Speaking of a mod, I was thinking about changing out my vents in my '10 with a '11 or '12 vents cause they look different. Has anyone tried this or do they know if it will work? I haven't came across anyone who has a '11 or '12 to try it out to see if the fit is the same. It looks like they will fit, I'm just not sure. Thanks!

The '10 has a plain silver ring around the vents. Here is a pic from the Jeep website. This is what's on a '11 & '12.

For some reason the pics won't come up. Here is a link and there are a few pics there.

Sounds great, email/text me with their response. I haven't had time to check on anything on my end as it's been a crazy few weeks over here. Let me know! Been working on some other stuff and scheming some other ideas in my head, just need some time to get them modeled up!
