These dipped parts are not for everyone. I have some black leather seats with blue suede centers (that will go in, I figure spring time), and I thought this would all pull it together. The G8 interior is boring GM. A step above basic, but still a lot of plastic.

Just got the car back. Its nasty and raining out. I am still going to try and get some of this, if not all of it done today. I will get pictures if it is not too dark out when I am done. I hope to have the dash taken apart and put back together in the next few hours, so you can see the finished product. Wish me luck!

Well I am done for now. If you live in PA, or The NE, you know by 5:15 its now pitch black outside. It was a slow pace that I worked at with the rain and all. Will get it all done within the next 48 hours since I am pretty tied up all day tomorrow. I got the center stack and all done, but the pics are not looking great. Would rather take them during daylight to show how amazing it looks. Would finish in the garage but on crutches I can't get around my other cars real well while doing this work.

As promised, here are the pictures I said I would post. If you have any questions, let me know. I think it looks great, some might think too much blue, some may not like the pattern. I think it made the car look amazing. Cleaned up the interior, making it less drab and boring. Now I do know this will not be for everyone, but it was something I wanted to do, and think it was worth it. This looks a lot better in person.
I did find it is hard as hell to photograph the entire dash in one shot, the reason the doors are open. I have my blue LED strips on in a few shots. Again, may not be your taste, but they are tastefully installed (and with the entire dash apart, they are properly run and tied into the wire looms) and have a toggle switch for each section. I would like feedback though. I think the transition between blue to black is amazing.
I have tired the Di-Noc CF print, and it does not even compare to this. The fit and finish is amazing. I did not have to sand down or grind anything for the parts to piece back together. Which shows how well they applied the paint and the clear coat, allowing things like the tight fitting air vents to fit right back in place.
Enjoy the shots! And sorry, the car is not up to par with my cleaning standards. I just wanted to get the shots taken ASAP while it was light out as well.
