Beel...I had mine done at a local sign shop...they can pretty much put anything on vinyl...any color...I brought them a pic of my old CJ with the letters and I measured how big I wanted them on the quarter panel...they did the rest for $5 whole dollars...
It took me 15 minutes max to take the stickers off and install the new ones...
The vinyl is 3M and has a "predicted" life span of 7 years...long enough for me...

Don't most of the Jeep catalogs sell those "Jeep"stickers as factory replacements for the CJ's, YJ's TJ's etc? Any reason you couldn't just stick one of those on the side of the JK? I've been thinking of replacing the "Wrangler Unlimited" sticker on my JK with a "Jeep" sticker like the previous models like you've done.
Here's the one they sell on Quadratec ... http://www.quadratec.com/products/55010_0X_PG.htm

So I really didn't like the cheesy "X" decal that came on my JK (took delivery Wednesday -- woo!), and I really like my Jeep Green and how it reminds me of the old Willy's, etc. so I had the idea to do a Willy's-inspired star there instead. I put together something in Illustrator and a local shop (TAP Plastics) cut the decals for $5 each. Not too bad. I forgot to take pics when the sides were clean (doh) but here's a couple shots of how it turned out:

I'd be interested in the logo some of the other posts are talking about (the one from the deuce or whatever)... anyone got a pic?

Speaking of some of the graphics options, did anyone see the episode of Miami Ink and their JK Rubicon?
I searched for a picture but couldn't find any. They have a black Unlimited Rubicon as their "shop vehicle". Right after picking it up they took it down and had a dragon head air-brushed all across the hood. It was all in white across the black hood, and the work was amazing. I'm not a big graphics guy but this looked very cool. The guy that did the work was a true artist.
Also, thanks to everyone for their advice on finding graphics and where to get them done. Once I get my Jeep I'll take a couple samples down to some print shop and see what I can get made up.

No problem, McCurdy. I was just being a dork. I'm gonna rock out with my Autobots sticker, anyway! I'd put a "Hound" sticker on the side, but nobody would know what it meant.
I was thinking about putting "RUBIWHAT?" on the sides of the hood, before I switched my order. Now I'm probably gonna remove what's on there, and replace it with "TELLICON". (Hey, that even sounds reminiscent of DEFCON...mmmmm...)

Mccurdy already knows that I love the star he created.
I pm'd him a while ago about it.
Now, does anyone have a U.S. flag on display? Especially
on Jeep green. I think that would look cool also.
I'm thinking of getting the Mccurdy star and a flag in magnet
form to mix and match.

Miami Ink
I saw the airbrush job on the JK from Miami Ink, the guy that did it was the one that started the "real flames" paint job ... he is amazing. The only prob. is that it would cost you about 6 Jeep payments ( depending on your credit score ... lol) vs. the 5 jr. bacon cheeseburgers from Wendys that the vinyl cost.

There are also a ton of stickers at http://www.military-graphics.com/index.html, if you're into that kind of thing. I like the rescue stickers, but I haven't figured out how to incorporate them in my mind.
