    4xG Front Matrix... Complete. It actually wasn't that complicated at all - I found the instructions to be satisfactory. A few clarifications could be done in one spot but otherwise - It only took me 1.5 hours to do - What took me the most time was running back and fourth finding out that I didn't have all the hardware because I didn't have factory tow hooks - That was a bit pain. Oh and East Carolina Jeep is awful. (they know absolutely nothing). I started a pretty detailed and intricate write up but by the time I got halfway I realized how easy it was to actually install - the first 3 steps wasn't bad at all.

    Nice AJ! You should paint the center Khaki like I did to match. It makes it look like it belongs a little more.

    So are you ever going to swap out those headlamps?

    Yeah, I wanted to swap the headlights while I was putting on the matrix but my oem's were all the way up stairs roughly 400 meters up hill then takran rlrvator and then dig them from under my bed.... I will have to take the matrix off yo put them back on.... Only thing ill probably do is disconnect my halo's and led's again as I got tired of them.... Again... Nathn do you know the specific paint brand and color you used to match?

    Their clear is some good stuff too! You know while you are at it you should open up your headlamps and paint them to match

    Thats a really REALLY good idea - Should I paint the OEM's or aftermarkets? I'll probably order these some time late next week - But I like this idea a lot. How do you open up the stock headlight units - is it true you have to put them in the oven to warm them up for a little bit - Or can you really just pop them open with a flathead?

    I say paint the OEM ones and them put them back on the Jeep. To open them you DO have to heat them up.

    For how long and at what temperature - if you know? I'll probably do a write-up on it.

    \I still have to do the write-up for the 4xG Matrix - But it will fully complete that on Tuesday though - I need to backtrack on something to clarify something. Then I'll submit it for you guys to review and make suggestions to make sure it's thorough.
