That was vinyl wrapped? Where'd you get it done? Much better and I have access to ny and nj.
I got it done in a place called "the custom shop" in queens, NY they are professionals and they do everything on anything, do tons of wranglers for years, great and friendly staff and very knowledgeable, good prices and you can check their reviews 5 stars.
Funny story: the first time i went to them and told them i was going to use plastic dip for chrome delete he sort of laugh; in sum and substance he told me to do it proffesionally or dont do it at all in a nice way though and he was right. Looks factory like rubicon. The silver emblems i chose to replace them with rubicon ones because they come dark gray and red accents. He wanted me to order oem silver ones and he would paint those if i went that route. I endorse them, i feel im not being taken advantage of and the owner is always there at the desk down to earth dude. Here is their info.

Thanks, I have a place in nj called Wrap Specialties. They did work on another vehicle. Waiting for our 2.0 turbo ordered 2/14. Hope it's worth the wait.

I also use Hotrides llc in nj for other things that aren't vinyl. Also good prices and very honest. Great for any audio upgrades. Speak to Dan if you need. Did my audio in 2 vehicles and they are amazing.

They do everything bumper to bumber (lights, wheels, lift, anything custom, katzkin leather) you name it. Ask for brett (owner) and say Elvis sent you. He will work with you. Ill keep your place in mind in jersey area. Thanks

I like your thinking, but my inserts are white!

The grill looks great, but what bumper is that? It looks like DV8 FS-18, if so, did it bolt up without issues?

Thanks! Yes, bolted up fine. That is a tuffy flip up plate that I got off Amazon if you were wondering about that. Just drilled a couple holes over the space that was intended for a 20" light bar. DV8 quality was good.

I am not a car power washer, I am more of a garden hose in bucket of water guy. It cost $100 and has a lifetime warranty by the installer so I guess it really doesn’t matter if it power washes off.

At first - I was really gung ho about painting or dipping my inserts black like the Rubicon. But after my 4th day of ownership, I am liking how the silver inserts standout, and pair up with the emblems and the wheels. I dunno. I think I'll sport these for a while. What y'all think?

Finally decided I couldn’t stand for the silver trim anymore. Hard to this this to a brand new car. Oh well..

Turned out well. We’ll see about durability as time goes.

That’s flat black? Why does that look so glossy? I was thinking flat black wouldn’t look good with shiny paint on the rest of the Jeep.. did u use glossifier or something?
