    Just some minor touches. But the Jeep never gets any love, it's always "Charger First" lol. So over the past couple of days I've been dressing up the interior of the Jeep with some Neffy Wrap, and finished up today with some paint. I painted the gauge bezel and nav bezel gloss black with satin clear coat. The paint isn't professionally done, but with some patience and even spraying it turned out great!! I've always wanted to darken up the interior of the crummy '07 Jeep interior, and this did it very nicely, I'm pretty happy with the results!! This along with my black floormats makes it a little bit "warmer" inside. If I can hold back from spending my whole bonus on the Charger next year, I'll finish the job with black suede seat inserts and black suede headliner. Thanks for looking!! [​IMG]

    In the next couple of months I'll be getting a new stereo head unit for my Charger. When I do that, I'll take the stock nav unit and put it in the Jeep.

    FUCK YOU AND THE DREW YOU RODE IN ON.
    Thanks Larry, preciate ya!! Yeah, if I wanna pay for it, the 08 interior would bolt in, lol. Total cost involved on this was $100, and the results are pretty good. Again, the problem lies in the fact that all my $$$$ goes to the Charger. :D

    If by "she" you mean my wife, then yes.

    Okay, here's the deal.....
    The front window switch plates just pop out. Be gentle, and work it along the edge, and it only takes a few seconds.

    The rear window plates have to pry out gently as well, but there are little "pegs" that are holding it down. Not to worry, they'll come out, just take it slow, going back and forth, and they come out. I just used a flathead screwdriver. When you get it out, I cut off the little "bend" on the end of the pegs (you'll see what I'm talking about when you get them out). Then I wrapped the Neffy. And to put them back in, I just added some dual action Loctite Plastic Super Glue to hold it down, no issues!! Shit is strong as hell!!

    On the cigarette lighters. I had to cut the little retaining pegs as well. They weren't coming out without doing so. I just used wire cutters to cut them. Then slowly forced them out. THEN. Once that bezel is wrapped in Neffy, those outlets are tuff as hell to go back in (due to the Neffy) and that shit is tight going back in (that's what she said). So I don't need to worry about them coming back out, lol. However, I used some more of the Loctite Plastic Super Glue around the edges on back, just to make sure. But trust me, once the piece is wrapped, those lighters are SOLID in there.

    Hope that helps dude. :D

    Looks damn good Chase. I have a roll of the Neffy at my house and your pics just convinced me to wrap the window switch plates and center console.
