Default My new interior

Well some quick background info, I own a pewter Z28 with ebony seats. Decided to make my dash look better by painting it, but tring not to over do it. So I decided to paint the dash the same color as the car.

I posted awile back about me doing this, just never had time to post pictures. I just took some tonight for you guys to see, so tell me what you think! I did this about one month ago and have gotten alot of compliments from friends ect... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It doesn't totally look like it in the pictures, but it is a exact match to the exterior of the car (lt pewter). And sorry, my inside is a bit dirty (need to clean it later this week).

I think it looks good. I almost think it would be better if the passenger heater vent wasn't painted. These things pop on and off so easy, I might try and buy a set from the junkyard and try it myself. It does make the steering wheel stand out in the pictures..boy does gm make some ugly wheels. My 98 is only slightly better IMO.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!

excellent job! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ... I was always looking into doing that just never saw pictures of it done as good before... the combo looks perfect!

if I were you id get an SLP emblem and put it under the passenger airbag.. i think thats a must with your interior... it would make it look even better!

if you ever have some free time email me on aka9399@hotmail.com and tell me how you did it <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> PLEASE ...

if only someone had the same combo done on a trans am...

That looks good man! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> This is when mine was done. I got sick of it, though, so now it is back to stock! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

get some silver guages for that thing and you're set.

could you tell me just how you did that?

heres my idea: painting the pieces like that, getting dual-tone leather (gray nad black) and silver face guages... i have a black z28 with chrome as an accent color... what do you think? too much or too nice? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

As for your car, black and silver would look really nice... and for the seat idea, I'd love to have my seats like the 35th anv one's but the inserts be pewter in color instead of gray.

I have a Navy blue metallic Trans Am with Beige/tan interior... I was thinking about doing the air vents silver (just like the post originator) and surround them with navy-blue METALLIC (the exact color of the car).. is that going to look too much? my dashboard is black and seats are beige.. hmmm,,, anyone have any ideas?
