It looks like there are some big gaps in the bottom. If you're going to post some "along the way" photos, let's do it right the first time?

You must be looking at a different picture since I spent my day making sure the gaps are no different than those in the car already. If you have the same bezel arrangement in your car then you can see that the clover parts of the bezel are slightly raised from the the center portion, a couple mm or so.

IIRC, our cars are literally the same speed up that long hill in the same gear at the same speed when putting the pedal to the floor. That means I'm getting better gas mileage, and lugging a lighter load. All with my DUAL row IMS. :dance:

Ohhhhh, I didn't know we were putting the pedal to the floor. I'll be sure to do that next time

But back on topic. I plan on spraying the trim piece and center console tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm torn between a couple options right now. The first is spraying it that arctic silver color, the second is the seal gray, and the last two options are going with flat or glossy black. Any suggestions? I've posted a couple pictures for reference. I've also been entertaining the idea of black brushed metal vinyl wrap :O
