Looks great so far!!

For striping, try plastidip- then you can try any combination you like. With the compass, maybe a horizontal line similar to Jurassic World?

For the hood, I think that you can get decals off Ebay/Etsy. They should match the red decently!

yea i was thinking about the horizontal line too since the shape of this thing is nothing like a Wrangler so i might look weird going up and over the windshield.

Love it. I was considering doing this with my 2009 Compass.

thank you. i say do it. although mine isnt a wrangler, i obviously modeled it after one. but i had to adjust some stuff about it to make it fit my jeep and still look good. ive had nothing but positive feedback on it and it definitely turns heads when driving.

This is the post for my Compass. I was debating a JW vs JP theme. I actually have sold the Jeep since this post, so it's no longer an option, but I'm in the market for early 90's wrangler to convert now. Problem is they are all rotted out here in New England, so I am looking to ship one here from Cali or some other dry place out West. I have a 2011 Audi Q5 Silver with 100k miles on it that I'll be replacing eventually. I might keep it and try to make it a JW Executive vehicle with the horizontal blue striping. Theres a guy here who did this with his silver Nissan XTerra and it came out great.
