Any flaws you might see if ANY are mostly due to the fact that my only camera is my phone right now So the pics are a little grainy! But you get the point. And in person I assure you the the finish on the panel is as glossy and smooth as stock

Default Ok...One more pic!
Thought I'd pull out of the garage and take one more pic. This one does the most justice

I'm tempted to go all black on mine, I kinda like this

Can't wait to see shots of the center console painted.

I think it should look a bit more glossy to be more on the piano black side. The clearcoat looks a bit dull.

NOw it's time to wax and buff that baby.
If you guys wanna do it black and keep the wood look, there's a spray paint call transparent black were you can spray it on with clear coat and still can see the wood, just like tint...but shiny.
