Its not bad as pewter, but it can look really horrid when people try to do any other color.

ehhhh... I prefer to leave paint on the outside of the car. I was guilty of painting vents and interior trim in my ricer days on my grand am though.

You should look into re-routing the GPS and Radar detector wires under the dash, up the A-pillar under that panel, and then dropping them up by the rear view mirror. MUCH cleaner look and clears off the dash nicely

i think it adds a slight modern look a little bit..but i would never go as far as to paint my vents

well the reason why i have them there is because its an easy reach when im driving..and well the wires arent too long either..atleast the radar wire isnt

Looks like you did a good job but the F-Body interior is so horrible little can be done to make it look good. I wouldn't do mine but thats just me

Looks alot better than I thought it would, pewter actually pulls it off.

I like how everyone says they like it but wouldn't do it. And I agree. Most the time I hate painted interior but that is definitely one of the best jobs I've seen. Its clean and its not ******* red.
