My vote is for the jk signals I literally did mine today. On the flare looks clean though too.
I scrape the bottom lip. There have been a couple of times it went slightly over the bottom lip
It looks really good. With the hole saw in the grill, how did you clean up the edges? You’ve been making some serious moves I missed somewhere. HiLines.
EDIT: What size shoes are those? They ain’t 32’s

Thanks! I think it’s a good move. It’s growing on me. Next I’ll do the driver’s side, clean up the wheel wells and paint all that black. Looks like you did the same. Also sort out the side marker and turn signal. I think the side marker is best where you or @jjvw put it. I might look at putting it in the center hole rather than the lowest. Hopefully get done by this Friday so I can snow wheel on New Year’s Day!
Did you trim 3/16” off the front flare where it crosses over your Savvy Rock Slider so it would sit flush?
My sliders don’t go all the way to the opening so mine sit against the fender and had very little gap but I still masked the flare off from the outside, tight into the corners and tooled 791 DOW black silicone to shut out the daylight, RTV would work too.

I've been toying with the idea of putting lights in my grill or not.
Something I say in a video was some off-road lights, don't know if they were flood or spot but they has marker lights on the side of the light that you could use as turn signals. If I could find some smoke colored round lights that were 3 wire between 1-2.5" round I'd put them into my dash.
One other way is I saw a TJ with some rectangle shaped lights similar to the stock fender lights mounted into the grill.

I totally looked for those smoke one's in a 3-wire and just could not find them. I gave up.
Same here. I really wish I could find them in anything from 3/4"-2.5".

Use the amber bar in the middle as your turn signal. But you wouldn't have a running light with this.
That's interesting. I've done all my headlight work, pretty stock, but bulbs are outstanding with the H4 Headlight Harness. The light really gets out there! (but no turn signals
). I guess I could just go straight all the time.
I guess I coudl still put the little 3/4" amber ones in the grill. They might look stupid. When they come in I'll mock them up and see.
Here check these out.

Could use the outer LEDs for turn and the inner for marker?

Here ys go. H4 bulbs and the LEDS are 3 wire so marker & turn signal

It would be really clean looking. And then install a side marker like Dr Dmoney

The H4’s are a very interesting solution. I already have better bulbs I could switch in, then sell mine. Hmm....
