the wheels and headache rack look shocking :naw:
you sure its a Starwood build its missing the signature caveman grill. :cheesy:
I normally like the JK-8's but I wouldn't have this one in my driveway looking like that.
 
Some things I like, some I hate. Love the color/finish, as usual. Headlights IMHO look great. Suspension seems nice. Wheels are ghetto looking dubs. Back rack and roof rack look weird. AEV hood is great. Like the front bumper. Hate hate hate the grill, but at least it's not a unibrow. :D
 
I'm literally having a panic attack right now. WTF? One of my favorite configurations for the JKU (JK8) and they ruined it. Whoever made that needs to be nominated to get Ebola... seriously!
 
My biggest gripe would be about the bad craftsmanship. Look at the cable ties and wire loom running down the windshield, and the hack job beside the front shock reservoir (see the marks where their cutting tool slipped?) Also it wouldn't have hurt somebody to do a little grinding where those Smittybilt fenders meet the front grille beside the headlight. The back end looks like it is sagging, and are those back tires going to clear the body? (EDIT: is this thing airbagged maybe? Can't tell from the photos)

If this was a rig that was going to get wheeled, most of these things wouldn't be of concern - but this is a show vehicle at the BIGGEST show in the world. :grayno:
