BEETC.......The area where you took pictures of your car looks familiar.
It looks like the parking lot of an elementary school in Barlett, IL. where my auntie lives around.

Here's pics of my new 'Custom' TYC Tails. Enjoy





The Tails turned out good. They almost look smoked. I swapped out the Reverse and Rear License Plate bulbs for LEDs. Eventually, the blinkers will get the LED treatment. Also, I FINALLY installed the rear Mud Guards. Looks pretty stealth to me.

Damn Bro! Good eye! I'm in the process of 'sprucing up' the interior. The all-dark grey theme was gettin' a little boring to me. I also ordered some silver micro suede for the doors and arm rest. I have no set time table, so it may be a while before I get to it.
Here's the pics you requested...



Super easy to do! The piece pops right off. Clean, paint, then clear. That's it.

Does it match pretty well with the silver on the center console? What paint did you use? How's the glare onto the gauges with the paint extending all the way down to the gauge faces...does the light bounce around in there because of the silver paint? I'm thnking about doing just the outside and front lip of it, and leaving the "tunnels" grey...

The paint is actually more silver then the pics show. Those pics are in direct sunlight and my camera is probably getting some reflection off the clear-coated Bezel. I could look for silver paint, but it would be very hard to get a good match. The can I used was Dupli-Color 'Aluminum' High Temp paint. I used it first on my Engine & Fuse Box covers. Had some left over and decided to paint the Gauge Bezel. The glare is minimal. I don't even notice it when driving at night. Maybe I can get some night pics of the Gauge Bezel this weekend if you're interested?

Always interested in more pics :D I'm thinking about paintig the center console the same silver I'm going to use for the gauge bezel, so the color would match well. How hard do you think it would be to do that?

^^It shouldn't be that hard. I know there's a thread here (SL) on how to paint it. 2 things you would probably need are: (1) half to a full-day to do it and (2) PATIENCE!! I know there is some sanding required and that takes a lot of time. Also, I tried to post pix of the Gauge Benzel at night but for some reason 'Photobucket' isn't letting me sign on. I'll try again later.

Ok, here's a pic of the Bezel at night.

Ignore the blurriness. I took a pic without a flash and it came out too dark. So this pic gives the best representation of how it looks. In fact, its not even this bright.

Awesome tC man, very rare to see a Silver tC rocking bronze wheels, even rarer wheels without a lip. That looks clean as hell and makes those 18s look huge.
