Keep us updated! I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. Cutting on the jeep is always adventurous!

I could care less about the plastic. Burning also cutting the metal of the factory fenders and the support that will be viewable after the grill is cut. This parts won't be cheap to replace. But that's not what took so long, like a Tattoo this will be pretty much permanent so I really wanted to make sure that I wanted to do this, rather than waste my time and it look like crap and I don't like it

Well I cut the grill today and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. I still gotta cut the fender and the flare. Battery died on my DeWalt before I could today so I'll do that next weekend.

Picked up my resistors for my blinkers to keep em from blinking fast. Anyone know if it goes on power or ground wire? I'm assuming power wire?

Resistors to slow the blink rate with LEDs typically go in parallel with the LED. In other words, one side of the resistor goes to one side of the LED and the other side of the resistor goes to the other side of the LED. The resistors can get pretty warm, so make sure you install them somewhere they won't melt anything.
