When you are done, take some white touch-up paint or white spray paint and spray it in the cap. Then use a small brush to paint the icons on the a/c registers. It's a small thing but it makes the dash look great......makes it look like how a stock black dash is supposed to look.

I used SEM vinyl dye (landau black) on my my blue interior and it came out great, but painting those icons white really made it all come together.

i agree with what 25th said

I did that, and it turned into basically me and 4 or 5 people. You dont get a lot of answers or anything in progress threads, even though I love them!

i agree...what did you end up doing with your interior?

dont forget your steering wheel:)

it will be fine if i dye that?


now that i see it in black and think some white face gauges would look nice? with a 140MPH speedo of course..
 
I wouldn't use it on your steering wheel considering you'll have your hands on it so much it will rub off. I would just use any good interior cleaner/wax on it and it will look good.
 
that looks very nice! i love it! :nice:

what about the blue collar around the steering wheel? could you get that off and spray it black??

i love my black interior sooo much. I have white face gauge faces (i'm assuming they're overlays?) that i wanna rip out soooooooooo bad. they're like the only damn thing in the interior that's white and IMO it looks like crap. i wouldnt recommend em at all.

nice progress man

yeah that collar...i must of missed it...i pull that off and do that wensday.

got a pic of your cluster?


either way i want a 140mph speedo.


yeah...after seeing your interior while you were over here is what made up my mind on going black :nice: ......i just dont know if i want to go black carpet grey seats then do some grey accents on the door panels or what yet....

i dont have a pic of my cluster no sorry. i can try and get one tomorrow. the speedo/cluster gauges are 200mph whitefaces that the previous owner put in.

when i first drove it im like wtf 200mph....but it isnt calibrated or anything (i dont know if/how you can for 200) so when im going 70 it says 100. it pisses me off to no end. :(

well im glad my interior helped sway you over to the black! i've seen some nice interiors pull off the whole "accents" deal. it could end up costing $$$ if you'd try for all black.

yeah that why i was thinking grey seats...black carpet...then going and buying some vinyl(to keep it cheap) and doing some inserts on the door panels where the carpet is....im cheap..only spend $20 so far :shrug:
