Alright, I am dying to spruce up my interior. I am going to paint side vents, dash stripes, Horseshoe, cluster surround and lower console artic silver (rest interior black)

I am debating to paint the defrost vents and alarm piece artic silver also. I am not sure if they would throw too much glare up on the window though.

Anyone done this? I remember seeing a pic somewhere but can't find it now.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

 

Wow......33 views and no comments?

Am I just stupid to think of doing this? Driving in today I noticed it glared out with just the charcoal colored ones now. Not sure how much more it would do.

 

they might; why not paint a piece of cardboard or paper and tape to the dash. drive around and see how much glare there is.

this way if its too much you won't have painted a part; just the cardboard.

 

Thanks for the reply. I had thought that today while letting a friend drive her today at lunch. I was sitting *itch looking around interior thinking about the project.

BTW nice track shots in your other posts....

 

I just ordered the painted rear console today.... in speed yellow. I have aluminum track mats and alum pedals. The console armrest will be carbon fiber to match the handbrake and shiftknob. I think I will stop there.

 

Well in my C2 I had the upper AC vents in Artic Silver, I will tell you this they reflect bad....So does Carbon Fiber so its a small price to pay.I did get used to it after a while

lol mark....
kilgrt any old pictures?

 

I looked for a while and this was the best one i could find , i was trying to get a pic of the 996 cab in the rear view, it does show the reflection...mind the ugly guy in the pic..he is me

 

Thanks for the pic..... yup pretty good refelection going on there. Will have to experiment a bit. Used ones look to run 50-100 so might be worth getting a set and painting those.
