Makes me feel better about the $5k I've spent so far on the real deal. Doesn't do much, in my opinion, to capture the "retro" look of an early CJ or M-series. If I saw it on the street, I doubt I would even give it a second glance.

it's just a JK with a Willys sticker. I'll sink my $$$$ into the '52 and drive my TJ til the M38 is done.

It just gives them something to do at corp.
Maybe people who don't know, will see the Willys name and seek out and learn what the name is all about.
