Well it didn't last a week with the vents on my hood painted red. I then painted the side vents flat black and left the top vent red but that only lasted a day. So now I painted the top vent gloss black. Should've never painted the vents red but you never know until you try it.

I like the airiness of the white too, I would need to sit in a painted one for a little bit before I could paint mine. The black looks nice but I'd hate feeling closed in.

Well what's the difference with any other car that has a black interior? Do you feel closed in when you're in a car with black interior? After I painted mine black you can't tell a difference. It looks a hell of a lot better with a black Jeep having a black interior.

I actually like the white on the inside of the hardtop, just my opinion.

I did my 2010 black, lasted about a month before I painted it white again. Felt like a dungeon, small and dark. I left my 2012 white.

So I painted the vents on my induction hood red. Not sure exactly what I think about it. My jeep was totally blacked out with only red D rings on the front bumper and I have red accents on the interior. I don't necessarily hate the red vents but I'm not in love with it either. Everyone's honest opinions would be greatly appreciated. The last two pics are the original black.

Do you leave the Maglite in when running no doors?? Or stick it somewhere as to not be stolen?

It's definitely personal preference. I have both. The hard top is white but my soft top is black (twill so really black). I prefer the black myself. If I want airiness in my Jeep I drop the soft top. I do agree it makes the interior feel smaller, almost cramped in the back, especially since I have a 2 door, but my dog doesn't seem to mind, and neither do I. But my wife is happy with the white in her JKU.
