It doesnt look like it has areas for the HVAC control lighting to shine thru at all.

that's because the lights come through the knobs and buttons. if you look at this pic... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...chmentid=45536

you see it's the same... if you want paint then check out this product.

PPG's "Pewter Gray Metallic" (DBI-301-477). you should be able to get a pint mixed for you at any automotive paint shop

the light comes through the knobs and buttons.. and also the area surrounding the knobs to show your fan speed, temp, etc.

Those are definetly knock offs..

someone should buy and tell us how they are..

and i painted my panel flat black.. i hated that stock color

Hardy panel

you guys don't like the metalicy look? the thing is isn't it kinda hard to paint the center console... with the ash tray and all the holes and stuff... plus you'd have to mask off the entire "boot" part of it too.
