yeah Im going to paint the uper and lower. Ive been wanting to do this for a long time but I just didnt know if the NAV screen surround would come off. Well I finally got off my lazy **** and just did it. It wasnt that bad, took me about a half hour to get it out of the car and to this point. Ill post pics of it done tomorrow. In the end it should look something like this

I like the idea. Are you painting the door handles as well? I also have a willow interior and I don't really like the plastic silver with the willow interior.

Good call.

Let us know the price to paint these items. Clear coat as well?

I was kinda disappointed in the durability of the silver plastic around the stereo and A/C controls. Mines got a few scratches.

So what kind of paint are you using? I was hoping a vendor would have come out with a REAL brushed Al replacement or a CF replacement (not stick on)

Looks like a good idea, I wish I could get every part of my interior which is silver, painted the same color as my car

Your wife is right...you are crazy And I like it!!! Definately something different and I think the contrast with your interior makes it work. Nice work and I applaud your innovation.

G352NV: I like your taste.....it's over the top and bold. Painting the interior console the same as the exterior adds a retro-look like what Foose and Coddington are doing in their designs. Nice!!!
