I Just realized I did not get the angles correct..hmm oh well, What are some of your thoughts?
Jeep Info
94 Sahara 4.0L
Manual trans
160k miles
the interior was painted Desert Tan by the PO I think I may keep it that way and just do the exterior. However, I was going to add so stuff on the inside such as brochures, first aid kit and pelican case. I was also going to do a custom number "17"

You can probably fix the front angle, and the back looks good to me. I also like the tan interior.
