Just a thought, but I think if you were to go black on the flares and corners, the blue on the cage wouldn't stand out as much. I kind of like the idea of going white on the body and then that blue would really pop. Personally, I like the idea of black armor on my silver JK, but you're going for something more custom looking, right? So go for it!

Yeah I kinda want to do something different. It was an easy choice on my TJ it was a black Sahara so I went black on all the armor. I’m thinking white just for the same reasons as you stated.

Now this is my question should I go all white or satin black on the flares with white corners. Or I could do black on flares and corners. I was going to try and do the cage in blue knda like they did on extreme 4x4 did with the red. They used dupli bed liner and a metal flack with a red top coat. Want to do blue. What should I do?

Got a few things done. Going to the paint shop Tuesday for a complete repaint including the cage. Going back white with a blue cage. A few pics to see progress.

I like the matching white armor - was the Stone White paint difficult to find, and if not, would you mind sharing your source? Thanks.

Like the way it looks man. Why did you cut the full corner down to add the poison spider flare instead of just doing away with the poison spyder and making a flare to weld directly to the corner.

I don't like the look of a weld on flare. They stick out to far and I don't like the way it would leave the space at the bottom where the space for the flare would be. I didn't know it was built like that so I already had them painted. Had to cut them down about 4 inches to fit so just going to have the jeep repainted now that it's all together. Got it all wet sanded today and striped back down. Going to start sanding the bumpers and sliders tomm.
