I did it when I had mine. Bedlined after I ground off the tabs. Sadly I dont have a pic. But yes it looked good.

Little tabs. Like little nail heads sticking up. Grind them off and paint.

ZJ's look way better without the plastic. You will have one small bolt hole on each back door. They are easy to fill in.

Yup, and like the response below your post I covered it with bed liner. Personally I think it looks sweet.

Just a quick dirty wet pic.
