hmm why not paint the jeep emblems instead? i think that would look pretty slick

....now that i say that i kinda wana do that lol..but what would i use to re stick the badges on? any special procedure to re badging??

all u use is some 3m tape to get em back on but you gotta trim it its easy to paint them thats what i was gonna do but i think debadge looks better its all about personal preference to paint them just buy 1000 grain sand paper lightly scuff them and paint a few coats of course you remove the badges first to do that some goo be gone and fishing line work fine but take your time doing it

yes i realize i did that in a weird kinda order oh well its like a code lol

lol the fun is putting the code in order! lol

By trim I'm going to guess you mean de-badge? so how does your KK look de-badged put some picks up bro! lol and to your question on me painting my deflectors lol...cops love jeeps down here in Az i guess. never once been pulled over for those lol.

pics will be up 2maro i wanna do the blackout reflectors but i know i wont pass inspection and when i had my gp i got pulled over for vinyl and tine all the time the fines add up i ended up taking all the stuff off waist of 300 bux as far as that goes i wish i dident have to drive threw the burbs all the time country cops dont give a darn and neither do the citys hell even the states dont mind just thoes little nowhere suburb cops that want to be "diehard" oh well cant win em all i still cant decide what to do with the trail rated badge cause if i paint or powdercoat whatever id have to do it would mess up the writing.........im lost ha ha

well i think you could maybe get away with the deflectors...like for a cop to notice the deflectors, they'd have to be accustomed to the KKs and the styling. Honestly the reason i havent gotten pulled over is because they dont know those are suppose to be deflectors lol.. i would VHT them and if worse comes to worse you just remove it to avoid the fine. and VHT is only 10$

but its yoru call bro i don't want you getting fined because "I" think you can get away with it lol..

You may want to find a pin-striper if your thinking about painting them... they tend to have a much steadier hand than I do. I think it would look kinda cool with the background painted the same color of the car. I also debaged my KK the first week I had it... I can't stand waxing around that stuff.
