Default Non-skid interior trim :)

I did this mod about a year ago and have just thought about posting this. I always got sick of the scratches, glare from the sun and dust collection on my stock dash. We all know it's quite massive and dust and scratches stick out like a sore thumb. I wanted to do something original, functional but not too ghetto. I ended up spraying all of these pieces with a stone texture from home depot and then just painting them flat black. The pictures do not accurately represent how it looks in person. In the pics there is a big contrast in color from the stock next to the textured pieces probably from my cameras flash. In real life it blends in perfectly. It solves all of my gripes and it is not too noticeable unless you are very perceptive.

Again the pics just do not do it any justice, it looks much nicer in person.

I kinda like it, though I don't think I would have done the radio surround.

Very Original!

i agree, the radio surround doenst look so hot, bo i do like the rest, but it's not my style. When are ya gonne do up the big center dash radio and hvac part? it'd look soo much better with that panited too, and the radio trim peice would fit in perfectly too.

A guy I knew in school did something like that to his Civic. His was painted red and looked like crap. Yours looks 1000x better.

I saw this first hand when we did our wheel swap and I liked it.

Reminds me too much of a bedliner for a truck. I'd say "stay away"!
