For those of you that installed...How the powder coating? Was thinking about purchasing the bare metal and prime and painting myself.

 

Just ordered mine!

 

I ordered mine already powder coated for ease of install. The finish is solid, time will tell how it holds up.

 

I got the bare metal and got a textures flat black powder coat. Only cost $35 to do it. Very easy install and looks great. The tramp stamp increases the cabin pressure when windows up and ac running but pulling some of the drain plugs in floor fixes the problem.

 

Thanks for sharing your pics! It looks sweet!

Should be getting it tomorrow! ..what size hole saw do I need?...and can I just use touch up paint after I make the cuts or did u guys prime the cuts first then color matched it?

 

Your really don't need a hole saw. Its i just scored the paint with razor blade along the stencil so i could see where they wanted the cuts and used a cut off wheel to complete the lines. You will need a small hole saw or step bit for the bolts that are thru the brace area. Just male sure when you cut on cut thru the outer skin. I used plastidip on all the bare metal edges to prevent rusting. Easiest if you pull hood off for sure.

 

Good weekend project! Follow the instructions and remember to take your time measure twice and cut once. The template makes this easy!!

Here are some pics...Jeep still a bit wet from the morning dew

 

perfect...this is the route I'm going to go. Just ordered the bare metal. Thanks for sharing.

 

I wonder if I could order this without the holes for the bumpers. I don't plan on folding the windshield down......ever.
