well after 7 months of waiting, its done. i went home to missouri over christmas and a friend of mine was going to paint my interior peices and mail them to me. he kept putting it off and then 7 months later he did a last minute job and my mom was going to mail them to me and she said that they sucked so she had my grandpa redo them (51+ years body shop experience). it took him a little over two hours from start to finish and here is the final product. she is going to mail them to me on monday. im so excited!! :D

Those look good. Well after 7 months I'm not sure I would call him a friend anymore.

Make sure you get some picts when you get the stuff installed.

he retired this year and im not sure that he wants to paint anymore. the only reason i got my stuff painted is because he felt sorry for me because i waited so long for such a crappy job, but i will ask him for you, he might want little projects on the side :thumbup:

wow. did u use a spray guy? or rattle can? looks like pro shop did them...
my grandpa painted them, hes owned body shops, used to do custom body work and custom paint jobs. hes been in the buisness for over 51 years. he used a gun to paint them.

my car is twilight blue. i dont remember the code but i just picked it out of a book at the paint shop. i chose it to be slightly lighter than the exterior because i didnt want it to be too dark inside. i think the inside will mesh well with the outside. next weekend i am going to joann's crafts store and im taking in my shift and ebrake boots and im going to have them replicate them with some vinyl to match the interior color. maybe thats a little too rice, but i think it will look good
