Sweet!

Let me know when you grow tired of those flat fenders! Me want!

I have an assortment of those Vector UFO's and Mini's I bought when they were on sale and then never used them... Thanks for reminding me!

hahaha I don't think I'll ever get tired of them... I didn't know how I was going to feel about the ufos but I like them and think I want the pair for the hood since I don't see myself dropping the front window

I was half kidding.. plus, the rear four door flatties are a different profile than the two door.

I took the hood nipples off as well, but replaced them inexpensive surface caps rather than the UFO's. I think they were like $0.10 each.

Flying into LGA from Dallas this afternoon. Will be in long island for the next week and a half if anyone from the are wants to grab a drink and chat jeeps. I'm somewhat of a newbie to jeeps so bring the knowledge! Or we can just drink beer. Whatever works better.

They are fat spun aluminum washers, powder coated gloss black, with stainless hardware. They mount in the holes left in sheet metal when you remove things like the rear carrier, the footman's loop, the hood nipples and rear tire bumpers...

There was a forum special a few months back with a nice discount. I bought a bunch of them..can't remember how many.. but I never used them.

Click the pic..
