Hey guys. I've got an all blacked out JK that needs some decals. I'm kinda torn which way to go here. I want something on the hood and side panels. Any ideas? ?

Go with a matte black color. The contrast will look pretty good.

I was definitely thinking a matte color.
Like a gun metal maybe. Keep it dark but just add enough so it can be seen.
What about some wording where it normally says Rubicon on hood?
How about a jurassic park theme?

I am indifferent to the wording. Probably because I'm not crafty enough. As for the color. I did this on my Dodge Ram. It's amazing how a subtle little change like a monochromatic style can be added to a vehicle and people notice. I recall other Dodge Ram owners asking me if it was a special edition. I only did it as I had a new tailgate and the dealer made the mistake of applying a Matte black label on the black tail gate. I liked it and bought the lettering for the side as well. I think black on black works well. I have the Sahara tan. I don't think it would look as good on the tan.

I've got a blacked out rubicon. I changed the "Rubicon" hood decal and added some decals on the side panel in front of the doors. All of them are matte black. I love the look. I can take some pics if you want.

I like that invader doubleD.
Yes would love to see the pics of the black on black. Matte black decals might be the way to go.

Fortunately with black you can go as mild or wild as you like. I have red reflective on mine and love it. There are many matte colors available now which look nice on black
