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.

Default Your own matte black

i ment your own in the title, sorry for that. I always wanted my JK to be matte back and I saw a while ago a member posting a pic from another forum of a matte black JK. So this is my matte black JK. what do you think?

Thats actually kind of cool... looks good. probably cost a few bucks I'm sure...

Looks good, and probably helps protect the paint as well, taking the brunt of whatever scratches.

Are the wheels painted... they sort of look like stock wheels... powdercoat?

you get my approval, looks nice

dang, I was hoping I could find that aftermarket for the fogs... I hate having them break (yes, I've had 2 break so far)

not bad looking. flat black or gun metal is what i'd get mine painted when the time comes.


btw, do you really run your tires at 44psi?

If you don't mind me asking, what does it run to have the Jeep wrapped? I've been looking at doing mine in a matte color, but dont want to paint it. I noticed you are in Kuwait, so I have no idea if the costs will be comparable though. Did they do in inside body color parts of the doors too?
