changed up the interior a bit...

Idk if you guys remember but, my interior pieces on the dash were in red. Well i got around to changin it up and this is what i came with...

The vents are in gray, and what was red is now in gloss black. Let me know what you guy's think, i went with this because i plan on going with black & gray seats. ill take better pics this weekend, as ill be doing a few more appearance mods at the time.

Left the speaker cover gray for now...

Well honestly, i did a shitty/half assed job on these. They were painted red to begin with, so instead of going through all the sanding down and smoothing out the pieces. I just cleaned up the pieces with degreaser, then just hit them with a few coats of dupli color's gloss black vinyl paint from Advanced Auto. I didnt spray any clear coat, although maybe i shouldve. They dont really shine greatly. It came out better then expected but if your's havent been painted already. I dont think you would really need to do any sanding, or primer at all. Unless you want to, but im sure if you just clean them up with some degreaser and then hit them with gloss black & a clear coat and they would be just fine. Mine are holding up pretty well so far, for just a few coats of paint and it's been hott all week long.
