Let me start by saying this decal is exactly what my plain Jeep needed. The matte black vinyl looks sleek against the paint, and the 'anti-theft device' joke about manual transmissions never fails to get a chuckle at red lights. Application was surprisingly easy - just peel, stick, and smooth out bubbles with the included squeegee.

I've had it through two car washes now, and the edges haven't peeled at all. What impressed me most was removing a test piece - absolutely no residue like some cheap decals leave behind. The vinyl quality feels substantial, not that flimsy sticker material that fades after one summer.

Now for the elephant in the room - my decal arrived missing the number '2' from the gear pattern. It's subtle enough that most people don't notice (I've only had one fellow Jeep owner point it out), but once you see it, you can't unsee it. Kind of adds to its charm though? Like an inside joke for manual transmission drivers.

Would I buy it again? Absolutely - this little $10 decal has sparked more conversations than my $500 bumper ever did. Just maybe double-check your gear numbers when it arrives!
