    Lou buddy......SICK MAN! I dig it bad man! The only thing I would say is get rid of ALL the chrome with that look. Get those moldings painted, black out the window moldings, etc. The chrome needs to go now. But I loooooove that look bro!!! Niiiiiiice........

    You can PM Palella, but I don't know if he does them anymore. But here's the proces.....
    1) Go to the dealer and order the basic plastic Laredo model door moldings. They are black abs plastic and say Grand Cherokee in embossed lettering. Also order 2 SRT4 logos from the Dodge Neon.
    2) Take them to a body shop and have them shave off the letters, to make the molding smooth.
    3) Have them sand, primer, paint, and clear the new moldings.
    4) Apply the SRT part of the SRT4 logo ONLY, to the molding.
    DONE!!!! :)

    I dunno bout that one bro. A black molding down the middle of the door, on a silver Jeep might look a little goofy.....

    Very very nice, Lou. Makes your rig look quite menacing.
    Hey, was there not a slotted rotor recall on the GCSRT's as well as the LX's? (I noticed your disks are smoothies).

    SWEET!

    I really want some aftermarket black wheels. I love the classic look of the shinny's and the mean look of the black. I must have both...

    $400 for coating the set seems like a great deal. Congrats!
