Oooh, right hand drive.

I like the pictures of it, but I wonder if it looks tacky in person. If it came out nice and looks OEM (not like a DIY paint job), then I almost think you could do a few more interior pieces. Your trim that goes on the doors (above the pieces you painted) and across the dash might bring it all together even better. I agree that now the door handle chrome seems to stick out more.

I also think the color combo is best only with that car. The silver / silver on the dark leather looks good. A lighter interior or a different color exterior may look a bit funny.

Good work.

Nope doesnt look tacky at all. Just got to patient when painting it. Nah i like the carbon fibre trim across the dash and doors, i think i will just do the trim around the radio and thats it. Im in New Zealand and my car does not have a CELbulbat all. According to the dealer there is no bulb for my model and year car. well im still working on the DIY, been busy. Hardest part is removing the little bits and pieces from the panel.

Your dealer should be slapped. I dont care what part of the world you live in, all cars for the past 15+ years have a cel/mil. Any fuel injected car or car with on board diagnostics has to have one. If its just a NZ thing, then I suggest you move.

Maybe the interior belt would look good in matching paint, too.

It does look nice. Would be REALLY nice if you had silver trim in the car instead of the black, just to highlight it a little more, but you can always paint that too Nice job man, looks like you prepped the parts well because the finish is very smooth and regular, and I agree with the other guys that it does look good in there, and could've been a factory option.
