I got rash on both quarters, both times discovered upon returning to jeep at the parking lot. Local body shop wants $500 to repair, paint, etc.. They are really not that bad but needs good sanding, rubbing and painting.

I noticed some people sell rear bumper cover, I don't know if stock KJ comes with a bumper cover or if it is one piece, or if it is easy to replace.

unless mine is wierd, the 2 knots on either side of the rear 'bumper' on mine are separate from the center section of the bumper, they may have been cut and replaced by the PO but i don't think so, it doesn't look hacked together anyway

Mine is Light Khaki, but you can have it for $50. Paint it black and coat it.

or


buy a Rock Lizard rear bumper. and make the jerks that rub it do more damage to their vehicles.

I saw RL rear bumper, but it just won't go with my all city look, everything would be all stock with a bad booty bumper in the rear, all grey and mean. Won't look too good. (even though I got $100 credit mario owes me) Once I find a bumper, I am getting a rear bumper guard.

Paint it shiny black, chrome, or whatever to fit the city mode

Now that would be sick... a chrome dipped RL bumper... have to go with the light duty for sure for city use, still would make a rubber sore (ok, keep it clean guys :roll: )...

the shinier it is, the more likely to blind someone from the glare and create your own rear-end collision :P
