Gmoe Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Did a quick Photoshop to see what it would look like if I painted/covered the "wood" interior pieces. I just quickly covered the shift knob to hide the wood on it as I would replace it with either a Momo, or aftermarket if/when I try this. Still thinking of how to change the small areas on the doors. Black contact paper comes to mind. I think this looks much nicer/sportier. I don't exactly love the silver trim option either, so I figured something different. http://lh6.google.com/gmoreschi/Rq6SORmybTI/AAAAAAAAAqM/45qvJW4-nc4/s800/intblack.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKullman Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I like it, it would be nice if someone made a kit. I'm glad the wood isn't glossy like the previous gen, otherwise it would be bug me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltForge Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 That actually looks pretty good! Keep us up to date if you find at solution for turning all of the wood pieces black like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azca Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think grey or silver would look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoWagon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I forget who, but there is some JDM company that makes them in carbon fiber but pricey iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogdog Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I did this, did it with a can of flat Krylon fusion and a satin clear coat on top of that. I started out with a 150 or 220 sand paper and wiped it down with alcohol and blew off with compressed air. Holding up well did almost 2 years ago. Lemme see if I can find a pic. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/files/447872_1d637/TABBFVIB85936MW.JPG Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Did you remove the door part to paint? I have the silver and have a member willing to do an even trade. Just need to remove and send those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 I didn't remove the door piece. I couldn't get it to budge. For now, I covered it with the same black vinyl that's on the shifter knob. I'd like to take it off and paint/trade, but I'm not sure it's as easy as it seems it would be.

Just need to remove and send those. I did remove the door, IIRC the door unscrews from the back. I masked off the silver trim piece on the door as well as the gear selectors. Just did it with blue painter's tape and an exacto knife. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillboy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I went for the "piano black" look rather than satin. Looks much better in person as the camera flash washes out the regular interior and makes it look gray. Never got around to taking a pic in daylight without the flash. It is still ugly.

Gmoe Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 ^ I like that and I did consider a gloss finish. I went with satin/flat to try and blend with the dash as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Small town body shop...$20. I had my doubts on the shift lever, but the masking was excellent. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
