Next Mod???

[Bslagle05]

So I'm already planning out my next mod :D and was wanting opinions on what you think I should do... I can't spend more than 400$. I was thinking between Diablo Predator, get my current front air dam and side skirts painted, new speakers, what else??? And Scott I know what your gonna say :p

[Matt]

Paint the air dam and side skirts... I think that makes such an improvement to the exterior. Either that or some new springs. I say finish out the exterior first, then move onto interior or performance. Just my $.02

[Bslagle05]

I've kinda done a little bit of exterior, interior and performance... ive started all of them and havent really "completed" any of them hah

haha, that's true... I say finish the exterior!!

I say paint the air dam and skirts too. I'll be getting my skirts painted when I get my new fender painted from the accident. I wish they could spray the pillars black too but I'll jyst get the vinyl for them.

I'm doing the pillars too (when I get a job). I think it looks bad ass on lighter colored WK's.

Awe thanks Matt... LOL

[B.P.O.D]

[Matt]

Awe thanks Matt... LOL

haha, I see what you did there, :slapfight:

[Bslagle05]

the only problem is some fawker put a 12" long scratch in my front bumper so I feel like I should get that fixed before I paint anything else especially the front air dam... but I dont wanna spend the money on that haha

[White WK Swagga]

IMO I would do springs and shocks before the predator.

[Scottina06]

I wouldnt paint the stock skirts and lip.......get the mopar kit if you go that way.

sway bars maybe?

Why not Scott??? The overland has the same skirt as the other WK's but the overland's come painted. I like the Srt's but to me it really doesn't matter how far it comes down. I just want it color matched to the body.

[Scottina06]

becasue the parts(other than an overland) arent meant to be painted. Why not spend $100 more and get the mopar kit?

$100 more??? What yu talkn bout Willis??? How much is the srt side skirts??? Do they come painted???

[Bslagle05]

I got quoted 350$ to get my air dam and skirts painted... The cheapest I could find the mopar body kit was like $550... Scott you know of somewhere to get it cheaper??

the mopar kit includes the srt side skirts and a front air dam.

Nice signature quote blake...

[Bslagle05]

thought youd like it :)

I was figuring $400-450 for paint. If you were quoted $350 they arent gonna smooth them and paint...theyre just gonna paint them. Then there is getting the paint to stick. Yes i know any shop is gonna say they wont have a problem........but the parts have been in the elemenst for years exposed to all kinds of chemicals. Unless they do a perfect job....you will get paint damage/flaking etc. And it is a fact that non factory paint is not as good as factory. Just spend the extra $200 then and get a killer mod.....instead of one that looks OK. My opinion of course.

He told me he will sand them completely smooth because he was counting up in his head how many hours of sanding he was going to have etc.

[Scottina06]

thats a pretty good deal Blake....but the mopar is so sick and you guys know it

[White WK Swagga]

does the mopar come painted? prob not. But what is the price range of just the side skirts?

[Scottina06]

yes the mopar comes painted

the srt skirts have varied in price...but I believe they are in the $600 range right now-unpainted

[Bslagle05]

I just have a big scratch on my front bumper I feel like I should get fixed before I paint the front air dam and side skirts... and everywhere is quoting me $500+ :(

[NHWK05]

Personally, If i has the $400 (limit) to blow,

Sway bars,
or
a bunch of misc things to finish it up before getting the wheels and tires i want.

List, Get vinyl shop to black out pillars between windows, ($75 ish)
Tint front windows (100 ish)
Bilstein rear shocks at least, save for fronts later.
Find a used SRT8 grille (just the mesh)
Power wire

This list could go one forever, but i could prolly get most of that stuff for the $400 or less range.

I would say get the mopar kit dude, spend the extra cash for something worth the quality. There is a slight difference in which your car will look more "musclier". And you can def tell the difference since you have a silver car. Therefore a more aggressive look to the jeep, and the wheels def compliment them.

But like you said, the guy is going to sand them down etc, then why not. As long as you are happy with the result and with what you paid for.

Keep us updated though......
