Interior choices

Alrite so i hate ma 04 interior and i know theres not much i can do about it. Im planning on painting the trim pieces so which colour do you guys would look best. My coupes twilight blue and i got a black interior. The headliner is beige rite now but will be converted to black suede asap. Im thinking along the lines of flat black, gloss black, or carbon fiber. Im gonna be painting all the accents so the door handles, window switch trim, speaker bezels, the dash, center console, and the clock trim. Let me know what you guys thinkk

Did you see the interior of the silver 350 that was at the meet? My buddy did his interior with CF cloth... said it was hell, but looks amazing!

I am trying to convince him to do mine... still not working lol

yea if the cloth came with the backing already sticky or sumtin like a sticked would be soo much easier. Ther fact that u gotta spray the glue stuff makes it a messy job

I promise if you paint your interior you will regret it, i have been down this road...it will look good for about a month then it will get scratched and chipped at first you will stay on top of touching it up then it will get away on you and end up looking sh1ty and cheap. Don't do it.

do it... nighthawk black pearl.... this guy i know did it.. i will post pics tomorrow.... AMAZING!! he had the vents and everything done... believe me... if you keep your car clean.. you have NOTHING to worry about.

and personally, i don't think this is ricey at all. your color matching your car and CF cloth is no different then suede, leader, vinyl or even having it painted.. its a personal preference. i'm sure the CF CLoth looks sick... too bad i didn't get a chance to see it.. but painting it is not a bad idea at all..

as long as the chrome trims are in place where they should be, and the paint is not matte...

in fact... hell, i'm having mine redone as well, so we can do it together... at newimage... they can wrap it with leather if you want as well.

well.. some people paint over the chrome trim or other trims and cause the whole thing to look like 1 colour.

and I swear i got caught up with a whole buncha **** today.. you gotta hear it to believe it.. by this weekend, for sure ok? !!! and i'll see you soon...

my bumper, is okk i guess.. i'm picky so that small 2 inch long scratch underneath the bumper bothers me.... if my car is on a hoist, then you can notice it, otherwise its "ok" i guess... damn your driveway!!!!

I'm in the same boat! I have a 04 TB. Is there any kind of gauge kit for these? My dash looks a little dates and I'm trying to find something to make it look a little more current.

I had 06-07 gauges done .. Cost me around 500$ so far with shipping costs taken into account. Finished product will be available for pics in 1.5 weeks

Headliner needs to b measured so let me know when ur down next so we can get it done. (newimage)
