Nope. Would never know it wasn't factory painted. They did a match card and compared outside and with some flashlight with different bulbs. The guy looked at it and said he wanted to adjust. I agreed. I look at and adjust color everyday for a living so I could tell he knew his stuff. One adjustment and it was painted. Very happy with it. Should have taken my flares there too.

Installed my Inspired Engineering cube LEDs in my LOD mid width tonight. These are the package deal they are running with the brackets for the OEM mounts and a plug and play harness. Other than having to Dremel out the holes in the brackets, knew this was coming since you have to drill out the stock fog holes a little for the LOD, the installation was a snap. Really pleased with the fit and finish. I went amber floods because I intend on using them as true fogs. Let me know what you think and go order some from Sami. Top notch service and will bend over backwards for your specific application.

Next up are his rock lights. Sami built me an 8 plug harness speced out to length for my locations on my jku. Those are going to be sweet.

That is great... I manage a collision shop and was thinking it would be a hard color to butt match with out a blend. But I haven't done a spray out yet to look at the color and see how close it is. I'm glad they were able to do it for you. Sounds like a good shop an the painter knew what he was doing. I'm torn on the hood still think thinking I like the AEV hood the most. No more jeep funds for me at the moment.

No, just needing to do some bumper shuffling. Going to stretch her out just a little so I'm going to need a stubby front. The lod rear and the TF carrier do not work together with a 37" so the bumper has to go. Hate that as I love that bumper.

Had to get one of my 6 PAks charged today. Glad I'm in the middle of a bumper swap. Had to get the forklift out to fully extend the shock.
