2000 Jeep Wrangler non-stock =)
Looks great, although i'm not a huge fan of the mesh, might be too much for me. My g/f likes it though, if that matters...of course, she likes MBZ.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
Don't like the mesh personally, but in general this is some seriously good looking car.
Love the Loewenhart's, although I'd prefer them in silver, not chrome, but again, personal and european-ish attitude.
Got a buddy here who also sells Loewenhart in his wheel shops, so I'd imagine they have cost you a pretty packet.
Exhaust conversion looks very nice, too.
Very, very well done.

Just starting my wishlist and I will say The M-tech is a must. The dual exhaust is awsome. I like that. The rims Im waiting on....Not sure I've seen any other than the OEM that I like. Now where did you have most of this done since I am within a few miles of you. I want to get most of the Mods done from my dealer but then again there are high end Mod shops all over the Scottsdale airpark. I just want to get it done right. Looks like you did an excellent job. Guess the screen mesh was not a big hit here. I like the comment to maybe get it painted black. Keeping it silver gives it the look common with GMC's and Cadilacs.
Nice job though I'll look for you in my rear view mirror.

I have had the work done at a few different shops. The M-TECH kit was bought from ATS77 and painted and installed at Chapman BMW Collission. My springs were ordered from Tire rack wholelsale. I had the spings installed, the Hamann diffuser, and the exhaust done at AZ Power and Sound. The wheels i bought from Wheel Specialists(which i have a wholesale license from and can get you a good deal). Grill was from Racemesh, and can be purchased in powdercoated black. If you need help with anything just send me a PM.
