Anything really. Today I went to the JY and got some interior parts just because I wanted too. I bought a soundbar with aftermarket speakers for 10$. Well I bought what I thought was a good woodgrain piece that goes around your gauges and radio and stuff. Well the back plastic piece was busted so I pulled mine out and glues the overlay to my good panel and I dont like it much. I want to go back to the regular black but now it is 5 minute epoxied on. It didnt go on well so maybe I can recover it. Well also I probably wont use the soundbar either because I dont have wiring for it and it kinda looks too flashy for my jeep. However, I did find new window cranks that I really needed as my last one snapped off at the ****.

I am amazed at how well my dads interior has held up. It was used as the family car for about 8 years and my father drove it 1.5 hours one way to work again for another 4-5 years. He never really took great care of the interior and after a new headliner a good cleaning and some carpet the interior looks like new. I am so jealous. My 94 looks like trash on the inside and hasnt been used nearly as much. I guess you get what you pay for.

I can do ya one better tho. In an effort to not get ticketed, I tried to re-attach my flares to my rig. but the fenders were already cut (incorrectly I might add, cut the unibody in the rear, and the fronts are uneven and ugh) so I siliconed them on...yes...silicone. Needless to say I'm now posting frantically trying to get my hands on new front fenders. The rear looks fine however...

letting my brother swap the radio.
he hardwired a giant crappy sterio speakerbox to it. now the front speakers don't work and the radio doesn't fit properly. oh and i also regret letting him put a cb on it. (the idiot was playing with a whip anntenia and spider webbed my windshield).
i dont regret blowing a powers steering line while mudding. that was worth it

I regret buying my zj instead of holding out for an xj
Then I regret trimming my rear bumper because now that I decided I don't want it, its going to be harder to sell
As far as your sound bar, don't feel bad, you could easily make a profit by selling it.
As far as the wood grain, can you paint it? Maybe something textured like wrinkle paint

I now un regret the wood grain. Still not really liking the sound bar but I think if I paint it grey instead it will look better. Really I was just irritated by the wood grain at first but I think it was because the florescent lighting in the garage sucks and it was at night. It made the woodgrain look cheasy. In the daytime it looks alot better. The one thing I seriously regret is not buying those other used goodyear wranglers to match all the way around. The old Daytons are 235s as well but they look small and dinky in comparison/
