red dash pieces?

[redlobster]

honestly I was thinking of painting my interior pieces that are black like dark red to match the mitsu symbol, what do some of you guys think about this? Im looking for opinions on this so i dont make a dumb move, thanks
(btw my interior has sorta whiteish seats and has a dark brown dash)

personally, i think that kinda stuff is hideous. i have yet to see one turn out good looking, and it looks totally "ricey" and "poser" to me.

but thats just my opinion.

[redlobster]

cool thats what im looking for, opinions one way or the other, becuz im not sold on doing it yet so i dont wanna mess up something thats nice , only half-assing it.
thanks

IMO it can look really tight, if done right.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it....

I did it to my car and I think it looks pretty damn good. I have got lots of compliments on them as well. Even from people who aren't into cars. Just sand over the peices with some fine sandpaper or fine steelwool and then clean them with alcohol then start painting. I got my paint a Walmart and they have this paint that is made to go on your dash parts so you don't have to primer it or anything.

Damn, I must be a ricer then.

i think it looks good if done right but most the time its not done right.. and just looks like the inside's made of leggo blocks all sorts of color's im probably gona do mine but im also gona have the whole interior done too. so its not gona look weird but in the end to each their own if you like it do it..

That makes me a ricer too. Damn, I was trying to stay away from that...no type-R stickers, no huge alluminum wings...no GTR badges, all of those rules...and at the end I still turn out to be a ricer. I better get my ass to the store and get a Type-R sticker then...now that my car is rice I need that.

If you don't like something it doesn't mean that it's rice. :x :evil:

[o0 XeRO G 0o]

no matter what you put on your car, somebody will think it's rice. neons, painted interior pieces, even white gauge faces. it doesnt matter what others think of your decision if you paint them or not, because everybody will have their own opinions, but you have the car. they're not going to be the ones driving it all the time, just you. thats how i look at it. :wink:

I think if it's done right, it will look clean and it will score points at a show.

Some people on this board keep their cars stock because they think that car is perfect when it's not modified. You don't hear people say that they are old farts and can't hook up their rides. So I don't think it's right to say that something sucks (painting interior for example), if you don't like it that's fine. I personally don't like many things people do to their cars, but out of respect I just don't say anything.

i think so too...mine needs a new coat though :?

i think its fine unless
1) The colors are all whacked...like one piece neon pink with the center pice bright yellow or something
2) They go overboard and paint every single piece of interior in there car
3) They do a half-ass job

and i think thats about the only ways you can mess it up

[quicksilver22]

[Dark Anghell]

OK people...I got the GTR badge on order...a couple of Type R stickers 62" in length for the sides...and the most important part...the alluminum wing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=1873797635 ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873797635').

Hey manybrews is there anything else i need to get...since my car is rice and all https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif , and you know what's rice and what's not https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

OOOH...I know, I know! How about...metal sideskirts to match my new metal wing...that's going to look hott! I'll paint those pink. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[2True]

OK GUYS! that's enough, everyone is entitled to their opinions and manybrews has his.
This has steered away from redlobster's question long enough, he wants opinions/suggestions on what color to paint his interior.

Stick to that or I'm gonna close this topic.


redlobster, I think with all the pics in this thread you should have some ideas now. Just do what you want, it's your car... express yourself bro.

hah i was kinda leanin more towards the people who paint everything like pure white! the kind that blind you everytime you look at it :lauging:

its all a matter of opinions...to each his own! manybrew has the right not too like it...

[redlobster]

lol thanks 2true, i know im new to this board but why do some members argue over something for somebody else's car? i appreciate all opinions and help but dont bicker of something dumb, you should be ragging on the honda's! anyways just take it easy some stuff that looks stupid to you might be cool to somebody else, if its on a galant its gonna be really hard to make it crappy looking IMO.
thanks

Ok...I guess i should appologize to manybrews...I just don't like people saying that my car is rice. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
As a way of appologizing I will contribute to this topic by posting some of my interior pics
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid47/p02b44a346b47034c34621226e3c92264/fcc1ef33.jpg

Ok redlobster I painted only the pieces you see in picture, I didn't paint the side vents. Other pieces painted were the speaker grilles front and rear. I tried to match the paint to the exterior of the car...but it turned out a bit lighter, so I will get actuall car paint (used to paint cars at bodyshops), use a professional spray gun and then use some clearcoat on top.

My friend did his blue RX-7 in blue...and it looks good.

It usually looks the best if you use some darker colors because they match the dark interior, and they don't give out a lot of glare from the sun, etc.

[redlobster]

that looks pretty bad ass
nice pics
