Default Paramount restylings jk lightbar

This is the 2nd item I have purchased from paramount restylings and am more than thrilled. Not only is it affordable but it offers more than just bumpers. The first thin I installed were the grille inserts, very easy and I plasti-dipped them. Then the fun part, I decided to paint the light bar the color of my JK but with a twist. With 4-5 coats of Rust-Oleum’s Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2x 249120 - Click image for larger version

Looks amazing! The Paramount restyling light bar is easy to install if you know that some bolts need to be placed first or the holes will seem to not line up but they do. It comes with a rubber insulator to protect factory paint.

Very cool! Good looking Jeep. It's all in the details!!!!
BTW...Are the side support bars thin? Would that work with an AEV style snorkel?
Thanks

I've been trying to get ahold of them for almost a week to buy a lightbar mount and they won't respond:/

Use eauto grilles on ebay. They sell it for the cheapest. Free shipping.
