Nice; kingphilip, by the way the rust-oleum fabric paint isn't impressing me. I used a whole can on those pieces and the pieces could still use a coat. More Progress... Finished off the Textured Plastic Can, 7/8ths of everything is done to, so not to bad for one can.

Since the Rust-oleum Fabric and Vinyl Paint wasn't that good. I purchased Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric HVP106 Flat Black.

Thanks BigManne, if this Duplicolor falls short I'll be sure to try that.

Also to note! For the o-**** handles use the vinyl and fabric spray and not plastic paint. The plastic stuff works but it feels tacky.

Can the rear speaker grilles be removed without taking out the whole deck? I've got black seats in an otherwise all-tan interior and I think the grilles would look much better in black but I don't want to remove the back seat & side trim just after I got it all put back in.

no, they are screwed to it. Something you can do though is mask off the whole area and window and paint it where they are.

Hey, never told you how much I love what you did to your AC kit! Looks great! After my coils and conversion to all black interior, I'll get the AC kit then do the delete of the small grille and might do the big grille to billet(depends if it will look right or not, of course if not then not doing it)
