Default Star or no star?

Undecided on whether I like the look of the original Jeep star on my JK. I didn't want to go with the full Willy set, just something small, but respectful of the original. What do you think?

Yep, I wish I could say the star on my Jeep was original, but I had seen mmccurdy's pic sometime back and liked it. Now I have to play catch up (lift, bigger tires, etc...). Your rig looks great .

I like the star as well, but my personal preference would be to drop it a bit closer to the Wrangler sticker. This partially coincides with Toad's idea that the circular motif with the trail rated badge is a bit strong. With it lower, it would help balance out the visual association - just my opinion.

As far as the star not being respectful of the original Wil - a symbol can always be interpreted in many ways, what matters is how you view it yourself.

I like it... Keep it.

Was thinking about putting one on mine, but I have a black jeep and don't know if I would like it or not.... Thoughts?
