^ looks so much cleaner.

Process was easy? No issues?

I need to look back a few pages to see someone with a Red jeep do this... I want to see if it is still something I want to do.

I have to admit - this looks pretty cool. I'm in the same boat... somedays I look at the silver inserts and think the fog light trim, the emblems, stock sahara wheels and think they all look good together. Somedays, I think I need to paint them all black.

I dunno.

What you/others think?
I honestly think it depends on the actual exterior color. I like the Silver on the Granite and Black, but I LOVE the painted black on Red, Blue and White

I agree - the silver on black/granite exterior really pops. On my red sahara, I think either or. My original "theme" was red and black go together - so I think I need to follow up on this. You are not helping me. LOL :D meaning, I think you are making me do work. hehe.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. A Sahara with LEDs and a normal hood with the inserts done. Very nice. Do you have more pics from different angles? Perhaps some with the side emblems? I assume you dipped those black? And the inserts you bought are the ones from Justforjeeps, and you left them unpainted?
