I don't know... Black gloss would look good... but I think it'd be too much black... and clash with the black dash.
carbon vinyl? that might also clash a bit...
Silver looks a bit out of place.. so custom silver is out in my books...
Black with red flakes, maybe...

I honestly don't know...
I also think you should either do the steering wheel as well, or get a nardi deep corn or something

Depends where its being put...

I was thinking matt black at first (i've got my dash fascia done in that if you wanna look) but i reckon the gloss black would stand out better against the soft dash/door pieces..

if you wanna go custom, go a nice deep charcoal sorta color which is kinda like shadow chrome?

read again mate, it was all said in the original post.... all interior plastics on dash and doors...

thankyou damo... yes ive seen your dash facia mate.. well, not in person but in pics and it looks good.. i like what was done with the surrounds,etc.. very nice touch.. its kinda what i want, a "less is more" kind of look...
ive deleted alot of the "custom" look, and gone for a modified factory, if that makes sense...... the pic i posted prob isnt the best one to compare/visualise with as the carpet is now black, the seats done in burgandy leather and the console lid in black leather, lol... i do like the charcoal idea tho.. its something to consider and i hadnt even thought about that... thank you..

thanks for the thoughts mate.. much appreciated... im sure what ever i decide to do will look alright.. im just trying to find out what is most popular at the moment, and get some feedback on diffrent options.... not sure what a nardi deep corn is, lol but i assume its some sort of steering wheel "nardi".... But, the wheel is getting done, as are the gear knob, and hand brake lever.. trimmed in leather.

Silk black. Minimal gloss silver accents. Minimse internal light reflections = classier, nicer place to be in!

[Mr. Drifter]

indeed it is a steering wheel, haha.


But yes, syd seems to be on the right track

[syd-monster]

Alternatively a Silver micro-suede covering ALL panels that would have been black. With gloss black accents that woud have been silver and matt RED highlight, such as piping on items to break it up.

thanks heaps guys... given me abit to think abou thtere.... like a couple of those suggestions too....

im in the process now of making the ipad mount, and looking for a suitable linear actuator to motirise the faceplate...

will update my thread with some pics of the front doors which have been trimmed now, and acrylic rings for the lighting etc done.. so, ANOTHER step forward in this long saga of a build, lol..

thanks again..
