okay so i decided i wanted to put some skins on the xj and i have a couple q's for you experienced people.
i am not sure what kind of material i want to use, so what is the best, cheapest and easiest. and what thickness? i do not plan on beating the hell out of them, but if i crush one i don't want it to be a huge pita to get a new piece and mount it. they also should be paintable, because i want to paint them to match the remaining body (hood, fenders)
also, what is a good way to mount them? i would like them to be removable, it doesn't have to be easy to remove them, but doable. i wish i could just tack weld them on, but then it would be no fun to remove them. i was thinking about just bolting them on in a few places by drilling a hole in the tube and welding a small nut in there and then bolting through the material with a washer. it could also be an option to ziptie them on, i like using zipties
well let me know what is cool , easy and affordable :-\
thanks
