yeah, everything plastic in my car was painted piano black.

 

are you going to paint your jdm visors piano black too!? JK Aaron

 

Looks great, I have to take mine out to paint mine black too since they are that marble paint from before. I may as well make the leap too.

What other mods can I copy haha.

 

^ make the leap to 05-06 lighted controls? DOET!

wait...did you get rid of the marble? I liked the marble!

 

Nice mod Aaron,

I wonder how the DIY will affect my current aftermarket stereo controls if I decide to go this route...

 

You will have to reprogram the pac unit.....thats what I had to do.....but that may not be due to me having to switch the controls out, but rather, I unplugged the battery during the install.

 

Yea the marble is gone, I went black around the same time as you did. On the plastics that is

 

i heard once you go black.....you never go back.......on the car that is.

 

have you considered painting your AC vents piano black too? i just painted mine gunmetal along with my dash and door pull

 

 

greddy twins that is?

 

pix?

I have thought about it......but havent made a decision yet. I'm a big fan of doing things in moderation, I was afarid if i did too much it'd start lookg a lil tacky. show me yours!!!

 

do itt! man it wont look tacky, if anything is tacky is the ugly oem brownish beige that they put in the interior. The only thing i have left to paint is the sorround for the clock above the dash and the shift **** but if the shift **** starts to peel i'm buying an aftermarket shift ****, in some of the pics especially the last one you can compare the gunmetal with the stock color that surrounds the clock.

Here's the pix..

 

lol yeah you're welcome bish

 

it looks better on willow but on my graphite interior the black contrast is pretty okay. But man, it hurts me a lil everytime I see the metra kit, those buttons really do the interior of the G no justice.
