Wink slight accents to go with the orange wheels ;-)

so i sprayed my tow hook ral2004 orange which matches the powdercoated wheels and really didnt like the orange accents on the outside of the car. so i returned it to blk and decided to make all the accent come from the inside of the car check it out. comment like it, or dont i love how it jumps off. the rest of the silver accents that our cars come with stock i plan on doing in black.

took dash apart sanded primed and painted them all. also did the boot stiching in orange.

i still don't like how they coated over the rivets on your rims.

exterior looks nice with the bright wheels.

Good job man. I think the key is not going overboard with the orange in the interior. Like you said, just accents. I like it

you know what when i first got done with it i really didnt like it much. i almost re did it in black but it is growing on me. i would really like some black accent on the **** like maybe the 6speed n reverse key on the top but i cant seem to find a place that i can pick 1 up online.

orange stiched wheel would look perfect but keep the quickrelease black, I think the orange qr will overpower the inside with "orangish"who loves orange soda??kel loves orange soda

Paint rivets black and no more orange inside the car. Everything looks good, I wouldn't do any more inside the car though.

Looks good man. I was thinking about doing something like this with my z's interior too. I was going to go with red though. How did you black out all of your emblems? I think that's pretty dirty.
