just added...(large pics inside)
as per my last thread... a member asked me about painting the center console ...well here are the results.
is it too much silver or just right??
I also added some billet aluminum grills...
Notice I didn't paint the entire bezel where the key is located...had i done that i would have had to paint the other side of the steering wheel silver as well.
Good move to keep the silver amount down or should i have painted it also???

I love when people do great stuff to their interior and when they post pics the carpet looks like the inside of a Humvee in Iraq.
The paint job on the console looks good, since you're looking for opinions I think you should have finished and did the ignition area and the other side.
If you have to ask.........

there's always more 
i CAN paint both sides silver if need be.
i was just trying to keep from having 'too much' silver. You never really know where that 'too much' point is...until you've crossed it.
