-stock

Someone used to have a DIY on how to remove the center console and paint it, but I don't know where it is anymore... I might do the CF finish once I start doing stuff to my car...

I just did mine yesterday. It only took me about 10 minutes to get the entire dash out, it is VERY easy to do. Just be careful not to drop any screws into the dash once its out. Once you have the dash out, you just turn it over to the back and there are screws for every peice to take them out so you dont have to tape off anything for painting.

Other than stock silver, I wouldn't do anything else than black. Just make sure you do it right, or you'll get mad if you scratch or scuff the paint while reaching for the shifter. I kinda wish I would have left mine stock now.

i painted mine a graphite gunmetallic color, it was an OEM honda color, and the funny thing is that it matches the a/c and fan controls perfectly!

this is an old pic (about a year and a half old) : i have a new setup now, but still have the same color dash...

they all look good... almost with anything, if done right, it'll look dope but you'll eventually get tired of it... lol

but if i had to choose.... OEM CF > Black > OEM Silver > Sometimes shiney stock exterior paint

:der:

yellow?? i think rice-tastic red looks better...

i think some one should do a light grey, match material on posts and ceiling...
maybe even wrap it in cloth from our ceiling....(yes i know ceiling isnt the right word, i cant seem to pull the right word out though)

I have silver due to that fact it matches my exterior. If done in black its too much in my option

There was a thread open before the crash that they were debating about that center console with the 3 HVAC controls and the double DIN open, you got any info on that?

Nah the whole center piece that you have in your car. http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?p=611865#post611865. I've only seen a few post on these. I saw something on here before the way before the crash that its a climate control like on the DC5 which references the outside air temp. Any other info on it? or where i can get one?
