Hey all!

Well I have been gettin the bug to upgrade again so check out what I did!

This past weekend the body shop guy at the shop I work at helped me paint some interior peaces. I removed everything and tapped the window switches off and the instrument cluster (which was a pain! took over 2 hours) then scuffed everything down and painted! At first it was suppose to be a light silver but it looked gold. Then we changed to a light charcoal. Its actually kinda cool. After we cleared it it came out with a bluish tint to it. Looks pretty cool!

About a month ago we tried to put the "true flames" on the tailgate. They look cool but I think a little to "neat". Might redo them and make them messier.

The pics don't do it much justice as I can see that the colors do change with the light-kinda cool.Is it difficult to remove all the stuff and get it back on tight again?I always have the problem with it not fitting correctly when I re-assemble lol those worthless door panel clips are the worse!
 
I like it a lot. Very nice job. A very nice subtle difference in color between the factory grey and what you painted everything else. I really like how the color looks in the picture of the cup holders and cubby holes.
 
Hey thanks guys!! :cheers2:

Ya It does kinda look camilian when you actually look at it. We just used left over paint from painting another car. Originally I thought it was more silver like the outside but it turned out that cool lookin blue! :thumbsup:

No the parts werent hard to get on good again. The only part that gave me any problems was removing the 2 cigarett plugs from th center column. The dash cluster cover and 2 cubbie holes and center tray just popped off. The door panels only have 3 screws in then the panel easily comes off. 2 screws for the window switch and there are some tabs to unbend to remove the speaker cover. Wasnt to bad. The firts time sucks but I could probably have it off again in 15 minutes! :D
