- Fender flare extensions.

- Half doors;
- Fender flare extensions. if you live in a state with vehicle inspection absolutely necessary if you want additional track width

Maybe more accessories/gear than a mod, and I'm not saying any of them are dumb on their own, but I don't understand people that daily their vehicle in a city/town and keep them kitted out like they're going on a 3 week excursion (roof top tent, rotopax, hi-lift Jack, traction boards, axes, shovels, propane, etc.). I get it if you go often or for large items if you're limited in storage space, but I'm guessing for a lot of people it's more decoration than anything else.

Pretty much 90% of anything Rotopax hanging off a vehicle.

Then there is stupid shit like this:

That actually serves a purpose - almost ensures if you are rear-ended, both vehicles are a total loss.

Anything chrome. I hate chrome. Blinding bullshit.
It's a sport, so with all of the trim blacked out - why were the door handles and locks chrome or stainless and polished? Even the wiper arms were BLACK.

Solved with Jeep half-door handles and VHT paint on the door locks - (it's jeep related because it has a 4.0 and is factory 4 wheel drive using a number of Jeep parts)

I've got the same thing. Locks are the only chrome on the Nighthawk.
Except the seat belt buckles. Just got blinded by that reflecting off my radio today.

Step bars that hang down like these do. I honestly cringe every time I see any Jeep with these or similar steps.

Definantly not unless you got a 8" lift and then ya loose 3-4 of it with that mess on there . What ever happened to going over opening the door and jumping in 😂
