Fitting brushed aliminium dash trim - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #33095 8 posts Started by RobbieRobson
Have been fitting brushed aliminium gear knob, pedals, etc and am thinking of buying one of the brushed aliminium trim kits. Does anyone know if they actually look any good?
Not sure if it would look tacky or not.
I actually used krylon dull alumunin paint, and you can't tell the difference. It looks real. I have done the door trim, and now just started working on doing the middle console. I decided not to do the vents, but I'm going to do the tweeter covers.

Here's a pic of a member's brushed aluminum that turned yellow. He was at a meet and I complimented him on his gold interior... he was like nah man... it turned yellow, used to be silver. lol.
