I plasti dipped my antenna along with my badges, keyholes and wheels. No reception issues at all bit I listen mostly to Sirius.
I spray tinted my turn signals and marker lights too and the light shines through just fine at night.

I did the bedliner grill and put some expanded metal behind the grill, the expanded metal i used was the flat stuff and i didnt care for that so i used a tiny pair of channel locks to bend out the sections slightly to give it a more 3D effect (hard to see in pics), i also made an insert for for the seatbelt latch so i dont have to hear the buzzer and its removeable. I also bought the cell phone hanger from Qtec and love it! I also didnt care for how the grill tied into the rest of the jeep so i added a hood bra and now i love it!
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and buckle your seat belt while sitting in the drivers seat.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACCESSORY/RUN position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the seat belt warning light to turn off.
3. Un-buckle and then re-buckle your seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled.
4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming.
Next time you start the jeep, you’ll hear the initial fasten seat belt chimes, but the continuous chiming reminder will be turned off. the light in the dash will remain on, though.

Why not just turn chime off? Cool though to eliminate the light being always on!?!

My friend did this one.
If you are having trouble with your engine getting hot you can raise the back of the hood where its hinged to the tub half an inch. It looks fine unless your inspecting the vehicle but that space allows all of the hot air to escape the compartment.
Happy side-effects:
Hood flutter goes away!
Ice melts off your windshield faster.
Sad side-effects:
Looks a little broken.
