Default so i got bored this mornin

and was takin the dash pad out of my car to fix the cracks until i broke it more and figured out i didnt have the stuff need to fix it. then realized i have a dremel tool and a soldering iron to take my door inserts out and paint them. i think it turned out great.







it wasnt really that hard after i figured out how they came apart.

I liked how it was before you painted them; the scuffs didn't show as much.

Why don't you just remove them and have an upholstery shop cut a new piece of material using the old one as a template?? 1,000,000 times better that way.

Personally, it looks tacky. Especially since the rest of the inside of your car is black.

I like it... would look awesome if the center section of the seats was the same color... breaks up the blackness

Agreed. But to each his own.

yea i bought some grey suede today and im gona redo it right and prolly wrap the radio bezel. the vinyl i bought to wrap the dash pad is a lighter color and will actually match the door panels and radio bezel. later on im gona two tone the seats with grey in the middle so it will match the rest of it, so it will just have to be like this for now. its a work in progress just like the rest of the car, ill just do a lil at a time. oh and my interior is not black its charcoal.

and what are yall talkin about scuffs, the only thing i see is the crap thats on the kick panel and its just dirt it can be wiped off. and i think im gona go do the speaker grills in black so it doesn't stand out as much.
