Looks good 10x better than the wood on a black interior. Where do u guys come up with the connections. Down here ill be licky to get a dyno and a body shop to put a boy kit on right. Also on those CF pieces they are like the TRD grill right? They look too real in the pics.

Gamma, yes the CF are like the TRD grill. It is a simulated pattern that is applied to the pieces, then clear coated.... the possibilites are endless. The finish comes out lke the factory wood grain pieces. It's actually pretty cool how this is done.

If you want something done I can give you some info on it.

The brushed aluminum looks great. How much does something like that cost to do and how hard is it to also do the steering wheel and shift ****. That is all I am really worried about.

So far so good... I'm sure it's gonna look killer when your done.. I was thinking about doing this awhile back when I painted my faceplate and air-control faceplate.. But I didn't do it because I liked the black wood so much.. If I didn't have the blackwood it would have been painted too.. Post those pics when you have everything on so I can see how nice it looks..

I should have it all back on the car this weekend...I will be sure to take some pics.

By the way, its actually not painted on, its a process that applies the print to the piece, its then clear coated for protection. Thats how it obtains the actual look of brushed aluminum, as far as texture goes. My original plan was to have the blackwood print applied, then I changed up at the last minute. The JDM blackwood is an option for sure.

By the way, Im not sure about the steering wheel and shift ***** yet. Im not sure the vendor that I am using to do the applications will actually deal with the leather removal, etc, etc...

Im just going to change my shift ****, and I dont have a wood wheel to begin with...so its all good for my situation.
