aluminum-look interior.....pics please

I'm looking at getting an aluminum-look center console as well as an aluminum-look center radio surround. Does anyone here willing to post any pics, yours or not, of aluminum-look interiors? The interior of my car is just so plain black that I wanted to pump a bit more life in it. Can't do any exterior body-colored scheme because my car's exterior is also black. I think aluminum-look is my best bet. I don't like CF set-ups.

4Scargo is infamous around these parts
Me too. Although I have considered painting my console seal gray, doing a silver type of carbon fiber, or painting it gloss black. Painting it gloss black is at the top of my list. I don't think the stick on aluminum is the answer. Maybe silver aluminum look paint....maybe. BTW mine is seal gray w/black interior

My calipers are black. My interior is also black but with pretty much visible wear & tear on the center console. My car does have some silver trimming like the door handles, shift ****, the hood & trunk release and the handle for the door storage. I've also added in silver gauge rings. So I'm thinking of just going all the way with the silver trimming look.

I did order this from euromotorspeed (the ebay seller for the double din kit):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_1883wt_1165

Plus working with them on the matching silver a/c surround trimming.

Before you do that, would you consider trading? Mine are all black... and my car is Arctic Silver. I've been meaning to have mine painted, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think that interior would look terrific on my car.

Let me know.

I love the look, never having one without it.

When people walk past the car, they always stops and gives a double take. Some people think its a 1,500.00 dollar up grade or a limited model.


The install was a cake walk... just take your time.

Thanks for the pics! That is the exact center console I just bought for my car. Now with these pics, it is easier to visualize it and from what I see, I like it and believe I made the right choice for my car and for myself. Next up is the silver a/c-stereo headunit surrounds.
