I might redo my cc interior. The silver looks a little tacky. Anyone got pics of a black job that's not standard?

Mine's getting done all in black, eventually!
All of it, literally......maybe, will probably change my mind again before then!

it depends very much on the colour - vibrant colours always look gash if u put too many of them together - or too much in one situation -
However Kenni for exaample used a lot of red - which could have been a mistake - but he then broke it up with silver and it looked

Other thing, are they neons in your footwells? was thinking of getting some ultra bright leds, but dunno if they will work that well 
Did want to paint that ring, but If i did i'd mark it whenever I need to get to the dash. Ive got an alloy dial surround in the dash, and the steering wheel's silver, so it kinda makes up for it anyway.
Yeah its a neon, although i only bought the one from Maxpower last year  . Its actually only a slimline 4" neon, but its bright enough to light up the footwell nicely. Not sure what the led ligghts are like, but i cant imagine them being as good a light source as a neon TBH.

Yes they will, 3 or 4 leds in each footwell will be as bright as this, can push it even brighter too..
