As for the piece that was cut for the opening and closing of the door, it was attached using 3M tape, some other bonding stuff, and 3 screws from the inside of the door. I figured If it has taken me this long to do the project, then it was going to stay on there for the longest time afterwards.

If I had it to do all over again I would say "yes." I wanted my excursion (around here at least) to be different than the others. After doing this I know it is.


Now all I need is bigger tires and a lift

that looks pretty awesome. the best version I've seen so far on a X.

I would suggest partially putting the old mud/splash guards back on though. painted white of course. those holes are obvious

They look great, just need the bigger lift and tires to go with them. We all know how it goes battling everything to get a project done.

Mine is originally a limited, so my cladding (tan) wrapped all the way around the wheel and back (one piece). I need to look into buying the piece from the xlt or base model I believe. Then I can do the cutting, painting and attaching process all over again.
