Default Laguna Blue Interior Mods

I don't really like the silver accents on the interior so decided to change some of them that I could remove myself to Laguna Blue. I had the driver door button bezel, passenger door handle bezel, driver door accent piece, shifter console and steering wheel bezel all painted Laguna Blue. Here is the outcome:

That's great! The other aluminum pieces are easy to take off if you are interested in color matching those as well.

I am only aware of the passenger dash handle and silver piece that runs along the top of the dash. Are there any im missing? Also id be very interested in how to remove those.

Hell for 50 bucks you can't go wrong. You couldn't but the paint for that and do it yourself. Well done!

Did you disconnect the air bag or have a dealer do it?

I installed the steering wheel bezel myself. It did require unhooking the airbag.

Adds a little color (Laguna Blue) to your all black interior. Looks great. Breaks up the black. Steering wheel with a color is nice.

Thanks guys for the kind responses. I am very happy with the outcome. I didn't want to overdo it and do too much, but I felt this was a nice subtle change without being overbearing.
