Second that, it looks awesome as it is now.

I agree. Always nice to have definition and contrast. If you do around the windshield, may as well just do the entire body at that point. Think it looks great how it is

Wow, pylon, you've done a great job.

Didn't know you had it in you, it looks amazing!

Thanks for the opinions. These were the 2 Jeeps I was kinda taking inspiration from. Albeit these are both crazy expensive rigs, I was kinda trying to emulate them. I think I'm gonna sleep on it for a week or so.

I also wasn't sure if you wanted the entire panel done up to the door or not but you get the idea.
Thanks by the way!

Great job so far. It's been interesting following.

I think you should put some Flames on the hood.

Not really but I think the flat black hood could be broken up in some way but that may not be what you're trying to convey as a 4 wheeler.

I think next it needs a roof rack.

And dammit pylon, you're making me want to make my second/work truck into a bush truck. I'm pricing stuff out. Look what you did

I could see adding a black band under the door like in the first sample image tying everything together. I'm wondering if from a rock guard perspective that might not be a bad idea anyway?

Another half assed version with a bottom black "strip" and the windscreen frame in black.



I'm warming to the black strip at the bottom.

I dunno, I think doing the window trim in hot pink would really tie the jeep together.

Agreed on the black strip at the bottom. Would definitely tie things together nicely.

But yeah, I agree with others, the black stripe at the bottom looks like it would perfectly bring it all together.

x4. Doing the lower quarter is always good, and would tie in the colours as well

+1 for the barbie decal on the rear window, would tie everything together nicely.
