another DIY DD bezel, with a twist

Im almost finished with an interior swap and mods

I never really cared for the way the bezel looked painted where it wraps around the ignition switch, so I separated it there and painted the ign bezel the dash color
what do you think?

I agree!

I like that

...did you actually cut it apart or just painted each area different colors?

Do you have any close up pics of the ignition area?

I actually cut them apart and reshaped the ignition bezel to blend better to the radio bezel

Looks great and if I went with a painted bezel, I was thinking that I would do the exact same thing. Makes much more sense, visually. I asked about the waterfall cup holders in another thread, but feel free to ignore that one and answer here.
