What's Wrong With This Wrangler?

Wow this was the exact kit... right down to the flags.

It was literally the 1st result in a search for "fake Jeep fender vent"

The Wrangler needs a wash and probably a wax. Those finger prints on the door frame would drive me crazy. I’m digging the color.

You can buy fake vents to slap on a JK.

Mm. I admit to being a super purist as it concerns functionality. I was glad to discover that the fender vents on my JLU actually serve a legitimate purpose, and aren't an aesthetic afterthought. (coughRubiconcough)

I'm not buying the legitimate purpose cover-up story.

It's obviously a JL with fake wheels, fenders, doors, bumpers, and top.

That was the color of my last Jeep. Loved it. Looked like grey blue mud unless freshly washed and all the sparkle and color popped. Then dirty again in a few days.

yea i'm not a fan of unfunctional plastic, it's as bad as chrome.

I thought the fender vents on the JL were there to reduce pressure under the hood and stop the flutter that JKs had. I don’t care for the look, but got used to it. If I had an earlier Jeep, no way would I put a fake vent on it.

Actually, that is a JL fender vent with a JK stuck to it.

Uncommon color.....Steel Blue Metallic. Only an option in 2007, 2008, if I am not mistaken. I loved mine. Looked good clean, but looked great dirty.

Definitely wasn't an 07 colour. That was the year I got my first one, a Greystone Pearl which was discontinued after 07. The weird green colour was also a 1 off colour that year.

The Jeep I bought in NJ was a 2007 with Steel Blue Metallic. So it must have been available part of the year.

Wouldn't be surprising. "Steel Blue Metallic" was everywhere in the mid- to late-aughts. That was coincidentally the name of the paint color on my 2006 Ridgeline.

Maybe it was not available in the Great White North?

Could be, Greystone Pearl isn't on there and mine was definitely that colour. Now that I think about it. We may have had blue, it isn't wasn't very popular maybe? I think Rescue Green and Greystone were only on 07s.

Found this gem. Looks like Greystone was a late addition, and not in the early brochure I have.
