Yeah those chicks were pretty pissed man. Thanks for the props bro after seeing it all together Ive come to realize that black carpet would tie it all together oh well trial and error I guess, but its not bad for my first SC interior right? I'll tell you what. Every girl I pull from this new interior i'll shoot your way so they can go all Ginsu on your a$$.....HA! HA! HA! I'll keep my eyes peeled for some black carpet deals and i'll google search for some also thanks again man.

looks amazing! How were you able to redo the trim around the seats and the large center console portion to make it a lighter beige color?

The dash pieces, center console, and seat trim were color matched with SEM Light Parchment #15823 I swear by this stuff its freaking awesome I even put it through some stress tests and no problems whatsoever!! I think its all in the prep just follow the proper procedures and VIOLA! THE CAR SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, SE MAGNIFIQUE.....LOL

Alright, i'll be the first to say it, what's up with the dash mat? Other than that, i'm digging it. It all looks great, but the dash mat just doesn't flow.

I was wondering who would be the first to say somthing about that. I'm going to make an overlay out of suede and see what that looks like. If that doesnt work I may just have to replace the whole dash. Read back a few posts and you'll see why I'm rocking a dashmat, but I'm glad your digging the rest of it thanks for your comments bro!

lol no lerena bobett's for me bro! ayy man jmho but just save about 300 and buy a black dash top. with a black carpet and dash top piece you might get a pimp of the year award. i have seen about 3 dashes for sale on ebay and there is bound to be a few in the cl classifieds. i think sueding the dash may be a little overboard.

Aww come on man you can handle them... And i'm good on the pimp of the year award catdaddy! HA HA HA But yeah I thought it would be a little over kill to do that to the dash with suede, so when I do decide to replace the dash, that will be the time I do something with all the wood trim. Either i'll make it a high gloss absolute black or i'll send it out to be refinished in a black woodgrain and maybe do the steering wheel too like this but in a wood grain:

This place does some really nice work and turnaround time is only a week. I dont know something to think about.

looks great, I was thinking about adding a little suede myself while I re-do my interior. Very clean and very well done, treating a Lexus like it should be treated.
