take off the door trim. promis you it looks 100 times better. just gatta take some time to scrape the gunk off. goo gone and a heat gun works wonders. then bedline the bumpers, the fenders and the rocker panels. i used duplicolor rattle can, looks amazing and is pretty durable from a $10 can, and draws great attention!

1. completely remove side trim on the doors
2. cut and fold your fenders
3. spray paint anything else
4. change your profile picture that **** is obnoxious

you can remove the rocker panels on a lot of newer cars. but you gotta tap and spray the panels on an xj. they're part of the body
