I hated the way jeep made the inside of the hardtop white. All of my interior was black except for the roof. So I plasti dipped it to see if I liked it. It looks awesome (sorry about crappy pics) and call me crazy but I think it helps with staying cooler in the heat.

How do you do that to the inside of the hard top? I'm new to all the mods and have a black 2012 rubi that is blacked out. What do you use and how do you apply?

Yep. I took off my top, turned it upside down and set it down in my shop (open all your windows/doors if you're doin it inside like I did), then I put on 5 coats which takes about 6 cans of plasti dip. I let mine dry for 24 hours and it still smells. I suggest letting it dry for 2 days before putting it back on.
Helpful hint: don't tape your windows because the plasti dip scrapes off with a razor blade but the tape goo doesn't.

So me being an Enlisted member of the US Military who happens to not believe in your god means I have to say "under god?" That is against the rights we swore to protect. Just saying.
