Interior trim painted...part 1 of interior color change
Had Textured Aluminum trim. Removed them and had a set of plain-jane black/grey ones painted brilliant black. I love the contrast. With the aluminum trim, it was nice, it all blended together "nicely" with the platinum interior...the black really stands out and adds a great contrast to the light interior. I will be changing out more interior parts as I get the $$ for them.
Removing and installing the trim was very easy once I knew how to get everything out.
Knowing where to remove all the parts from the beginning, changing out your trim, carefully, can take from 20-30 mins. It took me about an hour with research of trying to find out how to remove the left and right dash trim properly.
Before install, I washed the trim pieces the way I normally would wash my car's exterior. Then I added a few coats of Zaino.
Here are a few pics:

There's more in my gallery (link below), but you get the idea.

if you had aluminum, i would have traded you. i have black interior w/ black trim...
and could use some contrast.
or if anyone in SoCal is up for a trade, hit me up!!!
by the way, looks good except for that hideous steering wheel cover and ugly floor mats.
