thanks for being honest!!...my jeep is more of a city jeep....not trying to make it a hummer...or pimp my ride.....just give it a better look than factory...

im not going to need a winch..so my bumper options decrease by 90%....

any other ideas>?>..for bumpers and nerf bars>? perhaps black>>


im going with dc-1 black wheels (see pic),,, looking for a little chrome to accent...



thanks guys

I think it will look good with the stock bumper if you put some nice, fat tires on it. A street Jeep doesn't need chrome to make a statement.

Just for fun, here are some pics of Jeeps with DC1s. For some reason, everyone who gets those wheels has a black or a red Jeep.

chrome used to be cool until it was misused so much to a point of no return, there is a limit to how much chrome i think should be used and still be cool. the bumpers are fine but i then would go with black wheels and black side steps , you get the picture to much of anything , going overboard and anything that spins should be outlawed. just my 2 cents

on a black JK that Mopar bumper would look badass with those DC wheels. i saw an unlimited sahara - black with this setup and it did not look like too much chrome. just enough to accent but not overboard. i have a little chrome on my JK but nothing bling about it. that bumper will look perfect in my opinion but as our sayings go, to each his own
