[/IMG] Hey guys , My first post and I finally made time to plasti dip my taillight bezel and the outer edge to match the SRT , I thought the reverse light lens looked too light and so had my tint buddy , darken them up. I think they came out pretty nice.

Here are Pics of reverse lights on , one with the parking lights on. Please note, I did not dip the reverse lights but covered them with 20% tint. The technique to get the border around the taillight is just to mask off the area of the taillight that you do not wish to dip and spray the rest .

Thanks for compliments , Here are the side pics of the Jeep as requested. The rims are 20x9 offset +34 PVD Dark chrome Spider Monkey SRT replicas with 295/45R20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X on them. The Jeep is lowered with Eibach 28108.540 Springs. I plan to plastic drip the front Jeep emblem and the white grill fascia , hopefully it will look good.

Thanks for the pics man!! Looks awesome with those rims. Im thinking on dipping in gloss black all the chrome including the side mirrors except the door handles which im debating wether to change them for a set of white ones or leave them like that, not sure yet what to do. I did a thread on things i've done so far to mine in case you wanna check it out

Gloss black would look great too, would like to see it when done, I would not dip the door handles too much for wear and tear for the plastidip. I was thinking of getting the mirror cover and door handles sprayed white by a body shop, it might be cheaper than purchasing them new. Your mods are fantastic , keep going .

Ebay, search for 20x9 Replica Jeep SRT-8 5x127 5x5 +34.7mm PVD Dark Chrome Wheels Rims 20" price is $968.99 shipped. Stock 20 inch tires will fit this rim and you will get a slightly stretched look which some like a lot, they do it on purpose, in a more pronounced way, on VIP styled cars. Your gas mileage will drop some maybe 0.5-1 mile per gallon and your acceleration will be slightly slower since the rims are wider and hence have a higher rotational mass.

Yes all chrome, actually PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) chrome is a higher quality finish like powder coated chrome compared with traditional chrome plating, you can google it , Not with TPMS from this particular seller but there are other sites that sell the rims with tires and TPMS included for a higher price. The new TPMS do not need to be specially linked with the Jeep.

Yes mine are dark chrome, but the "light" chrome PVD also exists, I just did a search and a seller on ebay has 20" Jeep Grand Cherokee Wheels Rims Chrome PVD 2013 -15 SRT8 Replicas 9113 20x10 for $549, they have some blemishes and 2 wheels have slight bends but they do exist. Read description. Up to you keep in mind these are 20 x 10 so heavier, they should still take stock tire size
