Just another slooow day on the forum. Rubi hoods are fake anyway. I happily swapped mine for a non and got $500.

By fake hood you mean the non-functional decorative vents?

OK...I guess I get it,but what does it really matter? I de-badged my Willys because I only identify as driving a Jeep,and who the hell doesn't recognize that?. It's a fricking vehicle, and doesn't define me. Nothing wrong with pride in what you drive,but really? Why separate what could be united?

I remember swapping the cosmetic hood vents on my Challenger RT with the functional ram air vents.…thought that was cool, and was a cheap functional upgrade.

The Rubicon look nice though….

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 always thought they looked cool but when I realized that they were closed plastic inserts with no functionality, they look a lot less so.

i am trying to figure out what’s worse, caring about a non-rubi having the sticker or caring about the sticker at all…

No different then Mercedes or BMW drivers slapping AMG or M letters on their cars.

I'm guessing I had a few stick up their nose at me because I had Mecedes hub caps on my Ford Taurus.

But I didn't do it to pretend I was driving a Mercedes; the stupid Ford hubcaps kept falling off so I found an set of hubcaps that wouldn't come off everytime I hit a bad pothole.

And those stupid Ford hupcaps were super expensive to replace. They acutally looked better then the Mercedes caps but I couldn't afford to keep replacing them.

I met a person who said they had a Jeep Rubicon. Turned out it had four doors. #FakeRubicon

(Obviously this is a joke)

And I've been trying to figure out why anyone would throw good money at half a Jeep.

(Maybe just joking too)
