Door switch panel, front and back and center, but it's just a thought.

how about you repaint it Matador Red but add a pearl or candy to it to bring it out a little more!

that would be sweet!

edit: Piano black interior panels FTW!

Yah, Piano Black interior would be sick! I did the neffy wrap stuff for now... but I think either Piano black or color matched to the car would be kick ***... but color match for the car would only look good on a few colors... such as SGM... I think other colors like matador red it might look too much like a civic

Yeah i was going to do the neffy wrap as well, but decided if i am painting the car, might as well have them spray the interior pieces. IS-F pieces are so expensive!

I think it would look 'ricey' as well, but i thought maybe if i did it dark enough, it might blend well. Black it is!

Oh there will be a sick before and after thread once it's done. I'm actually very close to finishing exactly what i want out of it. I've covered everything from lighting to wheels to suspension to exterior to audio. I still want to get shocks, and a view misc things here and there. I've had the car since March, so i'm happy that it's going along well. Not going to go all out like some of you ballers on here, but it will look great

I just repainted my SC300 in 3R1 Matador Red.

Matador Red is a pearl color btw. When you buy the paint, you get the red metallic base coat and the pearl coat has a translucent pink look to it

I can't believe it's a factory color..
Yes it is a factory color (Mary Kay's factory that is).

Notice the official Mary Kary logo on the sides. It's Mary Kary's reward to their top salesperson in Taiwan.
