Just recently these topics have been discussed on the forum. The spacers are really simple to do (front what the write up looked like) and the tinted tails i believe are just a spray paint...

Give me your wheels! I would have to say those are honestly my favorite style of the older stock wheels. I do dig the newer 5 spoke steelies I currently have tho.

The thought behind the hood spacers is to let more heat escape from the engine bay. As I'm sure you know, it can get a bit steamy under the hood of an XJ.
