interesting. Have you had it in the car driving in the sun yet? Any reflection to the window?

Jhon19lopez 05-17-2013 11:29 PM

Ya it unbalances the dash but I'm Also doing the dash trim and maybe speaker covers

sorry to say but itll probably fade to pink.

Burrcold 05-18-2013 12:34 AM

I would have a huge headache if I was looking out over that color all the time. Looks like you did a great job though!

If you are going for a full Mach 5 or JDM it will prolly all come together. But alone it's just to much red.

frslee 05-18-2013 01:58 PM

hmm... I should do mine in black leather. There's some reflections on sunny days.

DSOmegaX 05-18-2013 03:25 PM

Black alcantara or bust!

Haha jk it is an interesting choice to go red on those pieces. Probably would have to see them in person to really see how those pieces play off each other

Just seems a lil over board to me. It's gonna be real hard to make everything come together with so much surface area covered in one bright color.

Easy mod, adds character. Not for everyone, or myself, but not bad!
I would possibly think of doing more trim pieces, i.e door handles, bezels around air vents and what not. The more trim you do, I would think the less pop in all that black you'll have.

I remember there were dashboard cloth/carpet covers when I used to own a sun fire gt....

Reduced glare and greenhouse effect, and looked custom too. Wonder if they make such a piece for frs and BRZ.

Celica00 05-20-2013 04:09 PM

don't listen to the others. I personally hate the color red but if you like it, go for it.
