Why did you install the 97+ conversion parts when they were going to take them off anyway? Just asking cuz I'm in the process of piecing mine together.

wanted to eliminate getting a call from the shop saying the fitment is not right and they have to modify, bla bla bla, want extra $$ for extra stuff needed to install and other bs to jack price up. plus, putting them on was fun and i didn't have to throw all of them in the jeep to transport.

also wanted to make the fogs work and all the wiring done prior to paint.
