Re: Blackout interior pics

I didn't get the rear quarters done yet, but I did the speaker covers. I left the grills factory dark gray and just painted the surround. I'll have to find a way to protect the edge where the seatbelt slides on the plastic when I do the quarter panels. You can see what I mean on the far left of this pic.

I thought the same thing. Look again, it's the reflection of the bow of my boat. I wouldn't even attempt to drive this thing without mirrors.

Oh, here's the view from the front, you can see the blacked out pieces. It'll look better with the rear sections done. It makes the window tint look darker from the outside looking in. Not in this pic though, from the side.

Re: Blackout interior pics

Do you notice a difference when driving. The blacked out periferal pillars should improve vision. Like in a camera when everything else is black.

Yeah I really liked how the contrasting parts looked when I got done, like the grab handles and the seat belt adjusters.
