The center console and up the dash looks great, I live that look.

Everything turned out looking great! What do you think about painting the faceplate to the climate control?

I'm in the process of painting my interior trim as well. I got factory match paint that matches my exterior from expresspaint.com (per suggestions from members of the forum). I decided to do the faceplate trim of the climate control unit as well and felt it helped unify the already painted pieces. It was pretty easy to remove the faceplate trim from the unit. Three screws hold the unit together and then there are some smaller screws that hold the faceplace to the led screens and buttons. Here's a pic with the climate control painted...

I've also partially painted the faceplate of the becker (ran out of paint, more comes on Wednesday). In retrospect it might be a little overkill to paint the stereo faceplate but I guess there's no turning back now. I gotta finish the job.

I also just finished installing the ipod adapter and ipod holder which I painted Seal Grey metallic as well. On wednesday I'll also be painting the upper frame of the console (trim above the vents)

Forgive the crappy flashy photo.

That looks great, CJ. I like it better than the blue you had before.
