I know that's what I said too, but it always is something or another with this car. Soon as I get one thing fixed something else gets fucked up. I just finish fixing my starter on Sat after it having to sit for a week. SMH

UPDATE:

Got a few things done that I finally got around to taking pics of...

97-01 Mirage LS manually folding power mirrors:

Removed most of my woodgrain pieces & got another set of interior trim pieces from the JY a lil while back and had them painted matte black also:

And this is the Non-Smokers cubby pocket that I've been looking for "Forever" from Fatal1 (Thx bro!):

Future Plans for the Interior:
1) Repaint my shifter bezel matte black again
2) Find a new shifter without woodgrain & remove the last piece of woodgrain on the shifter
3) Get the top part of the dash dyed black & replace black air vents with OEM tan ones
4) Black Carpet
5) Redo Sun Visors & Headliner (it's sagging again)
6) Black Leather Rear Seat
7) 10" Infinity Bass Link subwoofer for the trunk
8) New tweeters (thats why the trim is missing for the mirrors)
9) Rear Door speakers (at the bottom)
10) Install my Diamante Rear Dome Lights that I've had for almost 2 years! LOL!
11) Black Armrest
12) Black 3G Steering Wheel

That's All Folks!

Leaving the mirrors black? either way it looks good just curious.

They are staying black. These are the Mirage LS mirrors which were originally body color (silver) from the donor cars I got them from, unlike the other mirage models where they come black with black trim. I got these specifically because I wanted a completely paintable surface and to have them painted matte black to match the wheels. That way it won't get that faded scratchy black look after a while from aging.

Well you sir have a nice car. i am going to have to grab me some of those 2nd gens

I like the interior. I would add the panel to the immersion print, in the same style. For example dark red wood or light walnut. It will be in harmony with your black inserts. Think about it...
