Today I was copied on an email from the light pod manufacturer to the Jeep accessories retailer with a tracking number for the initial LED shipment, so I know those are on the way to the retailer. I don't know what the status of all of the brackets are but I believe the retailer placed the manufacturing order for those a few weeks ago, so everything is in motion for a release soon.

A week or two ago I posted some photos I took when I tried a vintage Kaiser-era Jeep emblem on the JK grille. It was worth a try, but it didn't look quite right. Here's one of those photos:
One of the things I thought was wrong with the look was that the emblem was too large for the JK grille.
I came across a scaled-down replica the other day, and to me this one looks pretty nice (the front fenders are off because I'm in the middle of painting them):
The replica is cast metal and chromed just like the original - it's a pretty high quality piece. Here's a comparison between the original and the scaled-down replica:

This morning I shot the flat fenders with Deep Cherry Red Pearl base coat color followed by clear.
Probably will reinstall them on the Jeep tomorrow.

This afternoon the clear has cured enough to handle so I took the fenders off the painting stands and removed the masking which kept the red paint off the black fiberglass on the inside. I could have installed them this afternoon but I'll let the clear cure overnight and do it tomorrow.

Too Pretty to get Dirty, or scratched ! I think the Scaled Down Badge would look good on the side panel, where the "Trail Rated" badge is. The grill location is "original", but like it uncluttered. Jerry Can holders come off mine in Winter, so would be a Seasonal thing
