Default New Poster - lots of Newbie Help

As a happy owner of a 2008 Stone White Ruby 2 door, I am lost with a couple of questions and mods and I wish to address the forum with their wealth of knowledge for a shortcut to my goals. In advance, "Thank You" for taking me in!

Stone White was more a color of utility (Rubi will go to Panama in a few years) than choice, but I do like his color now, it has a 'pearly' effect and is not the standard rental car white.
How well do you think it will go with some Chrome additions? Thinking of adding tubular side steps (chrome) and modify the gas filler cap and environment, possibly the front grille also.
Who is the vendor for the above you have good experience with , service/pricing/ etc? Any aesthetic suggestions with the chrome over Stone White?

In need of a decent Spare Tire cover, not the standard stuff with "Jeep" or smileys or Mopar on it. Maybe a custom made one. Can't find a vendor.

Rear seat is removed. Looking at a Husky Liner or should I go with a 'cut to size' one from Pep Boys since I need a bit more coverage without the seat row?

Thanks for all you help and suggestions

I like black accessories with Stone White. Check out Quadratec. Good luck.

If you like chrome then you'll look fine. I'm not a big chrome fan but it's your JK, they wouldn't sell chrome if a bunch of people didn't buy it. I only know a few vendors besides MOPAR. 4WD, Quadratec and Northridge and I haven't seen a lot of chrome, aside for appliques. I'm sure we'll see more as time goes on. Quadratec seems to have a good selection of it.

I like Husky since cut to fit won't look as nice, unless your good at it. You could always just remove the carpet and slap on rhino liner or something of that sort.

Tire Cover? I only know of the above, for custom you may have to look local. (Im not much help)

I like chrome. It will look good on your JK. My best dealings have been with Northridge 4x4, and Quadratec.

Chrome is great on a jk I have the mopar chrome grill and it looks good.
cheapest price is a justforjeeps.com
with side steps make sure that they are stainless steel or they will rust after 2-3 years

Welcome to the jeep club. Don't let anyone give you crap about your taste. It's your jeep. Do what you want with it. Just like everything else you buy, quality and price can have vast ranges. Do some research before you buy and you'll be happy in the long run.

Welcome to the forum! There's a lot of good information on here. HBC
