post pics of everything installed. I'll be honest, not sure about the blue and gold. Gotta see it. :shock:
doesnt look like you sprayed very even coats either but it still looks wet in those pics i will have to see the finished product
I likd it better the first time, with the black trim, no gold...
im assuming you wanted to paint your car blue and possibly have gold rims, so this is going along with that theme?
i guess ill wait till the final outcome before i judge
Hey I got a question for you. How did you get the air vent in the middle out the one that covers 2 air conditioning vents. I've tried to play around a little w/ the dash pieces and all seem to come off easy except that one when I went to take that off it seemed real stiff and didn't want to budge is there any special tool to help get it out?
Hmmnn.... Interesting... Not sure if I can say I like it 100%. But I would like to see the final outcome.
I'm sort of okay with the gold... but seeing a tri-colored interior always bothers me... Then again I wasn't fond of tan interiors. But hey! Thats just me!
Your interior is surprisingly clean though!
May I ask, how come you have a wire sticking out under the steering wheel?
Hahahah is the box of cheetios apart of your future plan too? Hahah just teasing though.
you should look at some posts about painting and try again
the gold is going away, new color coming in and everything isnt the new colors yet. i didnt have time to take apart the doors againQuote:

Did you use vinyl spray on the glovebox? It's that weird material... I'm trying to black out the whole dash, go to black leather seats, and momo steering wheel... I just cant reach the top 3 bolts with my shitty tools...
that wire is the swtich for on and off while driving. i can have it on while the car isnt on. but i guess that the state law doesnt SAY IT but the cheif of police siad ANY color while in motion is illegal. altho it doesnt say anything about yellow or white in the state law. gay. plus i think it helps see other cars in foggy weather so i keep mine on when its foggy. for now i agreed to just cut them off so that officer doesnt try to pull me over and say they were on, stupid small towns and power trip copsQuote:

the black/gold is going away... its just a currant update of what ive done
edit: i havnt had time to take the rest apart yet, just give it time. i am prepared for flame tho
I'm not taking about the Gold, the gold was fine with tan interior, somewhat but that blue with speckles, no dude! I don't like it anyway.
well so far no likes, i like your previous setup though...like you said your not finished, so i'll wait for the final outcome...but yea right now it looks blahh
well i didnt know it has sparkles. thats what you get for $4 from walmart lolQuote:

tonight my second payment for something goes out, but both of my last 2 payments are for Exterior upgrades/new looks. just hang in there a while.
and one thing i always remember. not everyone will like the look, but you dont have to drive it
thanks for your opinion, hopefully it will change when the final outcome is posted, but hey if it doesnt not a biggy, atleast i can take both good and bad commentsQuote:

dude.....sparkly blue paint.......yikes! what were you thinking? dude that is soo baad. the gold accent peices with the flat black was actually tight bro. but then you done went and threw a monkey wrench in the game when you added the sparkle blue paint that looks like it has glitter in it. lol i gotta give it up to you man....your not afraid to try things that are difrent. ill wait to see what you have planned next. but in all honesty.....i would repaint those blue peices asap......change back to flat black. black n sparkly blue dont go good together. black gold and sparkly blue definatly dont go good together. the blue by itself........maybe, just make sure its a flat version of that color. if you had a blue car with gold wheels the blue with gold might actualy pop a little. but man.....you keep a clean car bro. my shit is maad filthy lil homie. how do you keep it soo damn clean?
hmm now that i see it in the car it doesnt look like it seated evenly i see some spots that are heavier then others, i think the black was nicer and it was definatelly cleaner
i didnt realize it was that sparkly when i bought it, but the black and gold is going. it looked good but trying out something else. it was not even $8 at walmart so if i need too i can just sand off the clear, primer and repaint a different color. but soon it will be all blue. how do i keep it clean, well i hate having it be a mess in the first place. every two weeks or so i clean it so it does get messy just not as messy, and having a girlfriend that has to sit there almost everyday after school, she gets annoyed so shell clean it if i wont :lol:Quote:

black on black would be nice, but im not able to redo the whole interior. would love to have a full black interior seats, carpet, dash, doors, etc. but its just not realistic for me rite now. if i could do that id so all leather and keep the car gold on the outside, throw some black tint and call it a day
u were going the route I wanna go eventually
black accents on a tan interior that is just a classy look
put it back to stock or wrap everything in black. I would never paint my dash that way unless you kick it with pimps and hoes.
