Default jazzing up interior

im in the proccess of painting all my interior peices. i am color matching them to the exterior (white) my buddy is actually doing all the paint work for me, he works at a limo manufacturing company and he is the painter so he gets all the paint and stuff for free.. took out the center radio bezel,the side peices on the doors that were woodgrain,door lock bezels front and rear,power window bezels in rear. so far.....

i was also thinking of doing my overhead computer cover,the little black peices on my steering wheel. i dont want to go overboard but i have been wanting to do this for a while. Any other peice you guys htink would look better painted. has anyone done there overhead console? just dont know how it comes off, havent really looked at it or tried but figured i would ask before i attempt it.

sounds kinda nice it seems like you might be painting a little to much but i am going to put some red lights under the seat that will light up the floor and give me some light when i need it to change up the interior a little as well cant decide if i want it to go off of my sub or not that might be a little over board but not to sure

the door lock bezels on all 4 doors are really small ( just the ones that go around the manual door lock) not the window/lock button bezel.. also the rear window up/down bezel is small too. so the biggest white part is the woodgrain that was around the radio. the two side peices on the doors have to be done just to get rid of the woodgrain. i got the overhead console idea just cause i think it would look real good. ill wait and see how the other stuff comes out first and then decide on overhead. i just hated the woograin soo much its soo cheasy looking. wood doesnt belong in a car as is never mind fake plastic wood....

yeah i agree on getting rid of the woodgrain and thats the trick is making it an accent instead of a main piece other wise in my opinion it is over kill and i dont know about the head piece it seems fine as is but you will have to show me pictures because i have a white truck as well and intrested in how it might look

got it done today. havent decided on the overhead console but im very tempted... the picture just dont look nearly as good as it looks in person. soo much better than woodgrain...
ok i am having a hell of a time trying to upload these pics. the damn problem is my name on photobucket is n i g g y h e r n. my old name on here. as we all know it wont let that name go in without starring out the igg, so it will not let me post pics because it blocks out my photobucket name. any other ways i can post them up???
