I like it but more important is do you like it because that's all that counts.

If you like it, that is all that matters. My personal preference would have been leaving in black. However, there is a lot to say about being unique.

Looks ok. Reminds me of the silver surround on the C6.

$300
, don't hate me for this but I only paid $100 for the center dash, IP bezel, door handle bezel and the fuel rail covers, and just like yours they are the same as my body color. But congrats on your mod.
PS : don't mean to hijack your thread but
Here is mine
The second picture, you will see the door handle bezel painted as well.

To those who have painted the console, or some other part, how does it hold up? I want to do this...but I am worried about scratches, etc...
Thanks.
