JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I've always loved the performance and reputation of OME but as a Creative Director by trade, I really hated the branding/look of them and my Jeep is all about the little details. I've got a Bright White JK with black as a secondary colour and and have slowly been doing gold accents (calipers, diff covers etc.) and wanted to do the same with my suspension. Check out the custom decal I made which I will be putting on my suspension once I repaint my Nitro Chargers. I'll post photos once I repaint, apply and then clear over top of it all but wanted to share the design and rendering for now - I think it's pretty cool!

I'm not a big fan of the color but like the design. However I know there are a lot of people in south Louisiana that would really dig your color choices...Saints.

Very awesome, definitely better looking than the original.

Are you going to apply a vinyl decal, then clear over it? Or perhaps use a vinyl mask, paint the black, then clear over that? The shocks would see a lot of mud/dirt, so I would think some heavy 2K clear will help with its longevity

Yeah, I plan on spraying all gold and then doing matte black cut vinyl (as I often work with it for vehicle graphics etc.) and then clearing over that. Thanks for the feedback!

There's an echo in here! xD

That looks good! I like it more than the factory finish. I've got ome nitro chargers going on mine the 7th of March.
