shift boot ring & gauge cluster rings *painted*

Ok got a little bored so decided to paint the ring that is around the shift boot on the center consule & my gauge cluster rings. It came out really good? painted it Milano red(same as the car) tell me what you think?

Great work here! How exactly do you take out the Shift bezel? I have an automatic and can't figure it out at all.... : (

its pretty easy. theres two clips, one on each side of your center console. theyre located on the very beginning of it. after you take those off (push the center of the clips to take them off) there are two screws on the rear of the console, one on each side, unscrew those and youre good to good. dont pull hard, because you have to disconnect your aux jack and what not. gl

I was going to do this, too - got a BOM A/T. Along with the gauge cluster and shifter bezel (nice work on yours, btw), I was going to paint the silver pieces on the steering wheel. You can't have too much BOM, IMO. Uh, FTW.

Looks good! I'm not good at masking, so it'd probably look like crap if I did it. Someone (hint hint Zeta and anyone else!) should make a ring for the circle around the shifter!

the ring pops off so no masking it off. zeta products would rob ppl if they came up with something like that lol
