There is a severe lack of photographic evidence in this thread (from those that have their Jeeps) who say they like or don't like their combo of ext color and red or gray dash. ?
I'll start it off.
I have a love/hate with my black leather with red stitching dash that came on my Launch Edition. It looks premium and it's fairly rare, but I do however love the red accents on my black Jeep and a red dash would have looked striking. Those pops of color against black really look great imho. There is too much black on mine and needs some color to break it up. I also worry about this black dash bc I had a very large leather dash on my 2013 Grand Cherokee that came unglued and bubbled up after a few years. It was an eye sore that annoyed me every time I looked at it. After a few years, Jeep finally acknowledged it was a defect and agreed to replace it free of charge but they said it would take almost a year since they were made by hand. Needless to say, I got tired of waiting and bought my JTRLE and traded that in. Two months later the dealer called to say my new leather dash was in! I told them, check your records, that dash is your problem now!
I'm hoping this won't have the same issue bc the GC had a very large horizontal surface area that baked in the sun and this hardly has any.

Red would look dumb along with some colors anyway. And this got 3 pages of comments? Good lord folks got too much time on their hands.
Ironic.

My 2022 Gobi JTR delivered with gray :angry:. I know. 1st world problems. In my defense.I would've gone with the tan interior had I known that they'd build it "wrong." Every config tool and all the online info advertise a red dash when you order a black interior. $50k and we are disappointed.

Bro. Same. My gobi was delivered with a gray dash. Open jeep chat and make a complaint. They’ll put a red one in for free. My dash was ordered Friday. ??

Yours and Pescatoral Pursuit's wives love of the red dash stories had me in stitches. Our wives must be cousins. After 18 mos of me driving my wife nuts over ordering the perfect gladiator she had but 1 request - the red dash. The first resolution from Jeep chat was - "We want you to be happy. We'll buy your Jeep back from you and you could order the right one this time." We opened another ticket with Jeep Wave. Ralph there has been great so far and is my advocate for a better resolution. Your results has us hopeful. I would swap it myself, but the airbag is one part that I won't touch - one wrong move and BOOM or no boom when there's supposed to be one.

Apologies on using this old thread. I am one who has a Sport S with grey dash and would love to replace it with the red rubicon version. If I was able to find the part used, does anyone know how involved it is to change this dash panel out? Thx, Mark

I don't like red, because of a college team sports thing, but after a few weeks I didn't even notice the red dash (and other trim) anymore. Probably because I know red trim is synonymous with Rubicon models... and I really wanted/needed the Rubicon features for my off-roading activities.
