Looks like it will get you where you want to go...and it looks like just about anywhere...
Nice job...although I agree with HeaVEEweight, the headlights and grill in black would really set it in place.
How about black diamond plate running boards and black lug nuts too...

Okay I am sitting here staring out window at my ex and pondering. I am tired of the estate green...i hate prissy vehicles with a passion, i think you ex is beyond sex beast stage. I have taken notes now just need to act.
You have done a great job. I am most impressed. Kinda makes me say "this is what the ex should look like no matter what" I always thought the ex looked like a football player in a tutu. It has always been missing the beef...well relieved to see someone found it.

Gonna concentrate on the internals now.... DP tuner first and foremost with a 203* 'stat and MBRP 4".
For those that are interested in removing the front swaybar, I have noticed no major difference in the handling and I am still waiting on installing my Bilsteins. I understand the importance to you tow jockeys for having swaybars but for those that like to get dirty, it's an unneeded hinderance for maximum suspension travel and clearance, imo.

Can have the best of both worlds with quick connects (and disconnects 
) All my jeeps had them...
Can't imagine my ex without both a front and rear sway bar !!!
Then I'd miss HALF the fun of my wife yelling when her C_ap starts sliding around in back
but guess with the large footprint you have, the sway bar isn't missed!

I would disagree about the highway driving, been on the four lane at 70 mph on more than one occasion.... mind you I'm not doing any major weaving in and out of traffic but quick lane changes are no problem.... can't wait til the Bilsteins arrive!
Maybe the wider foorprint makes a difference but from what I've read the swaybar isn't as crucial for everyday driving....
