don't want to spend money just to spend it.

and to this question - has anyone found any for 2-doors? I have seen them for the 4-door, but for some reason haven't been able to find a flag sticker for 2-door jeeps ;(

The biggest difference you'll notice (and likely related to price) is the type of vinyl the decal is made of.
Calendered vinyl is typically thicker (I'm talking a few mils not anything substantial), which causes it to be a bit stiffer and more abrasion resistant. This will usually be the cheaper option.
Cast vinyl is thinner and tends to hold it's color longer. This will usually be the more expensive option.

For the back-side windows, the thickness won't matter because they're flat enough that you won't have any issues applying it. The thinner cast material is a better choice if you're doing something that goes over a contour (or several contour changes).
The only thing that really matters for your application is the longevity of the vinyl. How much time is your Jeep exposed to the environment? Is it garage kept, does it sit outside all day, do you do narrow trail rides that have branches sliding down the side of your Jeep?

My recommendation is to compare what type of vinyl they're using and pick the one that best suits your needs. If your Jeep lives outside day and night, maybe consider cast so it lasts longer. If you drive through the woods a lot and your Jeep is pin-stripped, I'd look at calendered so it's less likely to get scratched. If the expensive one and the cheap one are made of the same material, get the cheap one.

And FWIW, I have a commercial plotter/cutter and make my own decals (sorry guys not planning on doing any custom orders). I only say that so you know my input is coming from a place of experience not just a random online guess.

Mountains and some extras on my '18

Flag and rocker panels on my Ram

And a graveyard scene on my '22 (My wife named it Reepers, and yes we know it would typically be spelled with an "a")
