The 2026 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Rewind editions bring back 1980s and 90s stripe graphics, but the package adds $1,900 over a Willys and pushes the sticker to roughly $50,000 with destination. You do not need a new Jeep to give yours a retro stripe look. Retro stripe decal kits from Jeep Decal Store give the Wrangler JL, JLU, JKU, and Gladiator JT you already own a throwback 80s and 90s stripe look, from $39.99 to $179.99, in precision-cut and printed vinyl rated for up to 6 years outdoors. These kits are inspired by the era the Rewind celebrates. They are not a copy of the factory Rewind graphics, which stay exclusive to that edition.

What is the 2026 Jeep Rewind edition?
The Rewind is the sixth of twelve limited models in Jeep's Twelve 4 Twelve campaign, offered on both the 2026 Wrangler and the Gladiator pickup. It grew out of an Easter Jeep Safari concept and leans hard into 80s and 90s nostalgia: multi-color geometric stripe graphics on the body, gold-accented wheels and tow hooks, and an interior with 8-bit arcade patterns embossed into the Nappa leather seats and a dot-matrix style shift knob cap. Colors include throwback names like Hydro Blue, Joose, and Reign, according to Autoblog's coverage.
Under the graphics it is a Willys with the 3.6-liter V6 making 285 horsepower. The visual package is the whole story of the edition. If you like that throwback stripe energy, a retro decal kit is an easy way to bring some of it to the Jeep you already own in an afternoon. We covered the earlier drops in this series too, including the Wrangler Sarge and the Wrangler Laredo.
How much does the Rewind look cost, new Jeep vs decal kit?
Here is the honest math. The Rewind package itself is $1,900 on top of a Willys, and the combined price lands near $50,000 with destination charges. A made-to-order retro stripe kit runs $39.99 to $179.99 and installs on the Jeep in your driveway.
| Option | What you pay | What you get | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Rewind edition | About $50,000 all in | New Willys with factory retro graphics, gold wheel accents, themed interior | 2026 Wrangler or Gladiator only |
| Retro Body Stripe Kit (JLU) | $149.99 | Full-body precision-cut stripe set, 63 color choices | Wrangler JLU 4-door 2018+ |
| Retro Scrambler Body Stripe Kit | $179.99 | Scrambler-style body stripe kit, 63 color choices | Gladiator JT 2020+ |
| Retro Side Center Stripes | $179.99 | Side center stripe theme in Retro, Blue, Green, or Grey shades | Wrangler JKU 4-door 2007-2018 |
| Retro Synth Wave fender decals | $39.99 | 2-piece printed sunset and palm fender vent graphics | Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT 2018+ |
If you love your current rig, the decal route gives it a retro-inspired look for well under one percent of the price of the new truck.
Which retro stripe kit fits my Wrangler or Gladiator?
Every kit below is cut for a specific body, so panel lines, door gaps, and fender curves line up without trimming. Match your model and year, pick your colors, and the kit arrives with professional-grade transfer tape ready to apply.
Wrangler JLU 4-door, 2018 and newer
Our boldest retro option in spirit. This full stripe kit runs the length of the body and comes in 63 colors, so you can go subtle in matte black or full 90s in bright multi-tone. It is not a copy of the factory Rewind graphic, but it channels the same 80s and 90s stripe energy.
Precision-cut Oracal 651 vinyl body stripe set, 63 colors, rated up to 6 years outdoors.
Gladiator JT, 2020 and newer
The Rewind Gladiator is the first retro-striped factory Jeep pickup, but the CJ-8 Scrambler wore this look first in the early 80s. This kit brings the Scrambler stripe to the JT's long bed and doors.
Scrambler-inspired stripe kit in cut vinyl, 63 colors, made to order in the USA.
Wrangler JKU 4-door, 2007 to 2018
Driving a JK? You are not left out of the retro wave. The side center stripe theme comes in a ready-made Retro Shades colorway plus Blue, Green, and Grey sets that suit darker paint.
Multi-tone side stripe theme in Retro, Blue, Green, or Grey shades, weather and UV resistant.
Want the vibe without full stripes? Start with the fenders
A 2-piece printed fender vent graphic is the lowest-commitment way to test the retro look. The Synth Wave Beach Sunset set covers the vent area on both front fenders with palm trees and a gradient sunset straight off a 1989 arcade cabinet.
Printed 2-piece vent graphic with protective laminate, in Electric Blue or Hot Pink border.
Will retro decals hold up off-road?
Yes, if the material is right. The cut stripe kits above use Oracal 651 intermediate calendared vinyl, an automotive-grade film that is water resistant, UV resistant, and rated for up to 6 years outdoors. The printed Synth Wave set uses ORAJET 3551RA printed vinyl with a protective laminate over the ink, good for 3 to 6 years depending on climate and sun exposure.
Two things extend that life on a trail rig. First, apply to a clean, wax-free panel and let the adhesive cure for 48 hours before hitting brush or a car wash. Second, hand wash the striped panels rather than pressure washing directly at the vinyl edges. Our full decal care guide covers washing, waxing, and winter storage in detail.
How do I pick colors for a retro 90s vibe?
You do not have to copy the Rewind to get a throwback feel. If you want a similar 80s and 90s vibe, here is a simple way to choose your stripe colors:
- Bright paint (blue, yellow, orange): run the Retro Shades multi-tone stripes, which stack sunset tones the way the factory graphic does.
- White or silver paint: teal, magenta, and purple stripes read instantly as 90s. This is the boldest combination.
- Black, gray, or Anvil paint: the Blue Shades or Grey Shades sets give the retro geometry without the neon, and gold vinyl nods to the Rewind's gold wheel accents.
The cut kits come in 63 colors including matte and metallic finishes, so you can match or contrast your exact paint code. See every stock color, with click-to-copy hex codes and a match-your-paint tool, on our ORACAL 651 color chart. Not sure? Order the fender set first, live with it for a week, then commit to the full body kit. For more direction by model, see our Gladiator hood decal guide and our top 10 Jeep decal ideas.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the 2026 Jeep Rewind edition cost?
The Rewind package adds $1,900 to a Wrangler or Gladiator Willys, and typical combined pricing is around $50,000 including destination charges. Both versions use the 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower.
Can I get a retro stripe look on an older Jeep?
Yes. Retro stripe decal kits are cut for specific bodies, including the Wrangler JLU 2018 and newer, the Gladiator JT 2020 and newer, and the Wrangler JKU 2007 to 2018, so those models can wear a throwback 80s and 90s stripe style. The kits are inspired by that era, not exact copies of the factory Rewind graphics.
How long do retro Jeep stripe decals last?
Cut vinyl kits in Oracal 651 are rated for up to 6 years outdoors, and printed laminated graphics last roughly 3 to 6 years depending on sun exposure. Proper prep and hand washing extend the life of both.
Are retro stripe decals hard to install?
The kits ship with professional-grade transfer tape and are precision cut to the panel, so a careful first-timer can install them. Work panel by panel on a clean surface, and see our step-by-step installation guide for technique.
Will the decals damage my paint if I remove them?
No. Quality automotive vinyl removes cleanly from factory paint with gentle heat, which makes a retro stripe kit a low-risk, reversible way to try a throwback look.
