Default Need your input on this detail.

Ladies and Gents, One of the things that bothered me the most on Jeep JKs, was that Jeep Badge on the front grill. In fact, I always said that the first thing I'd do to my Jeep, is remove that darn thing.

Then a few friends to which I shared my intention, pointed out the fact that every auto maker had their badge up front, and so should Jeep.

Well, 9 months after the purchase that badge is still there. But I felt like adding a twist to it and use one of those Ebay Red Jeep badge, that would perfectly match with the red trail ready and Rubicon 10th anniversary side badges.

I received the thing yesterday and just couldn't do it !!!! Instead, I took pics of the Jeep with its stock Chrome Jeep badge, and some with the new red badge temporarily stuck to it, to share with you in hopes that you can help me make up my mind.

By the way, still open at the idea of ruinning NO badge at all up front. Geez..... who in the world can look at this thing and not know what it is:

So.... Leave it chrome, go ahead with red or......???

I prefer the chrome if you decide to keep the badge. The red just seems off for some reason.

I vote chrome over red, but black would look better imo.

I say no badge. First thing I did was take off decals, stickers, and badges.

For some reason, the first thing that came to mind with the red badge was the old AMC/Jeep days.
