try these; Lange Paint Saver(plastic membrane to protect edges of tub), entry guards, Clover Patch Inc. widow roll, Husky Liners floor mats, and drill your mirrors( there is a thread or 100 on that), oh and seat covers( i got the Smittybilt neoprene-bought fronts and got rears free). Hope that helps.

Here's my list of recommendations:
Husky liners (A+),
Grab handles (I have Mastercraft's, and give them an A+),
Cold Air Intake (I have AIRAID, and only give it an A because it cost >$200),
Drill the side mirrors (free, A+),
Paint the interior details [search on "Interior Paint"] (<$10, B+),
Door entry guards (I have black Mopar & like 'em pretty well: B),
First Aid kit for in-floor storage compartment (a must-have: B),
Vehicle Fire Extinguisher (mounts easily on back of rear rollbar - mine's held to the rollbar with HD-bungees: B-).
Hope that helps! Good luck getting your Jeep soon, and enjoy!

Mopar Soft Top Boot for JK look like this:
You can find more pics of the boot cover at my gallery.
I really like the boot. It protects the soft top from UV, dust, mud etc., and it keeps the top clean. It definitely a "must have" item for me.

The Airaid gave me another mile per gallon, as did the Magnaflow Muffler I did (just the muffler to replace the trash can out back). That was about $180. The Cat back is very nice I am sure, but at about $450?
I picked up a small air compressor at Harbor Freight for $50 that I use a lot- it works really well.
(If you have a two door) the Clover Patch Convert-a-top gives you an instant safari top for $30.

No, it doesn't protect the paint on the side. Yes, the boot cover keeps the back area neat, and it actually create more space underneath of the soft top.

Performance: (Judged by seat-of-the-pants alone, no actual data) small boost in general driving, large boost in performance from a dead stop/rolling start.
The biggest change, and least measurable gain, is the great engine snarl you gain with a CAI - changes the sound under heavy throttle substantially, and for the better!
