I hope erc527 doesnt mind that i linked to his profile :P

I asked him about it last month. He said he got it done for $30 which is really cheap. He says it gets dirty pretty easily but he likes it alot. I think it looks really good too.

Piano Black contrasts very well with any interior - been thinking about doing the same to my G35.

Gene, did you paint or did a local dude do it for you?
How did you wrap the arm rest?
Did they clear coat the paint job on your center console?

Here is a pic I found on google of a painted interior that isn't really my taste.

I dig the white contrast but that may have a few too many pieces done.

Just remember paint scratches, especially on interior components. How it looks right after you do it might not be anything like how it looks in 6 months.

Had a friend with all the tools for painting do it. Just had to supply the paint, reducer and clearcoat. I think it came out okay lol It would've probably been better if I took it to a body shop, but it is what it is lol

I wrapped the armrest with 3m dinoc. Just used a hairdryer
