I posted a DIY a while back on doing custom interior colros for your center console but i never made it to the finished product pics. Well here they are, and It turned out really good. Lemme know what you think.

 

damn that came out great good job

 

thank you, it was pretty eaay all in all

 

Here a the last few pics...

 

Only thing you did was paint the silver pieces?

 

no, I wrapped them in vinyl. Cheaper than painting, and far far less work. Plus, if anything ever happens and you want to change it, no, sanding painting, filling etc... just use another piece of vinyl. You can get vinyl in just about every color to match the 8's exterior colors too.

 

very nice where did you get the vinyl from? my paint is chipping on mine so i may need to look into this

 

that looks very nice great job

 

clean wrap man. even got the ebrake section nicely.

 

Where'd you get the vinyl?
I'd love to do this. I have to take apart my console anyway. and how durable is it?
Think itll survive having 4 tires on the back of it every week or 2? (the tires are covered though, so no rubber to vinyl friction).

 

That looks awesome!

Going to look into that

 

Nice work. Looks really good in black with the brown/black leather combo.

 

Yeah definitely share the secret. You said it was in your DIY but got the link for it? My paint is all scraped from the previous owner so I'm definitely interested in this. Looks a lot cheaper then painting too.

 

wow vinyl ftmfw i'd love to do this i hate the silver

 

Very cool! Can you post a link to your DIY?

 

That came out great! I definitely want to do this.

 

Here is the link for the DIY a while back

I actually redid the entire project and use an application fluid, it really helps eliminate any bubbles and make the whole thing go alot smoother. I actaully have a vinyl sticker business, so i have the vinyl here, but if you go to any local sign shop you could probably buy 4 feet of it from a 15" roll for a couple bucks and that would be enough to do it. The stuff i use is 9 yr stuff, so it holds up well.

If there are any questions on the DIY, PM me and ill help if i can. I was going to get with "Topgear8"... he has a few extra pieces if anyone wants to buy them prefinished. If you cant find a shope to sell you vinyl, signwarehouse.com. You can get a 15" roll of Piano black 10yds long for about $40. ask for the avery A9, its the better kind.

Good luck guys, and thanks for the compliments. It all should hold up very nicely for quite sometime.

 

nice

 

Very nice!

i wonder what else u have done to ur car...

 

Could you just throw an old blanket over it when you have to carry tires? That's what I do.

 

Nice job op. Looks really clean.

Why bump a 3 year old thread to say nothin... come on...
