Re: Jeep Liberty ... Hood lettering
at the risk of sounding like a smart-***, I might suggest getting a real
Jeep, i.e., ;one engineered and styled by A.M. C. why not just paint the
letters the same color as the liberty....

plastic(?) Ridiculous!! ...I thought Jeeps were supposed to be built

What you pay - what they pay = what they keep.
You think that's bad, check out the bumper on most new trucks.
They aren't solid metal, just sheet chrome and plastic over foam.
You can't even stand on the Chevy bumper without deflecting it.
On my old C-10 you could stand/jump on the bumper and the worst
thing that could happen is you leave a bit of dirt on the chrome.
It's truly sad.

Re: Jeep Liberty ... Hood lettering
At the risk of being a bigger smart-***, I might suggest getting a "real
Jeep", i.e., one engineered and styled by ******.
Seriously, this is silly. A Liberty is a real Jeep.
Cosmetic flaws with trim or paint are usually covered under factory
warranty. Visit your dealer's service department for assistance. It may
not cost anything (out of your pocket) to fix.
Best regards,
Dave Rose
Cactus Cowboy
Big Wonderful Wyoming
'49 ****** Pickup (parts truck)
'62 ****** Pickup 4WD 226
'98 XJ Sport
