Thanks guys.
Only the AEV hood because I like the look. I don't go off roading ever, and if I decide to down the road, I will make sure I get a lift installed first.
Looks like I'll go with the flat fenders and, 35's w either 17s or 18s. Will I need a new rear bumper to hold the bigger spare tire?
Also, last opinions? Leveling kit good enough to avoid rubbing? Also, how do I know what type of backspacing I'll need?

1. Bushwacker Flat Flares in order to run (if possible, thats why I'm asking)
1a. 35 inch tires, Possibly Nitto Grapplers
1b. 18 inch rims. 17 inch rims will save you about $100/tire and give you a bit more sidewall which may not care about if you're never going to take it off road.
2. Metalcrafters Crome grill insert As mentioned above, do the 'grill mod' yourself and please re consider the chrome.
3. AEV Heat Reduction Hood. you could use these funds to buy yourself a rear bumper and tire carrier to support the weight of your 35" spare.
4. Of course a stubby 8' antenna. Looks like the best mod I've seen! I've got the 14" and it works great.
you might want to invest in some new wheels with 4.5" backspacing to avoid any rubbing with your lack of lift and those 35's. I've seen guys run the TF leveling kit and 35's and flats and it looks pretty doable.

You bought the most capable consumer vehicle for off-roading on the planet... without any intention whatsoever to go offroad?
Your stock Jeep can handle quite a bit. Take it through some dirt & mud. I'll bet you get the itch

Hey guys,
New to the Jeep game. Just picked up a 11' Jeep Sport 4 Door and looking to do some simple mods and am clueless. Initially I was debating putting a lift, but after further research I think I may be adding the following. If something doesn't add up or needs to be changed, please let me know. Pics will be soon to follow as I am moving on this really fast.
1. Bushwacker Flat Flares in order to run (if possible, thats why I'm asking)
1a. 35 inch tires, Possibly Nitto Grapplers
1b. 18 inch rims.

3. AEV Heat Reduction Hood.
4. Of course a stubby 8' antenna. Looks like the best mod I've seen!
I do not go on trails, I live in New Jersey! I'm looking for an aggressive look. I'm not opposed to putting a lift on it, yet I don't want to void the warranty this early in its life, she only had 2500 miles on her.
Anything else I should know please suggest. I am new to this and all comments, thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Ha, I will take consideration into the offroading. I do travel to the OBX often and am actually headed down next week.
Can anyone provide me a link to the correct Teraflex leveling kit mentioned? Is there any other lifts that are reasonable in price?
