So are you going to try the method where you brush the dye on after prepping the piece and letting it "soak" in? I vaguely remember reading a thread somewhere on that process, but I don't recall where or when.

Never heard of that process. Interesting.

Interior plastic

I'm just about done sanding the A-Pillars, one more coat of primer/filler and then I'll sand then get ready for paint... Still don't know exactly what color I'm going to use.

Sanded down pretty good

Money is a little tight now so I guess I need to start selling some items I've been keepin' underwraps... Keep an eye out.

Can you post a pic of what your overhead console bezel looks like after removing the foam? I may leave mine that dark color.

That might be only for leather now that I think about it...

Hey Truckin', I would suggest cutting off those elastic bands on your visors. Mine hung down like that too. I got a box cutter and cut them off. Don't cut the stitching that goes all the way around the visor, instead, cut the threads of the bands going under that stitching, it's easy to cut. Just stretch it out and take your time, it looks much cleaner and those bands don't get in the way anymore.

Thanks for the tip, I'm going to soak it in hot water and scrub it down. I might try some goo-gone also.

Good idea!
I'm planning on using visors out of a suburban, they have vanity mirrors and are lighted-- you know how I am with lights LOL.
When I made the wiring harness (for my dimming/compass/temp) mirror I ran the extra wires in anticipation.
