DIY #2: black interior

[brandn3w]

Definitely bookmarked to do on my next EJ8, but what about the buttons and what not? Even the VIN tag you need to mask, but the buttons I guess stay gray or painted all black?


What do you propose to do about the seatbelts? Perhaps black ones from an Acura maybe?

Ive done the same thing you have.. except i have metalic/silver accentts and i used a satin black.. SEM is a great brand.. and i also used bumper stripper to clean off the old gunk that was on the pieces like 10 yr old armoral lol.. i want to ask you though, how did you take out the dashboard? i have everything painted inside of my car except the dashboard and it looks terrible... i dont want to paint the dashboard while its inside of the car because of wheeper marks

holy s**t.

well theres about 10 bolts that hold the dashboard into place...

ill give you a little hint, if you go into the how-to section, then go to the interior section, youll see a write-up called "96-98 to 99-00 climate control conversion". click on that link, and itll tell you exactly what to do to remove your dash...

Blue and white would look terrible. Save yourself the money and embarrassment.
