Yes it is. And let me tell you this, you wouldnt think a steering wheel would make a difference....this one feels awesome! I love it. Its thicker and has a ton more cushion! Its amazing! Well worth the $$

For shows, I take black duplicolor paint and paint the stuff like the front swaybar and also paint blue the underside of the side skirts...where those nicks and stuff get discolored...really, really easy to do and makes a world of difference....of course, I also paint my fuel tank black as well

To be honest I love my jeep. I dont have any plans on getting rid of it anytime soon. I would rather put a new motor in it then get rid of it. I have 147k miles on it. Since I have owned it I put a battery in it, TPS sensor, and an outer tie rod end. Thats all. I take care of it, change the fluids, and keep care of it. Some people have had problems, but for the most part, they are great vehicles and I love mine

I can say that it makes a ton of difference...... I too need to clean my side skirts and whole underside of my car now. I'm slacking there.

Thanks guys! I would much rather be out driving the car then cleaning it, but with snow out, it aint coming out for a while haha. So Might as well clean it. Especially since I dont plan on getting rid of it for a long long time

All that work you could of just jacked the car up to get more area to spray and blacked your wheel wells out with paint gun and black paint, all vehicle detail shops use this method and not only will it look better it will keep it dark
