I wanted to and I didn't want to...it had to be just right...Industrial and looked like it was metal...here is what I came up with.

If you look closely, the little spots are the tops of bolts for the look of steel girders ect.

I might for fun make a fuel door cover decal with a ring around the door with the same look. I think a 4X4 decal would also look good with this setup. It is basically 4 layers of vinyl...two layers for shading for the text and two layers for shading for the bolt heads.

Looks good!

But, what are those wishbone looking things on the back by the window?

I think they are meant to cause a transition from laminar to turbulent flow, helping to breakup the pressure drag caused behind the Jeep.

Kinda like the dimples on the golfball.

Seriously... I haven't had 7-digit dialing since 1992

(although I think I live in the largest "local calling area" in the country)

Might be an interesting adventure washing and waxing that golf ball car!

This is basically what they do...I think the optimum would be to add one more to each side for a total of 13 (I have 11)
