The great thing about Jeeps is the personalization. That part of the hood has become THE part of the vehicle to differentiate. You do you if you like it.

I personally wouldn't do it to my Jeep, but I don't own one and I certainly don't own yours, so it's not my place to say. I do think it could look neat with script that looks just like the factory RUBICON black lettering with red tracer.

Then get a nice pinup for the front quarters. :megusta:
Oh, I like that. A WWII style pinup would match the Willys theme really well, leave the decal on the hood as is.

I LOVE WWII style pinup art.

That was the style I was going to go. Found an Etsy shop that does them custom for $30. Worst case I hate it and buy the Willy’s ones again and throw those back on.

I know it says it’s for the JL, but I don’t think the font style would look out of place on my JK.

The only thing to check for is measurements. The JK hood is flatter than the JL hood overall, so the decals might be too tall to fit the sides and look right. There's got to be someone that makes them for JKs.

Ah good call. Yeah there are other shops for sure. A buddy of mine out here made his own, so he may even be able to do that for me too.

Custom might be the way.

If you wanted to change the vibe to a bit more modern/simple, maybe replicate the TJ and earlier JK Rubicon lettering. I always liked the simplicity of it...

That’s actually pretty close to how the ones he did looks.

Pic might looks weird since I zoomed and took a screenshot:

I’d probably do black with red outline or white with black outline. Don’t love the off-white color he did for his..

Black with red would be my vote. Great opportunity for a pop of color on your rig. I'd chose Whorange, but whatever would look :neat: IMO.

Why do we keeping messing with Sawce then?
It stems from Jawn on the deadzone. I generally set Balius as my handle for forums, but the admins changed it to sawce here lol.
Weren’t you originally GTI_Bomber or something? Back before those commy :mk6: mods jacked everyone’s names :trollface:

I think on these forums I’ve always been Balius then it was changed to Sawce.

My IG was originally GTIBomber, then I switched that to the current JKUBomber when I got the Jeep.
