97+ Header Panel Modification

[rnobles]

Anybody modified a late model header panel to fit our body lines? As opposed to changing the fenders.

I was thinking of filling the corners of the header panel and just sanding down to match the top part of the fenders. Ideas....Pics.....?

Yeah. Bob Salemi, the guy in Rhode Island who runs the pro stock MJ, did exactly that on his daily driver XJ. It came out very nicely. I don't have pics, but he did just what you propose -- filled in the upper corners, mounted the header to the fenders, than filed and sanded down the corners to blend into the contours of the fenders.
