did you do that on yours? i also heard that pvc gutter down pipe would work well. im trying to keep it with the bodyline, and not particularly use round pipeing.

tp make the round look better he couldve topped it with a 90 degree bend and maybe 3 inchs of pipe facing the front of the jeep. it would just get rid of the look like it wasnt never finished

the gutter pipe would work if thats the look you want, its just a little harder to cut the hole.
