The Bare Essential's...

Who needs all this junk anyways?



I have decided to get rid of the red and put it back to the stock black, so everything is stripped



I redid the shifter boot and shift **** as well, the **** turned out really well, I'm not finished with the boot yet but it'll all be black as well



I'm just waiting for everything to dry, I'll get some pics when its all done... I know alot of people weren't fans of the red and neither was I haha

I would've probably kept the red other than the fact I did such a half-assed job with it but I actually took my time putting everything back to black it looks better I just need a black shift boot to get rid of the red one I'll post up some pics momentarily

yea, I never really saw any improvement on looks by paiting the trim pieces, that's why my interior looks pretty much stock. Just the way I like it.

i painted mine, but only the console and vents. IMO it just adds enough accent to the interior without making it too tacky. i went with the CF thing for a while, but i didn't like it.
