Default Interior Trim Upgrade

GM offers an after market C6 interior trim (console/dash) package in the vehicle body color. Has anyone installed or had installed the package? If so, what is the quality of the trim?

Default interior trim

I did mine before GM had the idea. I took my old pieces off and brought it to dealer and they painted for me to matched body color. It was half the price if you buy the painted pieces. They are OEM pieces but just painted. I even took off lower rear fascia which came stock black and had them painted also. It looks much better painted to match whole car. I can send you some pics if you like. Bruce

If you're handy, you might consider a DIY....cost under $30.00 for all materials. I used a very durable black texture paint, very forgiving in application and closely matches the existing vinyl color and texture
