Default Hood decals… keep or remove?

I’m the new owner of a 2015 JKU Sahara. I am seeking advice from the all knowing JK forum. Should I keep the hood decals or remove them?

Being that it's a vehicle that's 10 years old, you might find that the body paint has faded a tad, and under the decal is a slightly darker red.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m just not fond of the white. I think it’s killing my vibe. 😂

y, not a huge fan of that particular decal myself. Any other color than red you'd probably be in the clear, but with that red the odds are high of fading. i think I would remove maybe that top tiny piece on the cowling first to see. if that was just gone in general, I don't think it would look totally strange....of you could find some other decal to cover that small part up. basically do a test section before that hood.

you could even remove the "trail rated" badge to see what it's like under that, cuz easy to replace that 3M tape and stick it back on right where it was.
