JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Hello! I have a Deep Ocean Blue 2 dr that
I'd like opinions on replacing my fender logos
And possibly adding words to the sides of my hood in
Flat black. I'm attaching a pic and I'll be adding a
Flat back grille and a black ops flat center section
To my hood.
Are flat black logos gonna show up enough or should I just take logos off?

I thank you for your opinions.

Black Vinyl is going to be hard to see from a distance on that dark of color. But if that's what you want go for it. If you can get a higher res pic if your Jeep, I would be happy to photoshop something for you.

And welcome to the boards!

Most appreciative of the Photoshop help. Here are two high res photos of the Jeep. As I've said, a flat black grill and center hood blackout decal are being installed this weekend.

I'm wanting to see what flat black hood text (in Rubicon font) "Bruiser" and flat black fender emblems would look.

Your blue looks a little lighter in those pics, so the flat black might work. I did a quick 'shop of both pics. If you are going to go with flat black, I would replace those chrome pieces or just plasti-dip them.

Thanks so much! The mirror covers come off. The fuel door cover I was going to try to paint flat black.

I was planning on taking the circular emblem on the fender and painting it to.


What do you think overall? Yes/No?

Thanks to all. I think I'll just remove the fender decals and paint the trail rated badge flat black.


What does everyone think about the center hood blackout decal? Too much flat black or yes, install it?
