Default Jeep altitude emblem

Anyone know where we can get some blacked out Jeep Altitude emblems?

I doubt they're available yet, but I'd just call the dealer's parts department.

It does look sharp.

or you could remove yours and paint it your self. The hard part is putting it back on and not being able to see the doubled sided tape.

To De-Chrome a badge is pretty easy actually, takes some time. Get a container that is large enough to hold the badge, add some bleech and put the badge in it. Enough bleech to cover the badge. Check this daily and as the bleech becomes black, dump out and put in new bleech. Check badge from day to day. This process takes time but in the end its the best way to remove the chrome plateing. I have done it several times in the past.

I agree, that blacked out emblem looks nice !


Be nice to find a way to get the tape on there so you can see it. Perhaps I need thinner double sided tape.

I saw an Altitude package in person a couple of days ago. The Jeep badge has a nice satin black metallic finish to it. I agree with the op. These may be worth buying (over painting our chrome ones).

id buy one if they were resonable.....but for some strange reason I can see them being priced high. Example...rear Jeep (Mopar) tailight guards in black Price $230.00 CDN. WOW for what....... $5.00 in material. STUPID price and gougeing if you ask me.

I agree... Although I did find a used pair of taillight guards on Craigslist for $50, and I really like them.
I also purchase two OEM "Jeep" badges on eBay for the sides of my Wrangler, and they were $35 each... Ouch.

Yeah, I don't think you'd ever really get it back on straight. And then you would know it wasn't quite right and that would slowly drive you insane.
