Probably wouldn't cost too much for a body shop to paint match them. Or powder coater if you wanted to go that route.
Hmmm. Interesting idea.... !

I blacked out everything on my Rubicon because I think the red accents look dumb. Do what you think looks good!

IMO it’s a bad look. Like hemi stickers on a V-6 charger.
i disagree, but if the OP slapped on a 392/Mojave hood and 392 decals on the side of the hood scoop, then that would be lame. I think the OP should paint the tow hooks gold and make it uniquely theirs.

We hate red so we replaced the red front and rear hooks on my wife’s Rubicon with orange hooks to match the stripe. Then we replaced the trail rated badge with one from a 392 for a better color. Then the hood decal went. She wanted to go with brown because the orange was too much for her. She did not like the big letters, so we used the older font, in brown.

Personally, I'm very sensitive to the colors of tow hooks and decorations on Jeeps and about people who worry about them. I can't sleep most nights just thinking about what it all means. I guess I need to drink more.

I didn't like the blue tow hooks on my Rubicon 4xe, so I swapped them for some black ones from a fellow forum member who had a Sahara 4xe. Do what you feel is aesthetically pleasing.

I've got a Snazzberry JLU Sport (Altitude) that has all black trim (no chrome or silver). It came with black tow hooks, but as I'm switching out the OEM front plastic bumper with a steel Rubicon take-off, I'm considering switching out the red Rubicon hooks for some gold/bronze 392 take-off hooks. My question is, does the Jeep community frown on switching tow hook colors, since they are clearly (originally) associated with a particular model? I'm not wanting to try and pass off my sport as a 392.... I just like how the gold would accent my color scheme.
Thoughts?
The answer in short is "Probably Not". The " RubiSnobs" might have, but the 392 owners are too few to care. Also, they are having too much fun with that 392 under the hood, to care about the color of a little tow hook.

How many of us had or currently have takeoff wheels, tires, and suspensions from rubicons on their sports? Same thing- just parts that make make your Jeep perform or look better. My sport came with the full takeoff package from the dealer for free so the could move the red ‘18 Jeep out of the sea of ‘19 stingray ones. They even installed the side steps off a Sahara. Always wanting the red tow hooks was the first peek into the rabbit hole for me.

I'm in the middle of my red swap out. Still waiting on decals. I painted the tow hooks myself and ordered the badges.
