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'd be nervous as hell that the bit would slip right through into the metal behind it. Did you use something to prevent that. I have black anyway and can't see there being enough contrast to justify this in my opinion but the green one looked great.

I got a silver and I'm sure it's gonna look good... I'll do it as soon as someone confirms that it doesn't whistle.... =)

MBRP did this to their SEMA JK and it looks awesome check the thread. I agree that on black it prob won't look all that striking but on the colored JK's it looks awesome!

Default door handles

I done mine last August and have not had any problems. Nothing has broke and they don't whisle. I have yellow an they look great. I used a heavy terrycloth towel between the handle and the metal panel, it worked great.

Youre so lucky youre a tattoo artist. My dad has always told me to become one, Ive been good at drawing (like legitimately good) for years and draw tattoos for people all the time, just dont have the balls to do the actual tattoo myself

If your Jeep is all black you could paint the inside of the holes red or something to stand out.
