well if you ever decide to ditch the blue paint... ive heard a few people say to use brake fluid and let it soak on the parts and it should remove the paint and leave the original look.... now i have not tried this yet but im very anxious to know if it really works.
i painted afew pieces on my old jimmy that my parents have now and my moms dogs chipped the painted pieces all up so its either buy all new parts or see if the brake fluid really works and leaves the stock finish....

So i got a way for my lip to work with grill. I used screws instead of zip ties, becuase it was easier to keep in this position. Do you guys think its a clean look using screws, and not zip ties? Some people poke fun about zip ties holding stuff togather? And for the lip im using same screws but with these black clips that the screw go through. The screws will also be showing, but is that normal with a lip?
