Default Feelin' ambitious...

Well, decided to do a little interior upgrade project and so far these are the first round of parts I've decided to paint myself. I'm also going to put some yellow welt in when it arrives, paint the center console and center trim as well as tint all the lights except for my headlights and finish it all off with painting my valve covers. I'll keep you guys posted as this may take me a week or two. No matter what, I'm painting the valve covers and lights on saturday as it's my only day off.

Subscribing for interest. Once you start you realize all the things that can/need to be painted. Just don't go overboard lol

alec, yea I know you can easily go overboard. I'm a big fan of simple and clean so I would redo it if it were too much haha

Redfire, your setup looks awesome but I'll be honest, I'm too much of a puss to go yellow on the wheel, haha...no *****!

Yeah same here. I'm thinking about redoing my center console a matte black and the vent rings a matte silver to match the steering wheel and ebrake handle. Never was a fan of the shiny "chrome" rings. Can't decide though

No *****! lol

Subscribed, very interested in how this turns out.

Didn't get to painting my steering wheel this weekend, but still planning on it. I did get to do this though.

I hate all fake plastic chrome that's why I've slowly been getting rid of/painting it all from the outside of my car. I'm certain the interior will start to bother me enough that it will disappear sooner or later as well.

I love the rear emblem Mongoose. Good luck Baker I'm sure it will go great.
I agree though going with yellow may not look right, however it may look kick ***.
