I know it looks sexy black, but when it's black it hard to tell it's even cut out and that's what i want it to do, make it look likt he 97 and up

Here's the almost finished product

Why would you cut them out? IMO looks like crap, and now you have a lot less protecting your radiator from rouge sticks/rocks/birds/etc. Why wouldn't you just paint the inner grille things black?

They make it so you can quickly disconnect your swaybar, duh.

Seriously though, disconnecting the sway bars restricts the suspension less and gives it more articulation.

Putting my street tires back on since winter is coming and one of my MTRs has literally no tread on one side (it used to have some, but with all this rain I've been doing burnouts a lot...) and is out of round making the jeep shake at 55 and up.
Since the rims my street tires are on look like turds, I painted them. actually look decent now.
