Saw this and just went out and did it. Didn't have to even remove any bolts. Extremely easy when you heat up the knife.

recently used the vht nite shades and rattle canned my trim. cost about 25 bucks and made a huge huge difference. I used plastidip for the trim & bumpers. i suggest taking everything off. did it once before on my old zj and left the bumpers and trim on, and it didn't look as good as this.

not really no. at night it looks really cool and is still super bright. i went really dark on my turn signals so they're a little harder to see in the day, and i havent been rear ended yet so my tails must be ok too!

night shot: sadly i dont have any of the tails i'm a dummy

just keep up on painting the flares and rockers if needed, make it shine, or if you like a non clean jeep leave it dirty, but get a lift

How much was that plastidip? I was just going to either scuffing and using back to black or using some gloss black rattle can.
