Who knows what it'll look like. The Rims are still in the boxes that they were shipped in. I got them a couple weeks ago off E-Bay,free shipping no tax! I do the opposite of others, all the Chrome then black Rims w, machined centers. I think I will take the Tires off the Rims that are on the Patriot and put them on the Black Rims to see what it looks like, may be good may not be. This is Insanity at it's Finest!!

What kind of rims are on your Patriot right now? The ones that are on your current avatar? I'd probably go insane if had something for the Patriot laying around for two weeks waiting to be installed. You, my friend, are like many of us here who can't leave things alone with their Patriot. I thought I was done for now when I got my rims/tires. But then I saw lambert's hood decal and another project arose. I wonder what's next :D

The ones in my Avatar were traded off a year or so ago. I need to update my photos. I took off the Roof Rails, fourth tail light and added chrome Headlight Rings and some other stuff. I might take off the Diamond Plate, who knows ? That Light Bulb goes off in my Head and no telling what's next. It's called Retail Therapy.

Just got my two front windows tinted to match the factory tint. I guess its 20 all around now. Got it for 80 bucks taxes in, lifetime warranty. Getting the inside of the rear windows tinted wednesday to match the insides of my drivers and passengers, and a tail light specific tint done.

Looks Good! I had mine done as well.

I drove my Patriot 450 miles this past weekend. Averaged around 24.5 mpg the whole trip. I probably could've gotten better gas mileage, but I have a lead foot. The Patriot sure can haul past anyone slow poking around :D I also didn't notice too much wind noise with my new roof cross bars.

Hey guys, I am having a hard time deciding if my pat would look good with black stock rims. If anyone enjoys chopping with photo shop and would like to add black to my rims in this pic i posted it would be hugely appreciated. I have a hard time envisioning it without a physical picture to look at.

Finished my Curt Hitch install today!

The hardest part was dropping the exhaust. Those little hangers are a pain to get off... Other than that, a few bruised knuckles and scratches on the arms were the worst of my worries.

At the end of it all, I gave her a wash. Look's pretty again!

Yesterday, I removed my Latitude badge. IMO it never should have been on there, but Jeep thought it would keep the focus on the Compass for 2011. Now it looks the way want and think it should!

I got mine off ebay for $25, and it comes with a sticky film on the front to hold the letters in place until it's on. I went to the Jeep dealer and measured the location of the limited badge on a 2012 Patriot, and I think I got it spot on. I used masking tape to mark the measurements 1 inch below where I wanted it, then lined up another piece of tape on those lines for a straight edge
