Interior Paint.

I have Exterior Street Glow lights and interior street glow lights. All green. I decided since my car was black and since my lights were all green I would go with Green on the inside. I tell ya it sure does look sweet. Painting the trimming inside your car is cheap and very nice looking. Don't go to the dealer and pay $300. Go to Wal-Mart or AutoZone buy Primer, Paint, Rubbing Alcohol, and clear coat. Then follow these instructions.

Clean your trimming with rubbing alcohol real good. Then let it dry. Spray on the Primer, and let it sit for 3 minutes to dry. Then gently hold it and spray with your Auto Trim Paint. Don't hold the bottle too close to the object or too far away. Be careful not to let it run. Whatever you do don't set it near a fan for it will lose the glossy look that way. Give it 30 minutes to dry. Repeat as neccessary. Then take the clear coat paint and spray it over a few times and let dry for 30 minutes. Recommended times for all painting is up to an hour. This is an esay and affordable trick to fixxing up your car. BUT it defaces the value of the car, like any mods to your car. So if your a loser planning to trade in your Honda Civic don't do this. For all standard transmission honda owners this is the tip for you. We all know the automatic people hate their car now. LoL.
