I also did the pillars black and i thought they came out great!

at least someone has the ***** to do it, i think it looks alright from the pictures i saw, but i'd like to see more with a more full lit view of the interior. I have a black balt and also can't get enough of the blackness.

so i figured since everyone else was painting their dashes just the exterior stock color i would try to be different. Although i absolutely love the way that everyone else's turned out i had to take yet another step in the "i gotta be different" column.
Now my mission was to figure out exactly that... how do i make it anymore different... i mean its just a couple of dash pieces.... till the answer stood out right infront of me... i'll just let the stripes appear to flow into the dash onto the pieces that we are all ever so addicted to painting....
so i bring everyone up to speed on project "striped interior"
well for some reason the other pics wont load... so here is my cardomain site and on the very bottom are some more pics...

Disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling . (Basically pull the airbag fuses)
On the sides of the steering wheel are 2 openings. Insert a small blunt-ended punch, or equivalent, through the access openings on the left and right of the steering wheel.
Push the spring fastener inward through the access hole. Repeat the step for the other opening. Disconnect the wires from the airbag module and put it someplace safe, metal side down. Remove the screws from the trim pieces.

i totally fucked mine up haha. I did the radio bezel perfect (exactly how I wanted it) but the small pieces are fed up becuase I wasnt thinking and i let it sit on a bucket with some thinner and it like messed the plastic up. I have to sand it all super smooth very very carefully now. but I do really like the way the radio one turned out.

just rough them up a little bit and use a good primer. never cheap out on the primer as any flaws in the base coats will show through to the final product
