I've done the similar upgrade 6 months ago, I also think about all white before, but I pinat the dash pc. in silver and rear console and seats back in white!

All white looks very good!

Ray,
Your car looks great...What else did you do to your car? Thank you for sharing your pictures Great now I have to get the seat shells and paint them white- I was going to wait, now that I see your car I can't... This will be a B-day present from me to me..
Alright after this car I may need some serious rehab.....

First I'll get the car done than get to PDE - Maybe 2005 ???

Thanks!

I've H&R sping with my cab, I'm looking for wheels and areo kits. Your's is 100% what I wish for! very nice cab.

If you're going to paint the seats back, find some porfresional to do it right, it can be really mess, trust me! You will be love it when you go top down with colour match seats!

Michelle,

I like what you've done. I also like the idea of sport seats with the backs painted white. My suggestion would be to add an aluminum shifter. The stock one just looks so "wimpy." I bet you could even get your paint shop to custom paint the aluminum part white which would look real sweet.

Looks killer... I think with better lighting the true contrast would show and we could really see how nice it looks. Definitely change out the shift **** for the carbon/aluminum sport shifter. It looks better and feel more substantial.

That center strip was a ***** right? I have the pieces but am just too chicken$hit to tear the whole dash out. BTW, how goes the other things?



Keep the updates coming!

Michele,
Looks great! If you have a paint shop at your disposal, you should consider painting all the silver bits white. Door handles, glove box handle, shift ****, ebrake button, those little bumps on the door pockets. White sport seats next!? That will look amazing. Since you'll be getting them custom painted you should see if they can totally remove the coat hook hole...

I want to do mine too. Stephen at IA said that if you have a glove box you do not have to rip the dash out. Not that it is easy, but it is doable I beleive. PM him....

Let me know if you want to do mine too...

Ray,

What a great compliment.. Thank you

ESK,

I like the alu. accents it compliments the white.. I will add the alu ebrake as it already has the shifter

h20tt,
Looks like an Oreo, I like it
Not what I was going for, but hey works for me...

Britt-

Alu & white NO CF... don't want the car too busy

Yes, I had to take apart the entire dash to get to the strips...
As far as the other project, still waiting, I'll let you know.
