Default Black JEEP logo for front grille? Can't find this anywhere! Also, doing a few mods!

this is my 2009 X. its only mod so far, is procomp 7089 16's and 33x12.50 mickey thompson baja MTZ's. i currently am stationed at elmendorf AFB, AK for the Air Force.


anyway. i'm ordering some stuff today, clear turn signal covers, locking black gas cap cover, hood latch lock, some grab handles, and i might order a 2.5" lift if i can find one i like. anyway i was looking for the black JEEP hood logo, saw it on a post a while back but couldn't find it online. searched the forums, searched google. maybe i just suck at searching. but where can i find these? i'm goin for the black silver and red color scheme.. red stuff inside and under the jeep basically. so anyone help would be much appreciated. now off to search for lift kits...

you could just pop off the jeep letters and spray them down with some bedliner. it'd only cost you the 5 or so dollars for the spray can.

eh i dont know if i'd ruin the letters trying to get them off. ive seen a few with a black chrome looking lettering, but i can't find them.. it'd just be something nice to add.

just ordered a TF leveling kit, black locking gas cover, hood lock, clear turn signal and fender lenses, some floor mats and some red oh-shit handles. can't wait...

I pried them off in the heat, removed the back tape, make sure you mark on the jeep where the letters go (and make sure not to get the first "e" switched with the second "e") and painted them Black with a rattle can. Put some indoor outdoor double sided 3m tape and put them back on. actual work 10 minutes plus 1 hour for drying time.

I just bought one from the dealer, I did a write up, and bed lined it. Looks sick! I'll try to put up a pic, but the dam application keeps crashing.
