Duplicolor Bedliner for me- hinges, grill
Works great no worries- It's a hinge not a thermal nuclear warhead detonator!
Note: Go to Sears (or your favorite tool center) and get the Torx socket set. That way you can use a ratchet handle to get some leverage on the bolts. You need to get this set anyway for the Jeep.

I have used the Rust-Oleum Truck Bedliner I was looking for Duplicolor but the Autozone I went to doesn't sell it anymore. But with the results, and the awesome finish it has I won't use nothing else anymore, that's for sure!

Hey Travis- thanks for all the tips.
I did my hood hinges yesterday, and they came out schweet!
The biggest problem in my case was getting the driver's side door re-aligned. Took over an hour of tweaking each piece. Passenger side? I was done in 5 minutes.
Anyway, thanks for the help- this looks 1000x better than stock and 1000x better than rugged ridge.

Are you talking about these?
Rugged Ridge 11205.10 - Rugged Ridge Hinge Overlay Set in Textured Black for 07-15 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
By rclark
Well....One good thing about these covers is...The door won't swing
open far enough to hit your fenders when the strap is off
. Bad part...
they RUST. Look at the picture, the bolts turns white and then to rust.
The hinge is rusting also, after just 1 year. They would look good on a
white jeep brand new, but plan on painting/undercoating them next year.
I also had to grind a little off the hinge so I could remove the doors with
out taking the covers off.
