    I wanted to name her Jenny the Renny, but with the stormtrooper look, I think Leia is more fitting. I like the stormtrooper look it inherently has in this trim model; keeping that in mind with future mods. Missing hood decal and trailhawk trail rated badges made it seem like it wasn't really a deserthawk. I already have some mods in the mail and waiting until summer to put lift kit and bigger tires on her. Thinking about the Avid 2.5" lift and then Eibach springs, but I haven't settled on what tires to go with. Definitely want to do Avid front and rear bumpers, but that will be awhile from now.

    So far...Rugged Ridge Rain Deflectors and cargo cover, Alpha Vinyl Hood Decal (can't buy Deserthawk one online anywhere), sunglass storage-oh sh!t handle mod, center console storage rack, black trail rated decals, and of course Boston Red Sox decal on the back.
    Removed blackout stars from back. I remember seeing double stars somewhere, and I don't need that here.
    Still waiting on new floor mats, bug guard, some other decals, and gas tank cover. Have to paint my angry eyes front headlight inserts I got in the mail. Trying to paint those and the front grill cover same color. Trying to keep storm trooper look, so probably black. Might paint mirrors while I'm at it since the Deserthawk comes with grey mirror covers.

    The Desert Hawk looks good. Welcome and enjoy your DH.

    I got it without the DH decal. The previous owner reported some hood damage. Never could get the full details about it, but the engine bay inspection was good so I went through with buying. I couldn't find a replacement DH decal online and the one on Amazon was $25. Pretty easy install.

    I have a regular Trailhawk and just ordered the factory Star decals for the rear of my Renegade . I think they help break up the Alpine white paint .
