well, if you want an aftermarket deck that matches, i have a pioneer that looks like it would match perfectly with the blue lights. it also has a usb port(x2) on the back that you can hook up an ipod to an hide it in your glove box and allows you to control the ipod from the deck itself. very nice head unit and not too expensive. i don't know what i would do without those ipod controls from the deck! so sweet!

great looking lights!.
also you can get Theatre Stage Light Gels in MANY colors for really cheap as well.. these are similar to the folders the OP is using but you have about any color you like... most DJ and lighting shops carry them for a couple bucks a piece.. and they are 24x24 typically...
to the post about the radio.. I control my Ipod from my stock 6 CD / DVD deck.. Ipod sits in the glove box and I use the Jeep deck to cycle through songs, play playlists, etc...

I will attempt to get a step by step done this weekend, i may even scan in my cutouts so y'all have a template to work from.
some other things im gonna work on that y'all might be interested in;
-LightARC gauges - wherever the needle is, the background will be illuminated, similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d7PXXtMn3w
-Changing all the colors of the other various lights in the JK, radio/HVAC controls

I like the stock guages...the red on my wifes old grand am gave me a headache...
A soft blue might not be too bad tho. I used to have reverse glo guages on my Yamaha R600 and those were bad ass

x2. Red is a hard color on our eyes, I would pick any color but red for gauges. It does look cool though.
