Hey - can anyone photoshop a granite JLU Sahara with black grill/bumper accents and black out the 5 spoke stock rims? I'm really tempted to do this to my car but the stock colors aren't all too bad

Here are a couple more pictures of the Black Rhino Pinatubo Wheels on my Jeep.

Thanks for the photos! The milled section looks white? or is it just a brighter grey?

Can someone upload a photo of exactly what and where the pinch seam is? I’ve read what it is but having a hard time identifying it behind my factory-installed steps. Not sure how bad it actually looks or if I’ll even be able to see it without looking closely on my granite JLUS. Thanks!
Directly behind my steps you can see 2 screws, that entire section from just behind the front fender to just before the rear fender is the pinch seam. Some folks paint them after installing rails/side steps or like me i just used 2 inch anti slip tape to hide it and blend it in.

Cool! When you have an opportunity, can you take another photo from a little farther away (and maybe better light) so I can see how the black grill looks compared to the granite body? Thanks!

Aha! I thought it was a smaller "point" as opposed to that whole length of metal. Thank you! BTW, I really like the look of your tape job-- totally blends with the rails!! Well done!! :clap: I'm going to steal that page from your playbook if I get rails that don't cover the seam-- that's sharp :like:

Thanks! Hmmm not as much contrast as I was hoping for - maybe because of the cloudy, low light day? You almost have to really look to notice the color difference. The matte grille looks amazing on the white JLs. Might be a bit too subtle for me to spend the cash.

What say you #PapaJoe?

It's tough to see, but it's actually silver/chrome. There is no white.

Love the BR wheels
I went with the Gun Metal Warlords instead

I was thinking the same thing. Looks great on white or even red, but not enough of a contrast for me as well to spend the money on a new grill or the time on dipping my existing one.
