Default 2011 Pony: Sprucing up the interior *pics*

I kicked around the idea of a bunch of different interior overlay kits, but really didn't find anything that I really liked. So I decided to have the Radio Bezel, Center console and the window switch pieces color matched to the car.

I striped everything down and set it over the body shop. Here's how they look after getting them back and put back together:



I also bought and installed the chrome rings from Blue Oval

I'll get it put together on my lunch break and post pics of it in the car!

I also had the mirror caps painted to match as well.

Edit, Installed pics:

Looks good so far. Been thinking of doing the same thing. Can't wait to see it completed.

We do a lot of trading back and forth, so it was just part of our agreement. But, if you found the right shop, I would guess no more than like $200.

Looks great! I rock Kona as well and this may be something I do myself. It looks especially good with the gray (stone?) interior. Mines all black so I don't know if it would flow quite as well as yours. Any reason you chose not to paint the cup holder cover door thingy?

Because it's the soft textured material like the arm rest on the door. If it was the smooth plastic, I would have painted it as well.

Looks awesome. I'm convinced enough to do this myself.
