Hmm, I'm not crazy about that. What I did is sand that piece until it was smooth, then just painted it black again. (I did this with the around the shifter piece, instrument panel piece, and that piece) Looks pretty good. But I don't really like them any other color than black.

no you shouldn't continue. that looks hideous. of course, there's not a lot you can do with the tan interior, but that isn't it.

Maybe if you do everything else in white as well, including radio and vents, then it might look better.

IMO, that might make it look worse. Because you still have climate control, cup holders, Vents, Clock, etc.

I would take it back to black and just smooth it down, otherwise it just looks ricey and everything is still textured so you can tell you just rattle canned it in your spare time. But that's just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Well I mean, imagine the look of rattle canning the a/c controls , the clock?

Just can't see painting these types of things you'd need to be REALLY meticulous on with spray paint... and it EVER looking good...

No offense, but PUT DOWN THE SCC MAG and pick up a Nissan Sport Mag. We pride ourselves on taste, something the Honduh kiddies haven't figured out yet.


and put down the crappy cell phone pics. that pic is 100% tan on my monitor...
