[Supertrapped]

a few of us do I make alum kits for loer doors and erar quarters and front fender too

performance metal works makes steel ones that are kinda reverse from mine and wrap over top but not bottom of door

I know thereis one other but cant thinkof it now

 

[adrnalinlovr]

i voted no, but you did a nice job props, and the rivets look pretty banging(cool+intense) i think

 

[adrnalinlovr]

so i wish i could change my vote to yes

I like the black look on your rig, but I'm not liking the bolt heads showing up like that. I'd black those out aswell.

That looks good. It doesn't look like you've bent the panels to match the lower inch or so of the
doors and other sections though (or at least I can't tell with that picture.) I think it has a cleaner look
with the bends because they follow the body.

I might paint the bold heads black to hide them, but I was also thinking about painting them charcoal grey to match the color of the Jeep emblems that I repainted a while back. I think it would match better than the normal chrome color of the bolt heads. What do you think?

Excellent idea! If it doesn't look right afterwards you can always either remove the paint or paint 'em black. BTW, Nice pic!

I'd love to see how this looks on a 97+ XJ...what works for one may not work for another, if I go diamond plating I'm trying to decide whether to do powdercoating/spray can/bling route. The diamond plating mod is AWESOME! can't wait to throw some armor on there...

[90exjay]

I like it,with the way my paint looks i want to do it to my entire body.:lol

 

[cherokeeproject]

i like it for one exeption i dont like chrome on any rig i think crome should be for a car sittin in the garage not in the mudd. personally, and you might try this too, but im spraying my flares bumpers and side molding w/ rino bed liner to give it kinda a rugged look. but i think i might plate it then spray it! to give me the look i want

 

[HAPYMUDY]

dude its part of teh tuff look, this aint for street type mall crawlin jeep but for those who actually wheel

If this is for someone that actually wheeled the user would have spent the time/money wrenching involved to actually put a little heavier diamond plate on the rocker (under and around to the sides.)

It does look fine, though!
