The Building of Compromise

Met up with 8POUND today and scored some fog lights for the new bumper. Thanks again, man. Nice meeting you.

You need a pink Jeep logo for the grill now.

edit: I bought a black one on Amazon for $10-15 bucks a few years ago. Just watch because there are several different fonts & some look goofy compared to the stock one. Little pink paint
& viola!

Thanks for the tip. I'll let her know. Not sure if she's planning on changing that or not.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Not sure if we're going to lift it, but if we decide to, that sounds perfect.
 
While I in no way approve of this color in any way, shape, or form, we did just do a mod on our EVO fascia that I think turned out pretty cool.

Welded on a thin piece of stainless that we painted with Krylon.

Evo Fascia done. She loves it. More of the frame needed to cut off than I thought, but it wasn't bad.

Looks good!! I was really apprehensive about chopping my frame as well but I am glad that I did. Looks much better that way.

Thanks. Same here, I told her this morning that we shouldn't cut it, but when I was lining it all up, I knew it was the right thing to do. I used every last dull tooth of my existing used sawzall blades to make it happen and barely got it done with out a trip to the store. We're both glad we decided to cut the frame.

Man, your wife's Jeep is looking good. It's awesome that she is all in and making it hers.

Thanks. She really is enjoying this. Nice to see her take pride in a vehicle.
 
I wanted to do something similar with mine but got lazy. I initially did not trim my frame rails. It looked unfinished and the d-rings did not rotate up very well. I wish I would've done it the first time instead of removing everything. [emoji15]

Looks great! [emoji106]
