Default 2011 / 2012 Dash Overlays ??

I'm wondering how come no one has come up with a dash overlay kit for the '011 / '012 JK dash up until now ?

I'd really like to spice up the black dash with some brushed aluminum or carbon fiber.

Off Road Evolution has some nice billet stuff. Ac trim rings etc.

Drake Off Road also makes some trim items. Other than that, nothing else I know of...I agree with you

I went on both sites (Off Road Evolution & Drake Off Road) ... downloaded Drake Off Road's Jeep catalog ...
Nothing for the 2011 / 2012 dash .... Besides a shift knob by Drake Off Road .
Everything else is for 2007 / 2010

A guy on a chevy truck forum bought some carbon fiber wrap and did some interior parts that turned out good [in the pictures] forgot which web site he ordered from but you could go that route

There is always that 3M Di-Noc stuff that can be used to wrap things with. Anyone mess with that?

3M Di-Noc ..... Hmmmmmmmm

Not a bad idea (alternative) .... To be considered.

Now onto thinking which parts of the 2011 / 2012 dash to cover and figuring out how they come off.
I'm thinking about that entire center stack and steering wheel "branches" .

If you can pull off the piece you want wrapped, the 3M Di-Noc stuff is super easy to use and it ends up looking great. I used it on a previous vehicle and it turned out great...

I would prefer this solution too ... Although much more work ... but also much nicer.
