It's a Laredo so it was pretty blah all plain. Half of my emblems have been removed because of the chrome pealing off. WD-40 does wonders for removing the emblem adhesive. It needed a little something on it.
oh ok yea the picture made the ends look tipped like the end of a paintbrush u would use but i think its just the suns glare causing that.

but for the badges we talked about, here r two pics i took while out today to show how all the badges r gone, sorry the pics arnt good quality used my phone

Wow, I must say I know what I have planned for my heep..
I think it looks great without all the badges, that was my only concern with adding new pin stripes, trying to find something that would look good with the badges... Thanks for sharing!

Thought i would post an update, today my KOR steering stabilizer and True Flow air filter came in so i put that stuff on, also decided to remove the restrictive center part of the stock intake, i used some of the Spectre Performance stuff u can get at some local auto stores to basically make a straight pipe for it, tubes came chrome but painted them flat black to go with the jeep

stock and KOR comparison:


Modded stock intake:

I'll have to check out gorman sometime. I ordered some new toys for the jeep about a week ago, (rear adj. lowers, 4" front springs and 11" travel shocks for the front) so when I get those on I'll hit that place up one weekend.

Oh yeah, BFE is Butt F Egypt aka over a two hour drive.
