Subaru WRX Fan just posted a review video of a Series.Yellow and the owner did some really nice (and tasteful) touches in the Interior and I want to know the details! Are you on here?

all the silver plastic bits painted gloss black to match the stereo surround look realllllly nice... the silver in the interior looks cheap to me, wish someone made "piano gloss black" replacement bits, as i dont really trust paint to last

Right!? The steering wheel and shifter trim too, and I really like the yellow air vent surrounds, the color looked like a very good match

I did some of the same black interior accents to my '17 last year. I used gloss black 3m vinyl, it's a lot easier than painting. I wouldn't be surprised if this owner did vinyl as well and the reviewer just assumed it was paint.

Center stack
Door handles
Air vent surrounds (with JDM Auris vents)

I still want to do the steering wheel parts black, just haven't gotten around to it.

I actually wrapped the shifter ring, but on an automatic it looked weird, so I took it off.

+1

I have all the silver bits of my interior wrapped in matte white or matte black.

I plan to replace all the chrome/silver interior bits on my series yellow with the toyota black ones.. Fairly cheap considering new OEM parts.. Looks better than silver but personally i feel the interior already has enough yellow.. Though the yellow ring around inside of shift boot does look neat.

What i really want is the JDM armrest with yellow stitch.. Dunno if that will happen unless i learn to sew..

Well that's a thought from ft86speedfactory:

TOYOTA JDM OEM BLACK AC VENTS (OUTER) - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ / 86 $21.95
TOYOTA OEM BLACK SHIFTER TRIM - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ $18.65
TOYOTA OEM BLACK DOOR HANDLES - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ $53.85

Under $100, they are black but not the glossy piano black like the head unit trim
Whats the name of the silver trim pieces on either side of the climate controls?

Did you do it or did you have it done? I'm pretty crafty I'm just not sure I'm THAT crafty

I am a 100% DIY person. If I can't DIY, it likely won't get done - with the exception of tire mount/balance and alignments. I hate letting other people touch my car.

Just get this, it's cheap, it matches the OEM stereo trim perfectly, and it's enough vinyl to do all these parts twice. So if you screw up, you try again. My first tries at vinyl were on this car.

Sweet! I just ordered it. I think I'll give it a shot. Now I'm gonna see if I find a color match for that Yellow. Did you wrap the bezel around the vents too? I might have to bug you once I get the wraps in for some tips

I highly recommend picking up a cheap heat gun from harbor freight or amazon if you don't already have one. It helps a lot to gently warm the vinyl when trying to stretch it over a corner or complex surface.

^ I used a hair dryer for the vinyl in my car lol, works fine.

The vent trim is definitely the most annoying part though, I always end up having at least one bubble trapped on the beveled outer edge.
