Do you have details on that center stack mod? Mine came from the factory all chewed up and it bugs me. Mabye if it was sanded and painted Sunburst Orange, it wouldn't bug me so much!

 

X100 Awsome mod I really love the color of the dash green.

Is there any writeup of how to remove the cover and paint the inside of the dash cluster somewhere?

 

Here you are:

To remove them you have to:
1 Remove the top cover by lifting from the forward edge
2 Remove the bottom cover plate by gently prying off
3 Remove all the screws you can see.
4 Remove the vents by rotating and pulling out.
5 Carefully pull out on the surrounding trim to release the tabs.
6 Unlock and unplug the power window connecter for a little more access.
7 Remove the four screws holding the center consol and rotate it up and aft to gain access to the very bottom 2 remaining screws holding the trim panels on. These are a pain, best way I found to get them was with a simple open end wrench. Needless to say they were NOT reinstalled!

Paint and reverse to reinstall. I like the look

 

Here you go:

Wasn't too bad

1 Start with the very bottom panel under your steering wheel, remove it by just pulling it off.

2 Next panel up same thing!

3 The surrounding cluster panel is next, can't remember if there were screws but you will see when you get that far.

4 This will expose the four screws holding the cluster, remove them and unplug 3 x connectors.

5 release the clear cluster cover, easy to see it when its out in your hands.

6 Next is the trim piece your going to paint, removal is the same as the clear cover. Careful of the gauge needles.

Paint and reverse the process. This mod is probly only a 2 on the scale to ten in difficulty. Have fun.

 

Thanks for the directions. So I need to make a trim to put on the cluster before painting. Any special kind of paint with primer etc or just spray paint

Urs look like it came from the factory....

 

Performed front marker light mod, and had the windows tinted. Very niiice! 5% eyebrow, 20% in all four doors. Hard to see out at night, can't see in!

 

Man that looks Awesome! That came out great

 

post some pics of your tint if ya can

 

I pulled the JK into the garage, turned on the heat and LET 12" OF SNOW MELT! Ah, that feels good.

 

So I need to make a trim to put on the cluster before painting. ??? Not sure what you mean. There is no cutting or "trimming" required, its an overlay that just clips on to the cluster.

The paint was a small can of touch up paint I got from the dealer. No priming / sanding required. Just shot it with some colour
