I ask b/c I have switched my interior to black and I am just not liking the black with the wood. I was thinking of going with a silver. I will just paint them first and see how they look, and if I screw them up I will just scuff them and try something different. Will post pics when I have success, and only when I have success!!

Peace,

Jonny

Default try blackwood...
I think the blackwood kit or CF looks good with a black interior...just depends on your budget...just don't buy from fleabay, that stuff is pure crapola...

Unfortunately my budget consists of a trip to the paint store!! So right now it will be a DIY until I get some $$$$ together.

Peace,
Jonny

I just wrapped my spare set of wood panels in CF vinyl since i already had a CF shifter plate..
This was my first attempt but it came out OK ... I am also replacing my rear door panel to black to add to the look... Here is my pic...
