Oh shoot I was scrolling down thinking, man, he really needs to color match the grille! Looks great though. Post up some more pics of your finished parking lights. I have yet to see any night time shots.

A new grille is on the way; I'll get it color-matched when it arrives. My led markers are still at the PCB shop
(printed circuit board shop) getting repaired. Hopefully everything will come together soon, so I can take some
proper pics.

Uraban, Your tail lights are really sharp... Did you mod your own or what?

I bought them on a ebay several years ago. I think they've been discontinued for a while. I'm trying to harass
some manufacturers to make us a set of oem LED tail lights. Maybe one of them will budge.

I'm interested in that gas tank skid. More info?

The skid was made by a German company called antec. They discontinued their XJ line a while back, but
I found a company on ebay.de that's still clearing out some new antec stock. I had the part glassblasted and
powdercoated to match my front bar and rims. The company also sells outside ebay; here's their url oc-ts.de
(click Edelstahl Zubehör in the top left menu than click Restposten)
 
It took forever, but I finally found someone that does professional work... cheap.
I chose the color/ sanded down the fog covers; he did the rest. Special thanks
to Starboard M for the spare Hella covers for this project

and yes, I'm aware the driver's side bumper cap needs to be fixed. It's on the list.

I'm really pleased with the finish. I had the stickers made to the same size as the Jeep emblem previously on my header panel, and I had the guy put them under the clearcoat so they hold up better. It also looks like he added some of the left-over gray metallic into the clearcoat to give the finish some extra depth. I'm guessing he was trying to replicated the hammertone?

Anyways, I'm amazed how I flip-flopped on this project... from stainless steel to gray. I never expected this would be my end result when I started.
 
way too much chrome for me..hahah
 
Dig it. I'd thought about a two tone scheme when I started cleaning mine up, but I didn't like the look of color accents on white- I thought about a met silver to match the Jeep badging, but I didn't think it would fly on a white XJ. Works on the dark colors though. Looking pretty slick.
