I removed the JL Wrangler Sport "Euro" Close Out Cover Bumper Pieces

[Cracker_Box]

Had mine off the day after I got the Jeep in June, noticed water in my driver fog light a week ago so I decided to trim em up and put em back on.

sahara cover is not the same does not fit ...........

Did you use a cover borrowed from a Sahara? Or did you order the Mopar part (6KL10RXFAA). Sellers say it should fit all trim levels, lincluding Sport.

Did anybody notice any affect on fuel economy when they removed these?

I did not notice any change. But I removed them before my first fill-up. I guess I'm no help to your question.

They CLAIM they should fit a Sport... but they don't! I'm taking them back tomorrow. Ended up trimming using a utility knife.

I have not. Had them on for about 6 weeks.

Just cut mine. I didn't think much about them until this last rain storm and all the dirt roads had my sport looking like it drank a chocolate shake after a trip to the dentist. I had a set of led fog light bulbs that I bought for my cherokee but never installed so I popped them in while I had the covers off. Took a little under an hour start to finish with trimming and fog bulbs. I took the first bolt out with a ratchet and it took to long so I chucked my 1/4 extension into my cordless drill to speed up the process. Now I'm wondering what to do with the plastic spacer between the bumper and the grill that has the corners poking out a little? Did anyone else pull that out as well?

I pulled the air damn/mud guard or whatever it is off as well and I'm leaving it off.

I bought the filler parts, and they fit fine, $30 for both including shipping. 6KL10RXFAA and 6KL11RXFAA.

Did you install these on a Sahara? Can you post pictures of finished project please

Just to throw my hat in the ring on fog light experience I took these covers off the same day I got my Jeep. I personally had no issues with anything and saw no fuel mileage change. When I swapped front bumper (rugged ridge HD stubby). The stock Halogens would fill up with water because they hang so low. Ive had no issues with anything electrical but like I said the stock halogen fogs are far from waterproof. LEDs were a good upgrade that I would recommend to anyone.

Been wanting to remove mine as well, but waited till my new bumper arrives this Friday so I can just do it all at once.

Hi guys. I come from the Mojito Club thread to say I CAN'T GET THESE DAMN THINGS OFF. I spent like an hour and can't even get one off. I took out all the 7mm bolts and pushed out the one pin/clip, and something is still connected at the inboard end. The only thing I can *guess* is that it's this one screw over by the tow hooks, which I can't even get a socket on. Going insane here. <fifthelement> Plaayys Haaalp. </fifthelement>

EDIT I got tired of trying to figure out the last bit, and was going to trim them and put the back parts back on anyway, so I said F it, and cut them while still installed. Took a little finagling and broke one utility blade, but it's done. The ugly edge I will attend to later with my Dremel.

Can you post pics of these installed? Others say they don't fit. I realize this is a response to an old post, but was hoping we can get some clarification as to whether these parts actually fit.

Being a bit ambitious, I purchased 6KL10RXFAA and 6KL11RXFAA. I can 100% definitively say that they do not fit the sport bumper.
