yea it'd look funky that way, incomplete, more of a pita this way but worth it. dont plan on doin any more then this, cept maybe the door pulls gloss black.

paint the door panels where the door handle hole is, and the controls for the window and locks...if you paint that whole piece it adds a whole new style to the car and makes it a lot more sportier...careful taking it out though, the clips underneath can bend and snap if ur not careful

The 05 knobs have a different thread pattern dont they? ive heard that they dont fit without some modification.

Looks really clean. I've never been a real fan of painted parts, but that silver works really well. Nice work

Here is mine to help you out as well.

NorCalWhtHrse · June 23rd, 2010, 07:35 PM

^^that looks great! How did you get the trim around the AC vent out? On the passenger side dash

SonicGT · June 23rd, 2010, 07:42 PM

They are kinda pain in the ass but just have patiance and take your time and be very careful and they pop out becareful not to brake them though. I also painted the housing around my dome light and my GT has a net on the roof in between the driver and passenger that like's to catch alot of junk lol I also took that off and carefully took the net off and painted around the net. My buddy has a body shop and we forgot one piece to paint on my dash the big vent for the defroster close to the front window that pop's out and we are gonna paint that here some time then my interior will be done as far as painting lol.
