Looks good. I like the way it breaks up the dash.

BTW, I think the word your looking for is console.

haha...I spelled it right...its just the wrong word
As far as how long the dash lasts I hope for a long time.
Should I have prepped it before hand?

I personally don't like it much since it seems a bit glossy/shiny when compared to the rest of the interior. The Z panel in the center also added to the rice factor, but to each his own. If you are happy with it keep on modding.

yeah I know the Z panel is a little "Rice Boy" I wanted the solid aluminium DIN but in the end I do like this one being that I can light it up auburn and it looks bad @ss at night IMO.

anyone else think this looks "RICE"
Rice is not exactly the look I was going for

Looks good! I was considering to paint the center console the same way as toykilla. Along with the black plastic on the door where the switches are, and the rear strut plastic(not sure about the rear as it might give off some glare).

high reflective materials hide imperfections, wish our z's interior plastics are prone to picking up easily...so it retrospect, its not a bad idea

haha..thanks.
Do any of you guys who sanded have pics?

I am DIY "special" so I can barely tie my shoes
I even paid someone to take the center apart and spray paint it. haha...I still think its the best $50.00 mod I ever spent on

And Im glad you guys like my ghetto switches....did you notice the **** carpet under them.......faaaaancy!
