Seats
Front end (white markers, lip and grill)

my cousin works for an upholestry place that does custom leather interiors for delaerships and whatnot, the door panels came as part of the set with the seats

hahaha, yeah i noticed that today too, gotta clean them up

Might look better if you also painted the silver panels around the shifter/cup holder and the stereo & A/C panel

Just my opinion

Nicely done so far! (thumb)

Lovin it..... except the altezzas. Everything is nice and clean on the whole car up until there, and it jsut shatters the lines and the whole look of the car. If the lenses were blacked out, or even if the inside were blakc or CF look to keep the yellow/black look going, I'd have no problem with it, but the tails really just kill it for me.

your a mind reader, thats actually one of the things i wanted to paint, but i was thinking of goin like a grayish black, much like the interior, since the shift know and ebrake handle are yellow...didint want to overdo the yellow

 

[anarchistchiken]

Yeah my interior is all black and I love the way it looks. I messed up the paintjob, so it doesn't look great, but the overall feel is much better IMHO.

i would have gone with cf or black ones, but i wanted the chrome to match the headlight/foglight/sidemarker housings as well as the grille and polished lip on the wheels. but i see your point as well and thanx for the comments from both angles

looks good i also am not a fan of the altezzas but its all good tho nice job

Great minds think alike? LOL.

Just that the yellow and that silver does not match that well. Besides, you have made the panel around the driver side air vent yellow (probably the passenger side as well), but the panel around the air vent in the center is silver... looks kinda "half-done" or that you ran out of paint

And actually, that silver is pretty ugly to begin with. I would have painted mine all black if I weren't that lazy... hahaha

Yeah, too much yellow is bad as well. Tough call.

I like the look the altezzas bring to the car, but I with everyone else when I say it would look better if they were the black ones. Since the wheels are black and your windows are so dark it would flow with the exterior a lot better.

I also like the grilles you have on there. They flow very well with the car.

The front lip almost looks a different color in that one picture and it doesnt look as factory as I thought they should the way it hangs around the fog holes. That is the one thing that made me not go for that lip when I had my Protege.

The interior leather on the other hand looks great. Adds character but definately not overdone like some of these cars you see. I also agree that painting the silver pieces would be a great idea....but definately not yellow. A black or grey like you said would be perfect because it would compliment the interior but not over do the yellow.

Looks great keep it up!
