Ya just have to find a paint that matches that tan with black speckle look to it. Might have to get creative

Ya I will be around. I can take a picture here in a few but the stock trim is a tan color with a black speckle in it which the guy at car quest says he can't match and recommended painting both a similar color so they matched.



here is a pic. The guy at carquest said for about $30 bucks he could mix some paint that would match the tan color but it wouldn't be a 100% match to what was stock, think I will just go with that, I doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference.

Have them get the paint code. I had a paint shop down here do that, believe it was sherwin williams. I think the color was called granite opal. It was a real close match, only difference was it didn't have the tiny opal paint specs in it. I was pleased with it.

Damn Andy, looks like your camera is way better than my eyes. lol

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The passenger grab handle doesn't have the speckles, and neither to your pillar speakers. And they don't stand out looking funny, to me they all look exactly the same.

Lol that is just my shitty cell phone camera.

I think I am just way to ocd about things sometimes, will stop by and have them mix up the stuff we found the other day, I think I would be the only one that knew.

Decided to play around a little bit and broke out the cell phone for some videos.

40mph roll in 2wd with factory traction control turned off. (It still kicked in half way after getting into it)


Got on it for a second then saw two troopers in the other lane so let out LOL
2wd again with factory traction control turned off




4x4 launch with factory traction control off


Everyday driving
