heres the how to for painting your dash trim
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...steering+wheel


my cost for the stuff iirc

Dupli-Color Spray paint - got at Kragen(auto zone, o'reillys, pretty much any auto parts store that carries duplicolor)
1 can of T0294(Toreadore Red) paint + 1 can ofT125(clear) = $12 with tax


3M 600 Grit - got at lowes(again, pretty much and 600-800 grit sand paper will work fine from and diy home improvement store)
imperial wet or dry sandpaper 3.66" x 9" sheets(5 count) = $4 with tax

This is my next favorite color after black

I would get rid of those chrome trim things on the doors. Other than that looks pretty good.

They're not chrome, they're clear, and they keep my doors from getting scratched or dinged if I open them too far and smack something.

I don't either, but lots of other people think there's some magical force that stops the door from hitting stuff for some reason, so I put those on for the instances when one of my passengers falls into that category.

you are not suppose to have tint on the front side window in michigan so i went with 35% tint in the hopes that the cops wouldnt notice it, then went 20% on the back 3 window so they would not be glaringly different then the front sides.

Okay i see where you are coming from. Although every car I have owned has had illegal tint and I have never got a ticket

Mine meters at 12% all the way around

Do you have a visor?

LOL, I love my red, wouldn't trade it for anything except pink/black combo (but that's cause I'm a girl)

I love your color, just doesn't look like red, maroonish. Looks great in the sunlight all shiny
