Greetings Group:

Buying new 2016 white SRT on Monday. I've asked the seller to remove the badges: Jeep badge on hood, Grand Cherokee badges on side doors and SRT badge in right rear, and paint black the Jeep badge on the rear hatch door.

Anything else I should know before pulling the trigger?

Thanks in advance.

I would carefully inspect their debadging work....if not too late I would insist on the body shop doing the debadging which might happen anyway with the small paint job of the tailgate badge but you don't want the barely post-puberty pdi/detail kid doing it...

Agreed! I would not trust the dealer to do this! :slapfight:

Once you go black......

I do like the blacked out emblem. Is that a SLK parked next to it?

Notice both are clean, and shiny. Mine currently looks like its been baja.


Did get a DR120 spotfree for christmas...pretty rad results.


Daytona79, if you're in Daytona you're gonna love the white. Mine is brutal summertime here. I've even considered wrapping it white.

I had a black 15 viper. Those gen V vipers have zero orange peel since they are painted by hand at prefix. If you cough on it, it will scratch. I'm so glad I have an orange TA now as its beautiful and so much easier to clean (hide normal fine line scratches).

Thanks everyone. I hope to buy this week. The rear Jeep badge is indented in the body, so I guess they will either paint it black or buy a new black emblem. I was wondering if I could pay a body shop to take the badge out and smooth it out. Maybe a big job. Either way, I'm excited to buy this Jeep SRT. I've looked long and hard for a strong viable SUV-truck. In the end it was between the Toyota Tundra or the Jeep SRT.

Thx.

Same. ^^
I've had a Grand National and Trailblazer SS. Both black. My Velvet Red SRT got delivered to the dealer today and I pick it up Thursday. I like a deep black, but tired of the upkeep to keep it clean. Minnesota winters and road salt just don't mix with black.

But boy the all black SRT looks just awesome when clean! Besides it is still a Jeep, it is supposed to be a little dirty ��

Just curious, has anyone paid a body shop to Fill-In (and remove) the rear Jeep logo and badge and indentation all together? How does it look? No offense, I was never a big badge/name/logo person and I prefer to be low profile. Let people guess if it's an SRT .....
