Default JK Interior Accents

Hmmm, My almost all plastic black dash in my 2007 4dr JK could use a little accents. It just looks like a sea of cheap plastic.

I was thinking of maybe the rugged ridge brushed air vent bezels with a brushed front grab handle over the glove compartment.

I also like the chrome bezels but I think the front grab handle in chrome looks cheesy.

I guess this is from seeing the 2012's with those nice accents. They seem to be the perfect metal but I havem't found a 3rd party manufacturer or mopar parts that resemble those. Any ideas?

I want to get the Daystar dash panel in black ( I like the black look) But I did wrap my steering wheel in grey 550 para-cord and am thinking about doing the same thing to the passenger grab handle

You could always paint the air vent rings for some contrast, inexpensive too!

I am thinking about going with the drake brand because they have a good looking front grab bar. Not bad.

Do the air vent covers just pop right off?

At about 1 oclock position, you put a small screwdriver in there and twist bezel counter clockwise. Too about 2 min for all four
