I'd still have to paint the panels, the black on those is BLACK, what I have is dark charcoal (the 99-00 specific shade, not the 01-04 shade, there is a difference). That's where I got the original idea though, saw an older interior and thought, why didn't they continue to do that in later models??
gotcha. well painting just the top of the dash seems easier to me than all the other pieces. just my thoughts.
