Interior mod almost done
I've been doing some mods on the interior in the past and I beleive I'm almost where I want to be. It started with the console lid then shift boot/**** and then painted IP/centerdash and door handle bezel and just a few months ago a used VE steering wheel but in good condition. And now, I just got the brake handle and boot-installed it within 30 mins and I say I'm very satisfied in this whole thing turning out. Here are the before and after pics
Before
the actual product from VE
and the after pics
All I need now is the door handle, grab handle, seats, and the arm rest. I thought about the kick panel/speaker cover as well, but whenever I go in, I sometimes hit the kickpanel and speaker cover-so changing it to gray or pewter might not be the best so I'll leave it stock. Hope you guys like it.

Awesome job! Looks spectacular. I have a grey VE interior and as clusy as I am sometimes, I really haven't had any issues with the grey panels on the doors. If that's what you want, I say go for it!
Did you paint the center stack silver or is it more grey like the stock color?
