Default Poor Jeep :(

I drove bu this place and I was excited to see a built JK on the lot as I passed by. Upon closer look : (

And why would anyone drill the body all over to put that lame aluminum foil all over it? This thing is going to rust to hell here in the salt.

What's wrong with diamond plate? I think it looks great with the blue. Plenty of contrast. That thing looks plenty capable on the trail, too.

The no-fender look seems a bit out of place on a showroom floor, especially combined with the steps.

I like the trek tops, not a chrome/bright polished metal fan.

That doesn't look like a showroom; I see a Collision Repair sign on the side - maybe a Bodyshop or Service area of some sort? Maybe it was traded into a dealership that way??

Either case, not a big fan of the diamond plate polished alum/steel/chrome look - and that thing definitely needs some fenders of some sort to make the stock bumpers not look goofy. Plus, a little excessive on the bling with diamond plate on sections of the steps . Oh well, to each, their own - just not my cup of tea

We use diamond plate on the easy coast to cover up rust and rot so we can pass inspection... I think black diamond plate would look cooler.
