Yes, proportion are off because doors are not long enough.I see nothing out of proportion on a 2 door.

2 door of the past had curent size doors and short trunk. Jl grew larger in the rrunck but doors remain the same. It looks like a chop job.
There is a reason why coupe has longer doors then same model in sedan form (other then back seat entry)... get closer in length to quoter panel. When not able to, make side windows cohesive unit (no window frame between driver door and rear q. window) in order to match rear quoner.
Even frameless door windows or half doors would help a bit to not look like you are pinched between long hood and lond trunk.
Every 2 door looks like the ass is sitting low. I think it is from the fender lines. Rubicon fenders highlight the issue more to me. Teraflex even shortens the front spacer ½” to bring the nose down. But I still want a 2 door as a second vehicle.I think it’s the stock fenders (sport or rubi). They look better on the longer 4 door.

Because you have perfect side picture with color matched heart top - worst case scenario. Not so much reply to you.I see it like this...
so why quote me, trolling?
2 dr Jeep should have came with different hard top.The 2 door JL should've come with its own doors... imagine the coupe M4 with the sedan's short front doors.

I have to admit, I was skeptical, but you're totally right and this looks amazing! lolThe 2 door JL should've come with its own doors... imagine the coupe M4 with the sedan's short front doors.
You missed the point, the 2 door XJ for example has longer front doors than the 4 door front doors.I have to admit, I was skeptical, but you're totally right and this looks amazing! lol
I was just kidding and I get it. I prefer the doors the way they are, though, because having the 4-door front doors and 2-door be identical saves development and manufacturing $ and allows for a lot of crossover for aftermarket parts like tube doors, entry guards, and more.You missed the point, the 2 door XJ for example has longer front doors than the 4 door front doors.
Longer doors also helps people get in the back seat, Jeep probably figured it's much cheaper to use the same doors from the 4drEvery time I take my doors off I think, "Man I wish these were much bigger and heavier." And when I'm getting in and out, "If only these doors were longer and swung further out." Jeep really missed the mark on an offroad vehicle. Long doors are a must, for sure.
It makes it harder to get in the back...I was just kidding and I get it.
