Here some pics of my new wheels, new interior lights and painting.

wheels don't have center caps on yet because the lugs nuts i have on are too long, im gonna be getting new ones this week









I painted the gauge cluster, shifter surround, door handles, window controls, heater control knobs and dash window vents all gunmetal silver to match the brushed aluminum piece on the dash, it is pretty much an exact color match







what do ya think????

 

looks nice man.did u paint those? or did u get the set from Lighttrikz..

 

very nice

 

Looks good, now all you need exterior wise is a new grill and a drop. What paint did you use for the interior, it looks really nice. How did you paint the shifter surround, did you just tape it off?

 

the bulbs are lighttrikz, i got them from another member for $15.50, including the radio (im sending him my old one)
the paint color i used is gunmetal metallic. i got it at autozone
and as for the shifter surround, when i was installing my lights i just pulled up the entire center console, because i was curious about painting the shifter. Basically underneath the center console, the entire shifter sorround comes apart. You will see once you remove everything.

Its pretty sweet, all you need to take apart the entire interior of the car is a phillips head screwdriver and a butter knife

and thanks for the positive feedback lads

 

So far so good. I like what you did with the interior.

 

honestly.. that shyt looks CLEAN.. i love the color matched trim.. and i love the red light kit for the controls.. i need to get me that.. NICE.. ooh BTW the rims looks very good with the color of the car.. some coil-overs and your good to go..

 

yeh i wash the car at least once a week, try to keep it clean. the funny thing is, most of the time its dirty. My house is surrounded by trees, so constantly have leaves, sticks and dripping sap all over my car. I have to park my car on grass/sand, so the wheels are always dirty. And finnally we have about 10 cats around our house and they always sleep on the hood, so i have paw prints and fur all over it.

if i didn't wash it as often as i do it would be trashed. Thankfully im getting married so i will be getting my own cat/tree/sand free house

 

i was thinking that i may leave the car silver. I was originally planning on spraying it blue. But the new wheels match the silver so well i may just leave it.
heres an old photoshop of the car blue





you think i should leave it silver?????

 

Looks good crypto! Keep up the good work

 

Oh, and leave your car silver

I think it looks good with the wheels

 

BTW.. what are the specs on the rims??..

 

your in luck, i just posted the specs in another thread

wheels- Enkei DM5s 17x7 with a +40 offset. approx 18 lbs each.
tires- Kumho Ecstas 215/40/17s

 

bump for opinions on the color change.

 

Stick with the silver and put a nice drop on the car instead.
