DO NOT PUT A WRAP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANELS-PAINT ONLY. The passenger side contains the airbag, and a wrap would seriously affect how it breaks open at deployment....like maybe not at all.
I bet some people have cause I saw some on Facebook showing it last year. BIG MISTAKE !

I"ve checked with several mopar parts dealers AND the parts department at the dealership...as well as 3 different pain manufacturing companies..no one has even heard of it..and the code that jeep chat gave someone of JEL comes back to the icelandic blue of land rover :(

The color makes the interior look much more well done. Black and gray everything gets real boring. Not the cheapest if you use a paint shop, but a great finish

how do you pop the dash on the passenger side without setting off the air bag ?

When I had my dash painted I couldn’t find Firecracker red. I took it to a touch up paint shop and the color code cross referenced to Speed Red. Had mine painted and a satin clear finish on it.

that's the way it should look not gloss but satin, some people are going with a high gloss. it doesn't look right real glossy. the factory look is like yours. a satin finish looks a lot better in my opinion

Go to Amazon, eBay or AliExpress and search for JL Wrangler Trim. There are a bunch of cheap stick-on overlays that are way easier than painting stuff.
where i haven't seen any
