I like how you covered the side mirrors lol

sflxj

nice! why did you leave the flares on though?

Mgonzo700

I was starting to take them off but I broke two of the bolts because there all rusted out....So yea I just said forget it

Pull the flares off, and replace the nutstrips with regular nuts and bolts.

sflxj

yeah seriously you will rip one off one day and see the blue paint and be like GOD that's ugly plus the strips are cheap and so are new flares if they brake off.

Mgonzo700

Really ok..But how would I get to the head of the bolt all I see is the nut.

OverlandZJ

Trust me... tear them off and you'll see where the bolts go in from inside the flare.

Mgonzo700

Alright Ill try that now....Thanks

RaboXJ

I told you to take them off

BeepBeepImaJeep

if it were me id paint the flares after you take them off with Krylon Fusion just a few light coats, black or whatever color or want, didnt look like u covered the door handles either lol.

Mgonzo700

Really ok..I might just do that then. Yea I didnt tape off the door handles lol I ll paint those black after.
