Hey Guys!

Just wanting to hear your thoughts on getting blackout vinyl for front bumper on a Grey CJ
Will it look stupid??

Let me know!

It will still look quite nice. It won't be to the same effect as other more contrasting colours, but there is still a difference to be had.

Yeaah thats exactly what I was thinking!
But thaanks Probably will do it!

Check the garage. There are a few there I can think of. Luke D, Ajjnr86.

Pictures say a 1000 words.

The best thing about vinyl and chrome strip is it is cheap and easy to install. Put them on and see for yourself. Mod costs around $50.

Yeeah nice! Thaanks

Soooo true!! Might as well give it a go then!
and the side number plate mount worth investing in??

I think every colour in the cj range highly benifits from the front bumper blackout (except the black!!)
Having said that, as I always say, forget what others think. It's your car, you have to drive it and you have to live with it.
If you like it, go for it.

P.S. I am not at all trying to see you a bumper kit, however, I do have some in stock

Even on black it still adds an effect! Some ppl may say it's silly blacking-out black, however i'm not so much blacking-out as I am adding contrast. Putting the vinyl over the nose piece adds a contrast because it is no longer shiny black and therefore doesn't reflect light....which is just like the grill on the rest of the front bumper.

Check out my pics in my garage and judge for yourself. In sunlight you see the difference of the black-out and imo it adds a nice effect. It's in a sense, like having a black RA/evo...black on black.....since most ppl put the black out to add a sportier look more like RA/Evo etc.

Colour-wise, a black-out on grey will stand out more than black on black.

I agree with you there. It does make it better, even on a black.

hey dejayhan, i was just wondering if you ended up putting the black out on? i've got the same colour, and i was just wondering how much better (if at all) it looks with it on?

Also does anyone know if they are easy to install, or am i better off trying to find someone to do it for me?

Ryan that looks awesome,

How much did that set you back?

EDIT: Don't worry I completely missed that we got a pro sticker maker in the ranks

Thanks for that RyanMK... Ok so it looks pretty sweet with the black out!

The blackout looks good on any colour, though if i had grey, personally i wouldn't bother
