Not sure why you'd ask strangers what you should do to YOUR jeep. Those are cosmetic and it matters what YOU like of it. I will post my opinion on one thing, tinting the DRL is a waste of money. They're used for a purpose. If you wanna go that route, by all means

Words of wisdom^^^^.

Never saw the point of painting stock calipers, just draws attention to the fact that you haven't upgraded anything, just painted, kinda ricer, like painting drums. Never saw the point of tinted lights, although I tinted my side reflectors so take that for what it's worth. Silver on the mirrors, ok, kind of breaks up the sea of black, but the paint won't be as good as factory and will wear fast making your new(ish) ride look bad quickly.

Do what you want, but I'll tell you that most here follow the "form follows function" train of though. Very few are into cosmetics just for the sake of looking pretty.

Yup. Me personally, I would paint my caliper red IF I continued my red theme of steering parts but I didn't do the drag link etc.

My car has red sway bars, red springs, and red chassis brace (not shown). But they've all been upgraded, stock calipers are still bare.

Kado, understand we are here to help you with any technical questions you have at almost any time of the day. When it comes to cosmetic things, its the jeeps owner that must decide. Remember we all have different tastes and alot of us here are more for function than fashion. And the fashion we do like isn't really painted calipers or tinted lights. We give everyone a hard time so dont take it personal. We still here if you need us

I was joking about the hot pink but you could plastidip it any color make it stand out from the rest of them on the road.
