Been working this project in sections over the last couple of weekends.

I grew tired of the silver trim located through out the interior and decided to black it all out. Had previous posts as I did each section. Here's everything together

Some say it's bland - I see their point - but the silver trim just seamed distracting and breaking things up too much for me.

Center console with new Nismo Shift ****



Steering wheel and gauge cluster



Rear Brace Cover (after market Z emblem)



P-Side Door grip (and vent) - sorry about the crappy pic



Steering wheel, gauge cluster and console together



Next Project - Blue LED conversion

 

Looks OK i personally thought the aluminum is a nice touch on the Z to each his own though.

 

I like it...it would go well on a black car with dark tint.

 

I like the aluminum trim.


Btw, what door pods are those.

Thank you much!

 

The speedometer looks good but the rest of the trim is overkill.

 

To be truly "Blackedout", you should continue on with the "Z" on the wheel and all that little silver trim on your blinkers and misc. spots. Do it!

 

LOL - I looked at those and was like "hmmmm - there really ought to be a way..."

IDK. Seems like too much trouble but then again, I might get bored and go after it.

 

good job!

i finally got around and repainted my center console as well!

LOOKS brand new!

 

Personally I'm looking into "silver-ing" out the interior panels but all black looks really good as well! Nice job!!

 

I think it looks more plain and dull now. I like the silver trim better

 

i likes...u should do the door handles on the inside too though.

 

i like it ..i personally did the passenger door handle and rear strut flat black as well!!!!!

 

no offense to the OP its just my personal humble opinion. I have a 03 Z as well and i feel that the interior quality is craptastic. I also think that many DIY paint jobs look well..."home made" so by painting it black makes the interior look cheaper than what it already is...

 

do the headliner!

 

yeah, and the windshield too!! LOL...

It's all good. some like it, some don't. It's been a few weeks now and I still like it. My thought is that if nothing else, people who don't like it know for sure they don't want to do it. Sometimes it takes seeing something to know for sure you don't want.

I learned about pulling the gauge cluster and the steering wheel and the rear brace cover.

I've ordered my nuetral gauge faces and blue LED kit. will do the guage faces next weekend.

 

wow...you must be really good with all the electronics huh? i'll take you up on your offer, when I have all the audio components together.

 

Maybe - I can use a soldering iron.... but, I work for a manufacturing company and the lead soldering trainer / inspector told me she would do all the soldering if I needed someone else to do it. So, depending on the type of boards used inside the guage cluster, I might do it on my own, which I would prefer but if it looks too intricate I will ask her to do it.

Meanwhile, the gauge faces should be pretty easy, just have to be careful.

Let me know when you have the stuff. I found an interesting thread on soundproofing, I will PM you with it.

 

Iono i kinda like this, good job
