I actually love those taillights just the way they are, but if you were looking to get rid of the chrome ring this thread is pretty awesome. Best way I've heard of yet.

Whoa dude that Jeep is off the chain!

I understand about getting bored. I change my vision for the look of my car on a weekly basis.
