I am low on cash lately and needed to do something. I have a problem with modding every vehicle I own, one way or another!

Here are some before and after pics.
Painted the bowties, debadged, molding delete.
I have to repaint the front because of a bug who thought it would be fun to land in wet paint!

When I'm ready I'm going to paint the grille with real automotive paint and supplies, not just a rattle can!

I took the moldings off 3 days ago! How is that old? Mr. Negativity

The moldings looked out of place once I debadged it, especially since they were a different shade of blue.

Now I just need to figure out if I want a more agressive stance with a leveling kit or a lowering kit. The leveling kit is just a 2" lift for the front, the lowering kit would be 2" at all four corners.

Thats it, you just lost your contest privileges!

It does look pretty plain right now but once my wifes lease goes back, I can put a couple bucks into it. No more new cars/trucks too damn expensive.

Looks much better, I'm a fan of the !badges and moldings - I did the same with my Cherokee. And the black bowties are a neat idea!

Without the badges and molding, its looks too plain.

The Emblems look really nice tho.

I park far away from everyone almost everywhere I go. I rather walk a few more feet, than pay for some bodywork because of a moron who doesnt care about vehicles.

This. I always do this, no matter the vehicle. We all park across teh lot and together when we go after the track, for example. I only park close to car guys.

You don't have to worry about dings, but you have to worry about ketchup...
