looks good for the most part. you should have sanded the door handles smooth though.

It looks good but you should paint some more parts like the (awful imo) piano black center console trim.

Might as well paint the 2 ***** as well as the hazard light button on the dash console to match that stripe around CD player and the shift boot. I really like the panels painted though.

Looks decent. In my opinion, I think what you have done is tasteful and subtle. I would avoid going overboard on painting too much of the interior. Just my thoughts.

Not bad.... Generally painting stuff in the car just looks tacky, you havent overly done it so its not bad.

Personally............the chrome shift ring and the metal circle in the dash are two of the coolest interior features, so it is nothing I would ever try but it looks like you did it well.

Is there any protection?
