Default Made my first MODs
Well, after 2 months and 3,000 miles, I finally made my first MODs to my '12 JK. Simple and small, but it's not completely stock anymore. I used Plati Dip to paint the antenna and taillights. I'll post more pics tomorrow when the suns out.

I thought I would pass this along.
One of my first low $ easy mods that really makse a visual difference was painting the stock muffler black. One can of high temp, flat black grill paint from the hardware store and the muffler disappears.

Yes, modding is an addiction. Just wait until your new habit makes you bleed

I did 3 coats, but they were fairly heavy coats.

I did my door hinges too, my Mango's not that far off from your color. I did 6 coats on each hinge, still only used one can.
