i've been wondering how they are to deal with @JTenn . I saw some mixed reviews but sometimes I take those as a grain of salt.
My experience has been great. I've dealt with them two separate times. Once online, and second in person at Jeep Invasion.

Sport S and Willy’s get black badging. Overland gets the chrome badging. Rubicon gets the gray with red outline badging.
interesting - mine is a normal sport, but all my badging is black. not complaining! I think it looks better (especially considering I have the black plastic fenders).

Hmmm interesting... I got a white 22 Overland and I got black with satin outline. Also got the satin black mopar grill and I'm a little bummed that I didn't get to keep the satin grill outlines on that to match the rest of my emblems.

And for some reason I have silver on my bumper, which I thought was the overland bumper. I actually like that, it's like the brushed metal color. Thought I saw most sports with an all black bumper. Maybe the Sport S is what starts the silver trim on the bumper.
Sport S has the same bumper. Just be glad you don’t have the terrible bumper extensions that go up to the fender. They’re a pita to get rid of properly too. Very easy to remove, but a PITA to trim to the right size and look OEM. I helped a friend of mine put rubicon take offs and remove those extensions on her JL. After a lot of trimming and sanding, and a few beers, it looks good. Hah

You bought that new? Funny because that looks just like the stickers I put on mine.

Did you use plastidip?
Only used plasti dip for the smaller parts. IE; the fender Jeep badges and tailgate badge along with the trail rated logo on the fender. The larger areas like the grille trim and bumper fog ight inserts are Mopar replacement parts I ordered from Quadratec. I forget the part numbers but they're pretty easy to find. However, I have since got rid the the plastic bumper all together for a Mopar 3 piece steel one, so the fog housings are gone. side note; the "gladiator" on the fenders under the Jeep logo are obviously stickers that were silver. I just bought black ones off ebay and replaced them. Put painters tape along the orginal stickers before removing so I got the placement right.

Only thing silver on the body now is the Overland badge on the tail which I actually like that.

That’s exactly how mine came from the dealership bud, only thing I’ve done is the 125 dollar tonneau cover.

Interesting. I'd be mad if I paid more for Overland and had that chrome nonsense. Thanks!
I've embraced it; I plan on painting the tow hooks silver.

I removed everything off my overland and replaced it with red

Nice. I do like red but didn't want to make any attempts to look like a rubicon. Even when I switched to the steel Mopar bumper, I swapped the tow hooks out and kept my black ones from my plastic one.

side note; I have thought about doing the badges on the tailgate I like the look, but it defeats my purpose of blacking out everything .
