I've gotten off course from my original build list. I've since upgraded my stereo, added seat covers, and painted my roll bar/soundbar covers . For the roll bar and soundbar covers I just washed them and sprayed them with matte black Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric spray paint. This was really easy and cheap. For my stereo upgrade I put Alpine Type R 6.5s in the soundbar and Type R 5.25 components using Nalin Mfg. brackets in the dash. I mounted an Alpine PDX 4.100 under the steering column using a skinny pedal amp mount. I originally tried using Select Increment dash pods for the front speakers, but after installing them I noticed the top and bottom of my speakers towards the inside of the dash were touching the metal dash supports and I was afraid it would affect the sound and possibly damage them so I removed them. These speakers sound great and are plenty loud with the top off at high speeds. For the seat covers I chose black Iggee's. I found a lot of great reviews on them, but I couldn't find many pictures of others who had them with the mist grey interior. I originally wanted to get the black/charcoal colored covers but after getting a sample from Iggee and the lack of pictures I could find with my color interior I was to uncertain as to whether the black/charcoal would look good. The sample they provided was 2inx2in square that just wasn't big enough for me to make my decision. I still think the black/charcoal may look amazing, but I also think it's possible it would clash with the gray interior. Since the covers are custom and can't be returned I stuck with black since it was my safest bet. I've only had them for a about a week and haven't driven my jeep really since I put them on but they do look great and were not hard at all to install. I installed them without removing my seats, but if my top hadn't been off right now it would have been a little more difficult, but definitely still doable.
