Mad Dog diamond planting install (help needed)
Hi guys,
I recently purchased Mad Dog diamond plating for my ride & need everyone's opinion on how to proceed. I'm not sure if I should just install them as-is or if I should get the bush whacker fender flares. Also, I was thinking about maybe trimming them down a little so they aren't as tall. I'm pretty psyched...I got a fat deal on the plating & really want to put these on. I'm just not sure if they're going to look right with the stock flares & the diamond plating going half way up the doors. Whatcha think?
Below are some pictures of the plating & a picture of Mad Dog's sick rig.

Rust? What rust? Are callin' my ride rusty? Nah, I have always been a fan of diamond plating...not the "chromey" kind but I do like the look of these. I do like that they are unique and that not many FJ's have them. But they are tall, taking up 1/3 of the door...not sure about that look.

Hey what up PBnFJ,
It's pretty cold that we bumped into each other the other day. Is that a 6" lift? What kind?
Well, they suggest applying the self-tapping screws to the pre-drilled holes on the plating. But the plating has 3M tape on the back. Not sure if I really want to commit put holes in my doors.

John,
You should go for it. I think it would make the rig stand out and would definitely look sick! Bushwhackers too!

Right on BZ, you are my go to guy! I have a few projects...the Spods ( front bumper lights), the mad dog plating, the dual battery kit and now a new Kenwood head unit...
Thanks

Crap, my bushwackers just arrived and they do not fit the rear fenders because of the Fab Fours rear bumper. I called Bushwackers, I remembered seeing a FJ at the SEMA show that had a FabFour rear and bushwackers,,,but they said it didn't look right and that it just doesn't fit and looks like $h!T.
I was really looking to do both the diamond plating and the flares, What about Bushwackers on the front nothing in the back?
Hmmm, Any suggestions?
