I'm gong to paint it yellow when I do my interior door handles and my rear diffusers. I'm even thinking of painting the plastic piece right below the windshield that always gets completely sun faded. It may look good body color but, more than likely will be black again.

Yellowboxster, I am thinking about doing something like this with the Dinoc film. Do you have more pics of your complete interior after you put everything back together?

i had been thinking about wrapping the door pocket lids and those little black plastic pieces adjacent to the door pulls.... the ones you wrapped... i was thinkig of doing them in leather like Pedro did..but that stuf flooks pretty good!

i'd also consider painting myh pieces... i've already got a painted center console... and I wonder if more painted pieces woudl be "tooo much"... or if doing carbon fber woudl add one too many different colors/textures to the interior...

i have full leather so the ideea of adding a bit more leather..provided I could match it pretty close..woudl be nice.

my car has to go in for a new rear plastic window at an upholster shop, and I was thinking of having the "pros" do those parts for me..they coudl do it cheap and it woudl look good...

overall - great job.

oh yeah - CLEAN THAT CAR!!! it's filthy!!!

Love it!!! Have subscribed to this thread and ordered some!

How did you go with the ignition surround being a flexible rubber type surface? Looking
forward to seeing other parts you do, can't wait to start covering all my ugly
plain black plastic parts!

Wow, I haven't been on here in ages. It adheres great to the rubber once you heat it up. I have done several other of my interior pieces and went crazy over Christmas last year and covered most of the light switch plates, speaker tops, and microwave in my father's new garage.

It's really easy to work with Dinoc. I tried a couple others but, nothing looked more real and was as easy to work with. Post pictures of your interior!

don't get the fascination with this stuff. looks plain gross to me. It's got to take away from the resale value as well.
