Screw looking cool, go functional. Mine is my DD, but also an weekend warrior

Looks wise, all I have is a few decals, Khaki wagen wheels, and HID driving/offroad lights. I guess maybe my recovery points may add some cool factor.

Now when your really looking cool is when your being functional

Very nice XJ, i appreciate all the help everyone is giving

Please don't f-up, what looks like, a pretty clean Jeep by cutting up the fenders and bumper trim. Taking off the side molding will do nothing but give you dings in your doors. I don't know about you but I can see where some jackass hit the molding so hard with their door it discolored the plastic. XJ's look beautiful with out the moldings but I don't think dings are worth it.

I suggest you save your money and buy a quality lift. Until then buy some stickers or something.

Mines my DD too. When you break something you just have to know how to fix it or build it right to begin with so it doesn't break.

ya from what i read about it is that you tape what you dont wanna paint, then paint black the angry eyes, and then bam there ya have it. if you want you can use high temp paint if you think the head lights will make it hot
