"Introducing 3D and AR Views at CJ’s"

Last Updated April 18, 2024 | Bill Tumas

Have you ever wanted to see how a new set of wheels would look on your car before you bought them? Well, now you can. With CJ’s new 3D view, you can see parts from every angle in incredible detail. And with AR, you can see exactly what your new parts will look like on your actual car. It’s as close as you can get to the showroom floor without ever leaving your home.

Here’s how it works:

How to Use 3D/AR View on Your Phone

To take advantage of the augmented reality feature, you’ll have to use your phone. Here’s how to launch the 3D and AR views on your mobile device:

  1. Find a product
