i have completed another mod and it has saved me $300 total...

i went to advanced autoparts and bought a can of lens tint. cost me about $25 for a can of lens tint and two starred screws to take off my lights. done it all the same day and here's the finished product. what do you think?

now all i need is a set of black wheels to top it off!!! :mrgreen:
it may look like there's places that i didn't do so well, but if you look closer; it's the reflection of the sky. :-)r
i would have done another coat, but i thought 2 coats were enough. plus i didn't want the cops hassling me over it. even though it's KY, we still have some cops who "follow every rule"...

15 inch rims will fit, as long as they are the correct backspace..
I personally enjoy the look of 15s over 16s, but it's hard to tell.
(My decision to get 15s could have also had to do with the fact that I found 4 Cragars {and good tires!} for 125$ on Craigslist locally.)

yes my front and rear bumpers, along with my fenders are line-xd. i actually went to the auto zone and bought over $100 in spray on bedliner cans, plus hours of work. it worked well, but i'm eventually going to buy the roll-on bedliner and put it on my jeep. whenever i get the time and money.

looks good Tom!

I would have done a 3rd coat, but I didn't want them "too dark". Mine sorta have the smoked look up close but far away they looked black out. :)

Now I'm saving the $$$ to buy Black Steel Cragar Soft 8 wheels :BANANA: Then at Spring time I'll be buying MT's and do a complete brake job. Do you suggest steel brake lines and from which site? Jeepinbyal?
