As we’re welcoming our new baby today (scheduled c-section), I installed the new baby’s car seat in the back last night :)

Ordering these soon. Does the red handle actually match the red interior for the Jeep?
I think the red handles match the red stitching and accents (hooks, emblems, little red Jeeps on the wheels, etc) that you will find on the Rubicon. It does not “match” the red dash if that’s what you are referring too. It doesn’t clash either.

That is what I was referring to since the dash is more of a "burnt" red and the accents are red. I just don't want there two be 3 different shades of red if I get the red handle. I think if it matches the accents then it should look sharp

What I did so far to my JL Sahara:

- Powder Coated Rims glossy black
- Painted Silver Accents Satin Black
- Painted Emblems Satin Black
- Painted Sideview Mirrors Body Color
- Tinted Yellow part of fender blinkers

So happy with the results!

Installed an AFE hi-tuck exhaust, install was pretty straight forward. My advice is unbolt the hanger brackets (2–13mm bolts) in the rear when removing the stock muffler, it’s easier than wrestling with the rubber hangers in a tight spot. The exhaust sounds pretty good also not too loud but you can at least hear it now.

Gave her, her first bath in front of the house and went back to my red grille and dipped the silver accents black.

Very nice. This is exactly what I’ll be doing. For the inserts, did you dip the back part of it? Probably no need eh? Was it easy to remove all the clips and inserts?

Also, fix your Sahara half dip emblem :)

Edit: I’ll be dipping the Silver trim on the front bumper too.

Any chance you folks know where a Canuck can get this 3M film everyone is plastering all over their Jeeps? I've been looking and looking for some without any luck! I really want to put some down on the door sills since the Sill Guards don't protect s@#$.

I have the Mopar handles but have considered returning them for these. My cart is showing $127 for all four in red. Are they really $60 better than the Mopar ones?

Are the bumper pieces easy to remove?

Any Sound clips? I would love to hear how it sounds. How do you like it so far?
