    Default blacked out silver interior trim

    I plastidiped or more correctly "flexidipped" (as home depot only had the off brand the past 3 times I've checked) the silvery faux aluminum pieces of the interior minus the parts on the steering wheel as I couldn't figure out how to get it off by looking at it and I didn't feel like looking it up. I feel like it's a little more classy now and I like it. Please excuse the poor picture quality my phone camera lens is cracked and for some reason everything is purple

    I was honestly just putting my sunglasses back in the car and thought I wonder how hard this is to take off, and it just popped right out haha. The steering wheel takes quite a bit more it turns out you have to take the wheel off completely then remove 4 screws to get it off so I'll probably just leave it.

    Steering wheel isn't bad at all. I did this same thing, then decided I liked it, so I started ordering black trim from Paul.

    I used black flexidip which is rustoleums response to plasti dip it looks smoother when it dries but it is lighter than plasti dip and can look Gray at times. I'm not sure if you can tell but the arrowhead surround has flexidip and the grill has plastidip. Normally the lightness irretates me but it works perfectly with the inside.

    I would do the steering wheel and it doesn't sound to difficult to do but I really need to finish packing for college because I leave in 2 days I probably spent to much time just doing the easy pieces. And if you don't mind me asking do you have any pictures of the steering wheel with the black trim so I can see if I want to do it during one of my breaks.

    Yeah, I'll dig some up. I ended up peeling them and covering with vinyl, due to the dip slowly getting scratched up.
