Now that's a lot of red.
Props for the work, first of all. As for the amount of red in the interior, I guess judgement depends entirely on taste. It would be too much for me (though I have some additional red parts too and also changed from black to red exterior), but I hope you enioy the new look!

Good job Keith! It's really not to my liking either but atleast Keith has the Big Cajones
to try something different to make his car stand out. Thumbs up Keith!

Now THAT'S a "Mad Dash"
I personally wouldn't mind going that route if they had that kit in piano black.
Definately looks better than having trim pieces painted to match.
Looking Good!

MadDash, they DO have a kit in Piano black.
Kwescott showed me a sample of it and it looks AWESOME. It would be a perfect match

I don't really get what is wrong with the interior in the first place. I kinda like the piano black look.
Not a real big fan of these interior dash kits, but at least it matches..

I agree with you zoomzoom. I looked originally at getting some additional peices in Piano Black. Found a piece that attaches to the steering wheel, but it was indicated for auto's only. And another piece that replaced the door handles. I also found a piece that attached to the front of the ashtray when I first got my car like 18 months ago, but was never able to find the link again.
I was really thinking the black kit at first, but then just thought I would be spending every day getting smears and thumb prints off everything, since I already found myself doing that with the radio piece.

I've ordered 16 different samples from them already, and was only dissapointed in a couple of the color choices. The two aluminum ones, as well as the yellow on black carbon fiber. Didn't like those when I received them. They charge you 5 bucks for the samples, but then give you a 5 dollar off coupon if you order a kit....so basically, you get the samples for free if you end up ordering. It was nice to see the actual color before ordering. The only thing with the samples, is that they do not have the protective coating that the finished peices have.
hey keit I need to make time to meet up with you to see them...

I like the fact that you did what you wanted. I got a lot of slack when I painted my calipers yellow, but then they saw the pics and were like "looks good". Of course I had to hear about John Deere and some other nonsense but they dont really bother me to much, after all, its MY car. I couldn't have done the install, don't think I would have the patience for that kind of detail work.

I couldn't afford the custom fiber glassed interior that the vendor's car had, but thought a dash kit would be a more affordable alternative. These were the only two 8's from the whole bunch that had anything done to their interior. It actually was very surprising. These got me to look around to see what products were available.
