could I see some painted interiors? and ideas?
Finally got the promotion at the job, and its time to get back into the car.. Been away form the mod scene for about 6 months now, rarely even having time to wash it 
Horrible I know. Anyways, My interior is needing a face lift. I have somehow dug a hole into my carpet so ill need some new floor mats, wanted to do the push button start, cup holder inserts, and the ring around the shift boot. Wanted to top all that off by getting a leather boot for the e-brake and armrest cover.
I was looking at the floor mats from American Muscle, and wanted to know how well they blend with the carpet..
Last thing I wanted to do is paint my center console the same color as my car, Mineral Gray. From the dash buttons to wear the arm rest starts. Anyone done this and could share some pictures? Color doesn't matter I wanna see whats out there.
Any other Ideas for making the interior not look so.. ehh. American plasticy would be great.

i've been thinking of doing mine in yellow for awhile now... but my buddy just did his F150 in gloss black and it looks phenomenal. Very classy, definitely brings the interior to life without being gawdy. I'm thinking i may do that instead of yellow, it would be a great contrast. No pics for you tho, sorry

The pictures don't do it justice, I need to try to take some better ones the glare makes it look like I missed spots
going to do the center around the radio too just wanted to know how it would look.
welts are another nice/very cheap touch

Found it on here, scroll down some he gives directions, it looked so good to me i'm getting the satin bezel for around the shifter to of which I hadn't been a fan of til I saw this. It's really simple to take everything apart, thinking about doing the lower portion of the console also.
