Default Defender Square Delete?

Anyone try Lucky8Offroad’s square delete? I just ordered and am curious if anyone had issues taking the body color squares off of their windows. Any pictures would be welcomed as well.

i have it. it works but way overpriced. basically 3 black round plastic pieces with double sided tape and oem land rover badge.


i mentioned it to lucky that they should do a complete debadge and provide 4 circles for each side and omit the badge. cleaner look and keep the cost much lower

That looks good.

Did the square provide any structural purpose?

Yeah, I returned my kit once I received. For the cost it was a joke...I did have to pay the restock fee, also a joke.

I ordered it before I received my truck. Once I received I realized I didnt mind the square as it's black and just blends in.

depends on your color of the truck. i wrapped my black initially myself and didn’t do the best job. for a far it looked fine but it bothered me so i got the kit

i figure those oem badges are causing the high price.

i actually screwed up and didn’t read the directions and installed 4 dots on one side. one going where the badge went. completely debadged and loved the look. realized i didn’t have enough dots for the other side. lucky i was able to remove one and still use it

so this is when i recommended Luck to sell a kit just with the dots. it could drop the price deamitically

Defender Square Delete? It looks really really really crap! It’s like nailing plywood to a broken window. If I was you, I would get some duct tape to cover up the square. It will be a lot cheaper and look better to boot.

If you really don’t like the body colored square, get someone to professionally spray the square black. With polishing compound it will look a million times better than a few plastics bungs and a LR badge that looks totally out of place.

Something to think about, Powerful UK is about to drop a side panel that you will be able to put Rotopaxs on. I like the square as another layer of protection when I put the panel on.
