Question Cover for Tub Holes from Rubicon Rocker Rails?

Hi all, I have a 2010 Rubicon and I just put ShrockWorks rocker guards on it. That left the holes in the body from the old Rubicon rails. Does anyone know if a company makes something that covers that section or plugs the holes? It looks so ugly and it's driving me crazy. Thanks!

What do you mean by 'holes in the body'? Are you referring to the mounting holes underneath in the pinch seam that the rock rails mount to?

Yes, those holes. I just found the Poison Spyder Body Armor and I think those might work with my ShrockWorks rails and cover the holes. It's tough to tell from the pictures. Any idea?

Those are factory mounting hole's, and are on all JK's & JKU's.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a company making something that covers them, either in a sheet of metal or plastic or with plugs.

I agree that it doesn't look very good. I just masked mine off and painted it with some flat black paint. Pretty much invisible now.

That's an interesting way to fix it. I like it! I just talked with Poison Spyder and they said their Body Armor will cover the holes. It also protects the bottom of the tub so I think I'm going to go that route. If anyone knows of a cheaper solution, though, I'm all ears.

Maybe the UFOs from Vector Offroad? They use them on the tailgate and hood to cover holes.

Those UFOs are pretty cool, thanks for telling me about them. They're big, though, so I think it wouldn't fix the ugly.

Oh cool, do you have pictures of how it covers the holes? How do you like the ShrockWorks rails? I've had mine for a few months now and I think they stick out too far but they're beefy.
