dude, that is real sweet. I had the same idea for my xB when i get back to the states, a BSP with a black/blue interior. Thanks for showing it off, it just gave me a ton of ideas.

I like I am thinking about this same mod. I just hope I have the patience to take the time to do it right. Very nicely done!

Paint it

And get a dictionary!
Um, actually, I think he meant the recessed area, or "hole." Not the "whole" or "entire" thing.

Ooh... I like the white & black. That looks very nice! Might make a case for me to switch from TCM to PW for my xB... I have a while anyway before I have to decide...

Did you prime the parts before painting them or did you just paint???
That does look really nice and breaks up the interior.

I had my speedometer surround painted white, but put it back to black because it glared too much on the windshield.

Did you paint the surround around the idiot lights as well, or just the speedo ring?

Don't worry, I wasn't here to look at your English, I came to look at your pics. I love the interior paint on these xB's. It really adds to the interior. Not to hijack your thread but wanted to show others that interior paint makes a huge difference. Here is a blurry shot of mine:

Yes i've thought about painting the brake and gas pedal covers yellow....Just haven't had the time...Plus our painter here in Az, Garage Shop Customs (n2htwlz) is having to hold off on any more painting because he got in trouble with his HOA...He does awesome work...
