I can dig it. But I think it would really pop if it were Brilliant Black.

When I was originally painting it Titanium Grey I almost had issues with color match and at the time I thought F@#$ it, I'll paint it Brilliant Black but the mesh would get lost. I am very pleased with the results.

Looks great. Really like the higher quality mesh. Much better approach compared to the cheap chicken wire most have used.

I did wrap my center console in that carbon fiber vinyl but it didnt turn out like I wanted it so I took it back off. The only thing left on the interior is a 3 gauge pod and maybe upgrade all the speakers.
