Interior Mod

I am thinking about picking up the Radio Bezel with the Brushed Aluminum finish. I thought it might be nice to help break up the all black interior. Any thoughts or comments?

I think it would look really good. I'm actually thinking of painting mine torch red. I wonder if that would be too much.

I wish Ken King would do those bezels in Light Oak. They do break up all that boring black.

I like it would look great! Brian (C5 KIDD) is painting some so you might want to touch base with him on the light oak idea guys!

I am dying to see someone with the brushed aluminum interior.

I want to do this to mine very badly, but I haven't seen pictures of it. I think it would look awesome with my quicksilver exterior!

Please post up if you get them!

I will give them a call tommorow. I think I will add the Brushed Aluminum Door Handle Bezels and the HVAC Sensor Cap to go with it. I will post when I get the price.

Call him.... I am pretty sure he can do it.
These are done outside of Kens shop and they can do many things.

It looks like it's just spray painted silver to me. I don't know that I'd call that "Brushed Aluminum" but it still looks nice.

I placed the order. The cost for brushed aluminum:

Radio Bezel $258
Door Handles Bezels $28.50 each
HVAC Sensor Cap $22.75

It will take about two weeks to complete the order. The process is similar to how wood grain film is deposited for factory cars.
