cut and fold your fenders and throw some black spray paint on there. makes quite a difference in appearance

Best thing u can do as stated earlier is save your money for quality mods. In the meantime buy some sandpaper and rattle can rustoleum rust tough paint and paint your axles and any underbody that might be rusty. Keep your XJ running longer and from rusting out on you.

You could go to your local auto parts store and buy this stuff called night shades. It's in a rattle can like spray paint... And tint all your exterior lenses (besides your headlights)... Gives the jeep a totally different look. And it's only 12 bucks! Make sure you take all of them off the jeep first so the tint doesn't run... And also clean them very well...

You could cut the lower section of the front bumper off.

Under dash led strips $20 bucks at autozone and MAYBE 20 min of work. They come in all sorts of colors. Red blue white, I'm sure you could find others also.
