That was the way I was going to go at first too and then I spoke to my dealer about getting some parts painted and he mentioned the powder coating. I guess I have a second set. Honestly I can probably sell them on Ebay and get what I paid for the black ones.
I know paint is a lot cheaper but for about $550, you can get powder coated Ford Performance parts. I got these and they are perfect. The powder coat should be much more durable.

Has anyone tried to split the speakers in the back and add a 6 ½" (or 8") speakers to the existing 4" speaker (similar to what is already done in the front?) Seems with the kicker amp there would be the power to do so and mounting a couple speaker to the rear cargo area panels may be easy to do.
Just got my window sticker and noticed the price increased $1200 from my order placed in January. Was expecting this but who eats the cost, me, dealer, Ford?
Lots of questions... What did you replace the stock speakers with, what made you decide with this combo of bass blockers, did you install an amp, are you happy with the sound? thanks
Why would someone and not have the chips put in at a later date? Seems like something that can be done when you bring it in for an oil change so its not inconvenient. You are going to need it for resale or there will have to be a disclaimer that not all features are available.
I have no issue with this assuming the chips are for nicities and not necessities. I wouldn't mind them extending our warrantees for the duration of time it takes them to complete our Broncos!
I seriously looked at the Defender but while it is far more refined than a Bronco, an equally equipped Defender is $30K more and has half the fin factor. Limited mods, and I'd be afraid to take it off road.
I spoke to Crutchfield as well. They recommended the 300 Hz resisters for the 4” speakers. We discussed the Rockford and the JVC‘s. Both are good, the JVC can handle a slight bit more power. In my mind they sound a little better.
