Default replace ugly faux silver/gray colors
Ok...I cannot stand the ugly (IMHO) fake silver/gray colors on the JKs (on the bumpers and on the rings around the vents).

Has anyone seen any replacements for those things:
1. Black replacement part for the silver portion of the rear bumper (I've got a Warn Rock Crawler coming in for my front bumper)-not sure I want a new Warn rear bumper--pricey.
2. Black vent rings-to replace those ugly silver/gray rings that are there now.

On a side note, has anyone seen stone guards for the headlights/driving lights (and not those nasty looking euro trash covers that don't protect) like they have for the TJs etc?

Thanks in advance--looking to get my JK not to look so trashy/flashy.

I like the silver on the trim parts. But I did get a silver Jeep too.

Yep, they are all removable. Put them up on ebay, somebody will buy them. They buy everything else.

Taking them off is soooo easy to do. Turn 1/4 + pull.
