Default Looking for some input from my fellow Jeepers

Hey guys, before I ask I just want to wish that everybody had a great Christmas and a great New Year!!!

I was wondering about the AEV rear corner guard kit. I have a black 4 door JK and was wondering what you guys would think about them on a black Jeep. I have seen them on almost every other color and they look great! Just not sure how good they would look on black...

As well I'm currently running Hutchinson Beadlocks and recently my rear break caliper ceased up and dragged for a while and I didn't notice for a while but the brake dust has stained the wheel!!! I'm thinking about bedlining all the wheels but I'm having trouble convincing myself to do it...

Maybe someone with some photoshop experience could help me out here???

Thanks guys!!!

i'm not sure that the aev corner guards would look soo hot on your black unlimited. the warrior corner guards might. they are more of a tool box look and they come in stainless steel or black. might want to check into those.

Would bedlining the wheels make them harder to balance? Just a thought since bedliner is typically thick and has the little chunks in it.

Noticed a thread the other day and cannot find it quickly now, but one guy did bedline his wheels and said it did not cause any balancing problems. As I recall, he bedlined the stock wheels, but they did look good.

blacked out jeeps are cool! IMO the less chrome, diamond plate or stainless steel (unpainted) on a jeep the better. if you want to paint your rims (yours are nice and $$$) do it right, get them powder coated. your rims, black with unpainted bolts/nuts, would look sick! you can also black out the stickers too. just search for blacked out jeeps.
