JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Cut mine this week, but wanted some support and for it to be a little different. So my son and cut and rolled the edge underneath for perimeter support. Bought some used textured flares off Craigslist (in case I didn't like it), cut them and ended up painting them MOPAR black.

How did you roll the edge? They look great!

How did you paint them? Is the texture still there or is it smooth?

I would also like to know how you rolled the edge? Did you use a heat gun?

Those look so good nice job. Mine look awful and not sure how to fix them.

Thanks all! My 16 yr old son and I used a propane torch, and heated along the line we wanted to fold the plastic. Wear some gloves cause it gets pretty hot. As far as paint, we sanded the texture a bit, then lots of light coats; dry time; sanding and re-coat. They look good
