WOW guys seriously i just got the idea from someone online the other day to paint the gauge cluster cover, and it looks Awesome i recommend doing this since its basically free and looks sweet just be REALLY careful when taking the cluster out everthing there is really delicate!

I did that 5 years ago and yes, it still looks sweet! One recommendation.. do not overaccessorize your interior guys... I hate seein these cars that look like a paint can blew up inside their ride... be subtle.. it goes a lot further!

nci interior whitefish.. you see the vent covers that you painted... I took my vents apart and painted the vertical fins only (the ones in behind).. my car is that raspberry anniversary colour... but it just adds the right amount of "flavour"!

I decided against painting that piece because I went for the silver gauge rings and reverse indiglos, white with blue text, and painted needles red. Aslo I was going for a suble look with just a few accents painted here and there.<P>Blikmik, what colour did you use for your interior? I also have the Raspberry edition and chose to paint some parts silver so I was just wondering what colour you used.

I got the raspberry paint colour code 6V put into a spray can.. you can get that dona at mopst automotive shops..don't forget the clearcoat too..just like the exterior. Because the SE is Leather interior, I went with just purple and black with a few chrome accents - pedals, and going to get momo millenium wheel, and cobra shifter.
