this is my new kit installed in my truck..its real brushed aluminum...and one of my pods, interior color matched..
also note the way i blacked out around the gauges and blacked out the dash vents to match the center vents....

What did you do do black out around the gauges? That looks sweet. Two thumbs up.

 

black interior paint

 

lol. I meant like, howd you get to it so you could paint it. lol again.

 

i removed the panel, scuffed it with grey scotchbrite, used a adhesion promoter (a primer) and then painted it

 

awesome... one last question... how did you remove the panel? cuz that looks REALLY awesome.

 

Geez......I kept staring at the picture and couldn't pick out what you painted black "around the gauges" until I finally looked in my truck.
I thought you painted something in the cluster when I first read it, but the gauges looked normal...lol

But yeah...looks nice.

I like how you painted the defroster vents black....that was a good idea.

The aluminum trim I'm not too crazy about, but it looks alright & if you like it.....that's ALL that matters!

 

well, since im a dealer i had to set my truck up with a kit, so i chose the aluminum,but i personally like the platnum better,i also started with the wood trim centerpanel, not the silver one,i blacked that out also before covering it.

 

Ya I've been looking at that as well Dan, and just realized what it was he painted. lol...

 

Yeah the black around your gauges is very subtle....I mean it's nice, but no one would really ever realize it's not stock

Concerning your center radio bezel....I was like, "huh?" because I thought you had a LARAMIE (which comes with the silver radio bezel) but then I looked at your signature.
But yeah.....the trim you added to it looks just like my (Laramie) silver radio bezel....good job!
