Looks very clean. (although I personally prefer wood trim...) but the black looks very nice as well. A well done project!

Workmanship looks real clean!!!! What type of paint/product did you use? Prepwork? Also, did you see if the paint came in a tan that matched the interior? I have the same interior as you and would like to repaint my center console tan.

tks for the kind words.....i am switching my entire interior to "black"........
i will take my seats, door panels to get it done at this shop i know to get them re-upholstered.
im only going to paint plastic parts in black like what i did to the center console like maybe
the window trim on both sides of the door........the inside part that is.
i used this "molecubond" paint i purchased here in southern cali........which thy claimed it does
not peal, but im still skeptical until i try it. of course, im not going to use this on seats.....hell no!
just on plastic parts........

well as of now it sticks out like a sore thumb. When / if you do the rest in a tasteful manner, it'll look great

Good effort!

Looks good Pat,

How did you remove the center console piece?? When I dyed my carpet black, I was having trouble trying to remove that whole thing. Otherwise, I would have painted it black as well. You've seen my interior right???

I can help you with the carpet if you want to dye it dude....simple and inexpensive. PM me...

You can buy that new piece from Lexus for approximately $80...I did some research on Molecubond, interesting material...It will be interesting to see if it really does not peel...

Your workmanship looks well done...look forward to seeing it completed...

Pat, I have a set of new floormats I'm planning to put in my SC in January. You can have my old ones for free if you want. They're not OEM but they're in good condition and match up with your interior a little better (the rear mats are untouched, as well as the passenger side mat, driver's side shows slight wear...you KNOW how clean I keep my interior). Just let me know man. And good job on the trim, just get an all black shifter and it'll look even better...

$80.00 for the center console piece!!!!! ???? !!!!! You sure??? I just ordered the solenoid? thing that houses the radio **** and temp control **** from Lexus of Englewood here in Jersey and that small piece alone was $154.00. If the center console is only $80.00, I would rather install a brand new piece than refinishing. After adding up cost of paint, time & effort, $80.00 would be money well spent.
