Well I took my factory fog lights off to check out why they didn't work. They we all rusted inside. I thought why replace them when I wheel the jeep I will probably rip them off so kept them off. Then reading this topic I decided to take the plung and trim the lower portion off mine. I love the look.

That looks real good. How do you do it though? I want a perfect straight line matching the bumper part.

How come your undercarriage is rust-free? It looks like it's brand new.
