Default JK: Sick of standard

ok i have had the jk for 4 months now and all bar lights and my red/pink grill it has stayed stock
so i got sick of it so bare with me as the work is going on and you may wonder why i have done what i have done but i have a picture in my head of what i want so it was time to start
first flatties
the jk has pretty flexible guards so i was worried about the dammage i would sustain if i hit something with tube fenders so i cut down the ome ones
yes angle grinders and a 4 month old car hehe
started with the rear by marking with tape so i could get an idea of how it would look

then came the cutting i used the mighty dremel with a course metal cut off disc it gave a nice fine cut

after removing the outer peice only the inner guard remained

i then removed the inner guard and a test fit of the side steps which i got off ebay for $100 (girl freind is only 5 foot had to help her out

more to come
