Badges or no badges? on a new 02WJ

[SolarJeep18]

I De-Badged my new 02 black Grand Cherokee at the dealer. Took all the silver letters off, all the way around. It looks stealth! Also, flipped the tires to black wall. What does the rest of the board think? :cool: :cool:

I dunno when I see vechiles with the badges removed I tend to think "ricer wannabe" or hey look it's gettho thug. Just as long as you don't throw some black highlight and tail light covers on it should be fine, but I still would have left them on there

That sounds pretty cool. Do you know how to get the pin striping off of the jeep? I also have a black ZJ. I think it would look better with out the pin stripe. It looks like there might be a clear coat on top of the pin stripe.

There won't be any clear coat over the stripes unless it was repainted by a dealer or someone. The stripes are painted on with a small roller as one of the last things before the Jeep leaves the factory. Try alchol for removing them. This works when the paint is still fresh, but I don't know how well it works on aged paint.
