for any of the Jeepers on here that have purchased the subdued (black) american flags for your rides, what size did you get and where did you get them? Please dont respond with "look it up on google". i am looking for a quality pair. dont want to risk getting some crap. If you have pics, please post also...makes it easier to judge what the size looks like actually on the Jeep. Thanks everyone!!

I went with one from Pixel Decals, as others had mentioned. Obviusly not black, but it fit right where I wanted it. Though in my case I'm not as thrilled with the color of the 'dark sand' as it's got a bit of a pinkish/salmon tone, but that is why I bought the sticker - to test the color against the Jeep itself.

I love the look of those against the Sahara tan!

Slightly off topic but still related. I just purchased some decals from pixel decals to replace the existing wrangler decals. I removed the wrangler decals and it left that sticky residue. I tried numerous things to remove it. I finally got frustrated after getting a bit off and just threw the other decals on. I tried wd-40, goo gone and a light rubbing of varsol. Nothing seemed to clean it up completely. Any tips??

Be careful with that stuff. I used it one time on a machine at work to take off some graffiti. Let it sit for a few minutes while I sprayed all the graffiti (the little shits had a field day with this particular machine). By the time I got back to the first spot and wiped it off, it stripped the panel right down to bare metal. Paint and primer gone. Dont remember the brand any more but I dont much trust graffiti remover after that.

Yeah, don't even think about using acetone. It'll remove the clear coat and the paint. It will also melt certain types of plastic, or cause the plastic to haze. So if there is anyone wondering if they can use acetone to remove smashed bugs from headlights, side markers, etc., you can't.

Be very careful with graffiti remover, I wouldn't use it on a car/jeep/truck. We use it at work in large quantities commercially so I am very familiar with it. It is very caustic. In fact if you leave it in a commercial pump up sprayer it will dissolve packing's, brass parts, and galvanizing. Just my two cents worth.

When removing decals, I have always peeled the decal off completely, and used a plastic blade and windex with amonia to get rid of the left over glue. Never had any paint issues and the glue comes right off. Ive used other products that were meant to remove glue but windex has always worked fine, and was cheaper.
