The lip looks good,. Although I wouldn't have chosen white, the interior looks a lot better than mine.

My "carbon fiber" crap-plastic on the dash got ruined before I bought the car. Somebody cleaned it with something that softened the plastic. I don't know what to do about it.

I don't know that it would hold paint.

Haha I love it! I've actually been debating on doing the same thing except all white instead. Lip looks nice, n you've encouraged me to finally go through with painting my interior as well. Wat kinda paint did you use if you don't mind my asking.

That's a good deal

I'm thinking about my interior as well but, not too certain on the colour scheme. I'm going flat black/silver for my exterior. Flat black accessories since it's a silver car.

I had it with the red and carbon before but it wasn't the look I liked lol. and I've seen many different types but I hadn't seen the white so wanted something different. but it's the 3rd time I changed it and its not going to be the last. :P

looks pretty bad *** man(the lip and interior)...i like the interior, it looks diferent..
i can only imagine how reflective it is tho, and glare is VERY annoying...(unless the paint is flat...doesnt look it tho)

i used to drive a ford fusion a few years back(w/ the 2.3 and 5-speed) and it had theese stupid little chrome things on the ac vents, so i ended up putting scotch tape on them to cut the glare down because it was SO annoying....i used to get such bad headaches from it if driving at dawn or dusk...(and everytime my dad got in the car he'd rip the tape off n be like...it looks bad...so then id have to put more tape back on..lol)
