Anyone tried to remove colored AC vent slider yet?

[Rick Astley]

I did a B&P on a new Wrangler just to compare things and see if I could really commit to a Wrangler, always liked them growing up. Once I saw the render of green exterior with the red dash clashing, I couldn't help but think of Christmas and how much I would hate seeing it every time I got in the vehicle.

IDK what you mean? Green and red always looks good together.

sure, but I don't want the exterior of my car to reflect a warm glow of orangy happiness, while the inside hints at an antisocial vibe of blue. I may be a walking irony, but I don't need to advertise that to the world.

Strange. I selected the anti-social blue, to accentuate the exterior mourning black.

YES. That TERRRRRIBLE red dash in the Jeeps.. Jesus. It single handedly stopped me from buying a Rubicon.

Me too.

B..b..but it's all modular, you see. You can pull things off by hand, with a pair of pliers or vise-grips, a common, readily available torx bit, or fire in a pinch.
The grab handles and chicklets are mostly removable without much issue, who knows what they cost, but it's the door pocket and seat trim, shitty seat colors and dash colors like navy pier, bronze, "I hate my life" tan/Grey, etc. And no damn cloth on a Badlands...

No cloth on Bandlands! My only gripe. Would of ordered a Bandlands if there was cloth. Went SAS OBX, to get the high package.

They had to make the interior tie to the trim level because they knew so many of you would be taking the stickers off the fenders.

I was going with Race red on my OBX, but when the wife said she liked Area 51 better I changed with no problem. It will match the blue trim pieces and the strage blue stitching on the seats. I will never understand blue stitching on brown seats.

BTW, I did consider the Navy Pier seats, but I wanted more contrast between the outside, and inside. At least the blue stitching in the brown seat covers will match the exterior.

It will not be long before 3rd party grab handles and such are out. That shouldn't drive your decision on trim IMO.

As anyone can tell from my avatar, those 'orange' accents on the Badlands, COMPLETELY turned me off that model. I had to have the Ford Factory Rep assure me that the Wildtrak would have blue accents - which are acceptable to me, but Grey would be better - sealing the deal to pick that model. I'm sure there's a TON of folks in Austin, Knoxville or even Clemson & Gainesville that really like that offensive color, but for me it's a BIG TIME deal breaker! Nope, no way, no how!

Same. I went to buy a new Rubi last year and saw that dash, complained to my wife, and she said I should look at the Broncos. I did and a year later here we are

100% agree on the lack of cloth on a Badlands.. I reserved MGV, Rapid Red… as a Chiefs season ticket holder, the yellow accents worked. Now that I’m bumped to a 22, Rapid Red is out, so I’m looking at Silver OBX to get the cloth I want, and will add wheels/tires to get the look I want. The interior color makes it tough. I like the Green, but the cloth options or MGV don’t match at all. I’m hoping FY22 opens up some options.

Yeah, the color accents by trim certainly aren't my favorite part of the interior. With Iconic Silver I'm good w/ the orange accents but with blue or red...c'mon man

Orange and blue is a great combo!

 

[PrevCYBRTRKrez]

Bump.

The interior accents have been my biggest complaint! It actually keeps me from going to the higher trims because I hate the clash of rapid red with blue accents inside or cyber orange, etc. A lot of people don't seem to mind it but it drives my ocd of matching/complimentary colors.

Hey, i am looking for the blue accents (i have a OBX VB that will be here in 2 weeks) in terested in trading still for light grey?

Has anyone tried removing and swapping the colored AC vent sliders yet? Curious to see how easy it is to do, and whether we should let accent color dictate exterior color. (anyone else hate how Ford decided to tie interior color accents to trim?) I know the seats also have colored accents, but I can probably live with that.

Thanks

Here is another thread about swapping out the entire vent
