Well I painted my interior glossy black. Everything is just clipped on. There is a how-to on here somewhere. I've had mine for about 3 months with no chips. You just have to know how to paint. Wet sand, clean, 2 coats primer, 2 coats paint, 2 coats clearcoat,m then let dry overnight for best results. Sorry I have no pics I'm on my phone and my computer internet is down.
Here is a picture of my interior. I've replaced all of the trim pieces with black instead of silver(its not jet black, but its black enough for me). The glove box and piece under the wheel were also replaced with black instead of grey.
The only piece I have left to replace is the middle console between the seats...just waiting to find one at a yard.
Also note....the little silver area between the center dash and the glove box....the spot with the black spot colored on it. You will NEED to have that painted. You can replace it but it is attached to a HUGE piece of the interior dash workings. The top of the dash, about a dozen or more screws, the light sensor on the dash, AND the passenger airbag have to be messed with in order to get that piece out. I wouldn't recommend it.
Like I said before, I have all the pieces that are black in mine available if you want them.
The 4 trim pieces will cost around $60 total
The glove box and under wheel piece are around $30 each.
The fuse panel covers and the driver side cover are $15 for the pair.
So for all those pieces you're looking at a little over $100 plus shipping from me. I've just been lucky that a yard local to me has about a dozen or so cobalt/pursuit/g5's in shambles.

Tight, the black looks SWEET!! i like what i'm seeing....i just wanted to see what gray interior pieces look like.
jlmd--How much do you think the dash would be for...that would save me a TON of money!!

I don't know how much it would be. Guessing....and this is a guess based on nothing is that it would be around $80-$100 or so....but again, I have nothing to base that on. I haul the parts of the car and basically go and haggle with the guy at the counter over price.
It could very well only cost $50...I dunno.

MSRP on the dash pieces you will need is up around $300 depending on what you need.
If you need JUST the core dash piece it retails for $180.
If you need the part that covers the hvac vents by the front window that is worth another $40 new.
If you need the hvac vents on the front of the dash, they are like $40 each.
I expect to be charged around 40-50% of retail so depending on what you need, you're looking at anywhere from $90-$150 for the main dash piece.
