Help me settle a debate

Two things:
If you're going to be daring enough to mix teal with red, you should not solicit opinions from mainstream Jeep folks. A whole lot like greys, tan & earthy or military type colors.
I actually like bright contrast with certain blues with red but not Bikini/teal.

Consider gold/bronze tones if you want to add splash to already bright Bikini.

For the record, I just recently bought my Jeep. It is pre-owned and the previous owner installed orange hood latch covers and florescent green side covers. So far I have removed the hood covers, but everyone seems to like the side covers so I have left them on for the moment. I'm still undecided whether I'm gonna keep the side covers on mine.

Love the S1000R, I've got one too

That should be very obvious that the pic is a dealer picture and was staged at that location to take the pics.

2021 sticker and a few others on the windshield. Dealer building in the background.

NOT his parking job.

That should be very obvious that I was just joking around.

I forgot I ran it without the Rich&Reserve bottle caps and subsequent LED lights for quite some time.

I guess then I should say that it was just coat hanger fender flares for quite some time, though I only ran it completed for a short minute. Completed being the final stage which made it the Scepter lights!

Looking back at them, looks like they were only on for about a month in their completed form.

Here's a zoomed in photo. You can really make out the Rich&Reserve caps, which gave it that scepter look.

As an added note, I have all the materials at this point to complete my hidden DIY radio antenna, I've just been really lazy about it. It's going to involve me removing my hood again, the windshield wiper motor cover trim piece thingy, and then I'm going to have to loosen the passenger side fender also, and drill yet another hole into the Wrangler. It's just a big project. I'm waiting for a weekend where I don't have anything to do and I'm willing to dedicate the 8 hours it will take me to do all that.. also too I'll have to actually make my DIY antenna. Again I have the all the supplies for that as well, it's just a process of putting it together.

So yeah as you can see, I do some weird shit! ?

I absolutely love this! That one thing I love about jeeps, you can do just about anything to them, as long and you're willing to ivent the time and effort into them anything is possible, even curtain rods ?

I will definitely keep that in mind, i didnt realize how much of a contrast it would be but once I was removing the pieces is when i noticed the difference it made, and not for the right reasons.

I will definitely consider the gold and bronze options. I appreciate the feedback. Also you have a beautiful jeep!

It's funny, when I was younger I had one of those POG machines where you could make your own pogs. I remember my local game store would sell the slammers for anywhere from $0.50 each to upwards of $10 depending how "collectible" they were.

It's funny cuz back then I was like "slammers are so cool, sure I'll spend $5 on this fancy cool looking one with holographic print." And now I'm like, "shiiiiit, I could make four slammers for $8 in my garage!"

I was guessing you're a millennial like me. But then again I know my dad said when I was younger that those slammers have been around since he was a kid, and he was born in 49. Eh, I'm going to stick with you being a millennial!

I just got rid of all my slammers. I had some holograms for sure. Don't know why I dragged them across the country and held onto them for 25 years. Bit of a headscratcher for sure. At least I didn't keep my slap bracelets.

Sounds like your better half is jealous of your Jeep. Your Jeep do as YOU wish and enjoy.

Message received hahaha, now hear me out though! Run with me on the vision I see in my mind. Picture it with wheels like this and these step bars ?

In my opinion highlighting the hinges and door handles and everything else on the exterior is a little over kill. I see a lot of jeeps with this done so there are plenty that like it. I think the red rims and sidesteps look awesome without the stuff you have already done. With that said it is yours so do with it what you want but more importantly get it dirty and have some fun with it.
