SexyCelica: It took me about 3 weeks start to end, but I didn't have time to work on it all straight through. I kept having interuptions with family outings and other things. I did the dash in 2 days and everything else just bit by bit as I had time after work and on the weekend. I would guess I could of gotten the entier thing done in about 1 week if I didn't have to work. But I took my time because I wanted to do it right the first time.

It looks good, I like the way you implemented the stock color to go along as a silver accent to the black. Did you remove the dash or do it in the car?

Nice job :)

this was the same scheme i was going to do. how well did the sem dye end up matching the stock console. it looks quite close

is dyeing better than painting, as far as lasting?

CeLuKaGT: I removed the dash from the car. It took a friend and I about an hour to take it out and about 30 minutes to put it back in.

hellr: I used the SEM vinyle and plastic coat.

vatik: The color is pretty close not an exact match because the stock console has more of a metallic look too it and it is a little darker in color. I will try to get a better picture to compare the colors tonight.

silva bullet: I can't say if dyeing is better then painting as far as lasting but I do know that the coating the dye puts on is very flexiable so so it doesn't crack when you flex the panel.

Thanks for the comments

Ugly Pete: Yeah those are my stock seats.

vatik: I just added 3 more pics for comparison between the stock dash panels and the Titanium Metallic parts.

I like the two tone scheme on your car...looks BMW-ish (M series) to me...just the first thing that came to my mind

The kid did good. Congratulations. Take care upon entry and exit. Damn the scuffs. They've been known to ruin half-aced dye jobs.
