The dingle berry I bought them from painted them black. Looked decent when I got them but the paint flaked off. It wasn't dye... just your run of the mill flat black spray paint. Also I didn't like my brackets, now thinking about it, I would of been better off using 93+ Supra seat rails and putting the RSX seats on it instead.

Small update. Spent all day smoothing out my trim bezel because I got rid of all the unnecessary junk. So I am allowing the primer to get nice and dry so I can paint it tomorrow. It will be Satin Black.
I'd give my work a 9/10. Could of done better leveling it out, but working outside in the cool weather makes the bondo and paint swell up real easy.

it's -14 where i live... This was last Friday
How did you manage to get rid of the volume ****? how did you separate it from the AC ****? They are one unit.

Lookin pretty good there Matt. Looks like your made it pretty flush and with no lines of where the old volume **** was. Can't wait to see it finished and in person. I'm curious as well how you plan to separate the temp/volume ***** since they are on the same one piece???

The celica airbag will definitely fit, I know, because I have an IS steering wheel w/ celica air bags installed. I can't wait to see some new pictures from you Matt. I should probably post up some new pictures of my interior progress as well, I've been lazy. I recently started using SEM because I couldn't find any Folia-Tec product left. SEM is way cheaper, but I can say that it does not compare to Folia-Tec paint though. SEM is not bad , but it's not scratch proof like the Folia-Tec paint, and it takes forever to dry up properly. I have to use a heat gun to dry it out so that it's nice and shiny.

Thanks guys... I just found out I needed a special adapter harness for the airbag... And they dont come in until Jan 26th, yikes. Luckily I drive the car a total of about 500 miles per month now anyways...
Small teaser pic. Wheel is dusty, car is a mess... etc... but you get the point for now.
Also discovered this severed wire... I fixed it, but what is it for?
