Default strips on my xj. need opinions!!

ok so im thinking of doing alot of stuff to my stock xj this summer and one of the things is trying to make it different than every xj out there. i what to hear what u guys think about daul black racing strips on my white xj, i would be putting it down the hood, roof and down the rear hatch. i also plan on doing
-window tints
-bed line the lower portion by the rusted out rocker panels
-custon headliner like a nice blue cloth to replace the factory grey cloth

i just wanna make my jeep mine, hopefully something that wud be appreciated by xj owners. also leave some opinions on cheap upgrades or ideas...thanks guys

it will stick out, but those things have been done before. You could get a brush guard or rock sliders to make it stick out, or wire offroad or fog lights on it. just some ideas

thats not a brush guard, its a push bar, and its all rusty, would look better without it, do big tires and no lift, that will stand out from the crowd...
