How would I go about putting the Jeep letters back on the rear of my car so that it looks completely stock? The original ones are trashed so I know I'll have to order new ones, but how can I put them on so that it looks factory precise? Will the dealership be able to do this? A body shop?

Dealerships do it all the time, there will typically be one or two guys capable of doing it right. Make sure to ask the service writer which one of his guys has done it the most!!! Thats who you want to put them back on.

They come with alignment paper (I just made that term up) on the chrome side, so they'll be aligned right. You'll still have to find the right place to put them, but the J E E P will all be lined up properly together.

that shouldnt be too hard, considering all the little flossing scratches practically spell out "Jeep" if the light hits it just right. How long should i wait after putting the letters on to wash the car?

You can wash it immediately. Be sure to wipe down the surface before you put the stickers back on, with rubbing alcohol. Apply the stickers, and you're good to go. Be sure to apply some good pressure to them to get them to stick well.

thanks for the help...i wish the debadging process had gone better, but honestly, i'm actually glad to put the Jeep logo back on, because despite it not looking as "clean" as without the badges, the dichotomy of a clearly labeled Jeep with hemi rumble, fat tires, and center exhaust is just too cool

im not putting the Jeep logo back on the front though...i like the front to be clean...i resent even having to have a license plate up there
