    I think matching with the color would be great. That is if you have a Punk'n, Mojito, Bikini, or Hella Yella. But, if you have a darker color Jeep, I would say to go with whatever accent color you are going to use as a theme.

    I ordered 2 cans of Firecracker Red from the dealer today, they're 5oz cans. Do ya think that'll be enough to paint what you did? Also, was it necessary to remove the steering wheel to paint that trim? What tools were needed for that? - Thank you

    @@jpmcnown1 Yes that should be enough, if you just want to paint the dash you will not need to remove the steering wheel. But if you want to paint the wheel you will need a 10mm socket to pull off two bolts, one on each side under a plastic cover, then a larger socket i'm forgetting the size the pull the column bolt. The wheel will come apart with various smaller torx bits and small sockets then.

    All right, so I did this the other day. A few notes: · The directions are great! I could follow along every step of the way. · They're right: All this stuff cost me a little less than $50. · I'll point out that you'll want an extension on your socket wrench to get to those two bolts. I had one, and I guess most people do, but just be forewarned. · And most importantly: If you are using the small Mopar paint-matched can, buy two or even three. I was able to get about a coat and a half of ocean blue down before my can ran out. So I ended up with a so-so paint job of what I'd call "Spider-Man blue". Oh well. At least the vents and chrome trim are a bright red now. I'm digging that. Overall, though, I'm fairly pleased and this video got me through the process fairly painlessly. Thanks guys!

    If you can afford a newer JEEP, I think you can afford new plastic panels. If you wanna paint it, go ahead, just buy some used ones. Keep the original just in case you wanna sell the JEEP. My preference would be to wrap them. Easy to take off and easier to change colors.

    The only issue with wrapping are the tight edges and the overall shape of the piece, we decided to paint our factory panels due to the fact that new ones are nearly 300 dollars. If in the event we ever sell the vehicle and the buyer wants gray panels we would just buy them then.

    You should not be removing the passenger bezel, as the passenger airbag is attached and you risk the airbag hooks becoming detached from the bezel chute windows. You also risk not reinstalling it correctly. It goes without saying that you should also not be removing the airbag. And finally, you should not be painting, or applying anything to the passenger bezel, as the airbag deploys through the bezel and any modification to the bezel can affect the airbag performance.

    If you break any clips or lose them they are very cheap to buy extras .

    Honestly we only had a few fall off, none of them actually broke which was impressive!

    Hey Matt I was wondering if you could do a video of on the "JEEP WRANGLER (JL) AXEL LOCKER MOPAR PERFORMANCE " Part Number (77072413) wiring installment. I have yet to found a video of this item online on instruction to install, I believe it would be a great video to make for those who didn't get the a Jeep rubicon or Sahara with the front and rear axel locker package. I hope you get to read this and considerate thank you in advance.

    We actually have a few axle installs in the works, we plan on re-gearing our 2-door and potentially installing new axles in the Hemi, make sure you stay tuned!

    I bet that ziptie holds that piece on incase the airbags deploy that piece doesn't slap someone in the face.

    Nice little project, but personally these would look way better if colored with leather. The paint just looks a bit childish and cheap.

    Why would you do this? Why not buy a small piece of vehicle wrap and wrap it?
