I would have been the ultimate poser if I bought the Rubicon. First thing I would have done is to powdercoat the wheels black, change the dashboard color from red, blackout the grill, and remove the Rubicon logo from the hood, so as to masquerade as a Willys.

Actually, the reason I ordered a Willys is mostly cosmetic due to the list above...I love the Rubicon capability but am not a fan of some of the appearance options.

If you're going to disguise your vehicle as a different model, it's way more fun to pretend it's a lesser one. Like removing 5.0 badges from a Mustang GT or Hellcat/Demon badges from a Challenger. Surprise!

To put it bluntly, who cares? I see women at the gym all the time who are trying to pass off “after-market mods” for OEM equipment. Anyone who is the know knows what is fake and what is real ….
If you can touch ‘em they’re real
I have no idea where your gym is, but trust me, you should not do that.

Yep— put 283 badges on my L79 Nova much to the embarrassment of some losers who thought it was a joke race!

Well I guess changing hood, flares, grill, badges, and steel bumper group is totally against the rules then ?

Almost looks like a fake Xtreme Recon package. Now I'm pissed. I'm paying good money for my XR package. You shouldn't be able to copy. Keep your dam small stock tires and stuff on!!

Sarcasm..? Sounded about as ridiculous as this thread!!

Seriously though awesome Jeep.?

I think I'm going to go all the way and get fake 392 hood decals and dream on and on and on.
