Black Trans Am HVAC/Light *****
I considered looking into getting the Camaro controls, but I like the shape and feel of the Firebird controls so much better. I used clear tape to cover the white parts and an X-Acto knife to cut the tape to only cover the white/transparent section. I then used a vinyl dye to paint them black. The texture is unchanged. The feel of the **** is unchanged, and the transparent part still shines through perfectly. I think I am going too far with this "rebuild" of my interior, but this sure worked out well!
Sorry for the poor picture quality. They look OEM in person, but the iPhone doesn't take great pictures.

Yeah, it is a high gloss. I am regretting the amount of gloss a little, but it might look good with "our" black gauges. Otherwise, I might go with a lesser gloss finish. I'll shoot you a PM with pics when done, but like I told ya, could be months. Or when the gauges come in, I'll see if I can do a mockup to show how they match.

Ouch, but on the plus side, they really look awesome in person and feel stock. On the lights, I have no clue as of yet. I am converting to blue, but I haven't been able to look into it further than that. Way too much going on now that finals are a week away. Sorry man, I'm still wondering too!
