Thanks for sharing the pics.

I love the painted console...I also have the painted seat backs. I do want to continue the paint scheme up from the console to the radio. I have a AS painted "batwing", but I may change the stereo and move the AC controls, so I'm waiting to install that and get the cubby tray painted, etc.

That's probably it for the aluminum accents. For me, a couple of things here and there work, but too many pieces and you lose the subtleness. Having said that, the final touch I'm thinking is the aluminum trim for the strip below the airbag and above the glovebox. That piece actually follows across to the drivers side, with a couple of small trim pieces and kinda breaks up the black with that horizontal line. Just not sure yet? May look for more pics, first.

As for the gauge rings...I just did them in place. Real easy DYI. I followed some hints from fellow list members and used the clear silicone and just held in them place overnight, with blue painters tape. Just dry fit everything first, in case you need to trim a tad and I used a toothpick to apply the silicone inside the rings.

Thanks! You know, it's a pain to upload, resize, add text, etc., but I know when listers are talking about something they did/added/changed on thier car, I always want to SEE IT!!
Hope I don't get lazy, in the future.
