As for the buttons, I am going to figure out a way to make it black and retain the symbols. Haven't gotten there yet, but I am sure I can find a nice solution.
SC's with black interior have grey headliners, visors, etc. But every pillar is black.

Anybody know how this stuff handles in extreme temperatures? (hot summers, subzero winters) No cracking or anything like that?

Sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to see the pics...quick quick!

I can only speak for the Sem's. No cracks, no fading, no smell. Tested in Hot Cali Summer days. I only clean it with Mothers Protectant nothing else.

Here is a Pic for ya guys. left is Sem's older style Can, middle is the latest style. There is no difference at all. Run you $11.00-$12.00.

PHASE 1 has been completed!!! Phase 2, I will get the door panels, seats, and side panels in the back. Once that's done, I'll do carpet and my floor mats should be coming in soon.

Well, it takes about 2+ hours taking everything out. Then it took me a whole week to paint everything, and then it took another 2+ hours to put everything back together.

Looks good. You saved me time from buying all the blk interior parts, even though all i need is a couple more to be 100% complete.
