I would be very cautious about putting a large chunk of plastic in front of an airbag. Look up Takata Airbag recall. They had small peace's of metal in the airbag that would dislodge and kill people. Paint and stickers may not pose a threat, but a large plastic face over an airbag seems like...
I painted and did a full custom decal on my dash and made a video. Maybe this would help. I also agree that a thin decal and a layer of paint wont pose any difficulty to the air bag considering the Sahara needs to bust through LEATHER.
My wife and I want to take the Jeep cross country, but im a bit concerned about comfort. I have a Sport S with the fabric seats and those seats are only good for a few hours before I start to get uncomfortable. Also the back seats are just horrible for long distance. Anyone have any solutions...
Thanks for the update. I just did a video on scratch removal using compound and polish and in it I used the new Turtlewax Hybrid Polish with ceramic coating. Right now the Jeep does not need polishing over-all, but i really want to try this stuff on the wifes car. From the little I used to...
The biggest problem you will run into is that the JL does NOT have standard size speakers or mounting patterns. Almost any "standard" car speaker will need modifications or adapters. Its very frustrating.
I know this is a rather common mod, but if anyone is interested in how its done and the possible pitfalls, this video may help you out a lot. It may also give you some idea's on how to take it too the next step using cut vinyl and decals!
Would love to hear feedback!
I did an install video on just how easy it is to install LED's into the JL's with the stock halogen headlights. These Hikari's have a great beam pattern and a great price point. Check out the video here.
Left side is the original Halogen, and right is the Hikari Ultra's. Nice cut-off...
Yes it is. The paint used on the fiberglass is the same as the body. The ceramic coating only effects the top layer of clear coat and it will work just fine.
I used it on my plastic fender just fine, and my rubber hood stops. It didnt last long on the rubber, but I would say its safe for vinyl. I will be able to check soon as im going to apply some vinyl to my Jeep and I will test with the spray.
Great writeup! I think I need to buy a buffing machine to really take things to the next level on my coat. I have a bit of swirls in my paint and the only way to really take them down is to use a buffer.
Very good. Its like Teflon for your paint. With a proper coating, the bugs should just wash right off if they stick at all. If you watch the end of my video, a bird dropped a turd on my hood, and it beaded up like water and rain washed it away.
One thing I forgot to say in the video is if you drop your clay bar, toss it out. Dont risk dragging an embedded rock across your paint. Not worth it. Also check your clay often, so you dont make extra swirl marks. Would love to see the results of the Wolfgang Ceramic spray!
