I've been posting away about this because I can also see elements with plastic panels looking real good with these types of tires. I keep staring at the fj cruisers with aftermarket/off road tires and looks awesome.Agreed- I like the look of ATs on E's with plastic panels. Just looks more rugged!
Come down to indiana for a day and lets swap :]This one isn't mine but gives you an idea of the look. I have AT's on mine and would love to have the plastic panels but mine is all painted.
