You're not alone. Reminds me of the porny interior of a '70s van. Won't do it. Although I don't hate on people who love it. To each their own, right?

Totally agree. And absolutely, to each their own.

If it's not too much of a bother, could you take a picture and post it in the thread for us? I was thinking of doing this in my BRZ and want to see how it looks.

Thanks!

This is my car's interior.

Basically everything that was silver is now Galaxy Blue, including the AC vents and door handle inserts. It cost about $400 for all of the parts painted with labor. I love how it looks, it makes the car interior darker because it's a darker color and not silver. If only the red stitching was as easy to change I would do it immediately.

That looks great! But I see what you mean about the stitching. I don't think it'll work very well with the bright WR blue.

Thanks for posting!

I kept the silver look. I personally like it, but to each his own. Sprayed the plastic filler pieces with Dupli-Color silver vinyl dye I had left over from a computer build. And while I had the console out installed the padded 2014 OEM knee pads.
