Bait and switch hmmm... Look using a picture of their "Show Wrangler" does not mean that is how they will look. Those creases demonstrate they are not a good fit. Since they are just in their 1st production run who knows what you will get but I assure you the ones on their show Jeep are not production panels. Just sayin if you get panels like these you need to hold them accountable. I like them assuming they fit and they make the RR doors viable.

Even this one is wrinkled and both of these pics are their Marketing pictures.

Meh. The only reasons people think Jeeps are gorgeous is because of their history and function. If they function, I'm good with them. Besides, a little sunlight and some summer driving should straighten them out. If not, iron them.

planning to stretch them out with some bungy cords on a table in direct sunlight for a few hours, should take care of the package creases. Thats what I did with my spider web shade top

@lightsout

I will agree that whomever their marketing manager is should get a slapped wrist. I would have waited until they were warmed up, wrinkles out.

However, my sunshade was the same way for about 1 hour and until it heated up and wrinkles gone nice and tight looking.

Best route is to lay them out in the sun before installing.

May I ask which tube doors you have?

I preferred the Mopar doors. The four 2” cross members provided the look that I liked and there are several 2” clamp on mirrors out there.

However the Mopar doors have two cross members providing more safety and containment whereas the RR doors with the single cross member in a terrible location will contain nothing, legs arms, pets kids, stuff can easily fall out of the RR doors. What were they thinking???

@aai and @HellaYella how did you paint the tube doors, rattle can or just take them to a paint/body shop, and if so, about how much $$?

the Rugged Ridge come with mirrors that look just like the mirrors that come on the Jeep doors from the factory

a buddy of mine was repairing a Dodge Charger in destroyer grey PPG color. Matched up perfect. Could possibly get those in rattle cans. But I had mine done, charged me $200 for the pair since he had it in the gun already.

Thanks, that isn't bad. I doubt I'd find someone using the Mojito paint. I'm on the fence on the tube doors, I thought plain black would be fine, but when I see the painted ones, they do look much better.
