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.

I could be thinking of someone else but im pretty sure the black vented area is a vinyl wrap and the rest are stickers, I dont believe any of it is paint

Vinyl wrap would be challenging in this area, I'm meeting with my painter tonight and adding this to the list as a possible option.

Very nice. How hard was it to wrap that area?

Thanks dude

It definitely isn't super easy, but I'm not a professional by any means. Just buy enough to do it three or four times. lol I used my moms hair dryer to heat the vinyl to get it to conform to the curves and the wiper motor vent. Just be patient and teach yourself.
