Man u got ***** to cut up your dash, but it looks good though!! Are you worried the paint you used on the dash might peel or not match the rest of the dash properlly? Or are you going to paint all the dark parts of the dash to match??

Thanks Dude. No worries on the paint peeling. I use SEM Color Coat, so it's actually a dye and not a paint. I've been using it in this manner for years. Prior to dying the panels I use a high build urethane primer and a texture coating (also by SEM) to give the dash that OEM plastic look.

And, you're absolutely correct. I will dye all of the dark gray parts of the dash to match. That SEM Coat only costs about $15 a can so it won't cost more than $30 to get the whole dash looking the same.

No more work until Saturday morning. I hope to have the driver side finished by Sunday night.

All four doors are done. No speakers in the back doors but they got two layers of RAAMat and a sheet of Ensolite also. Got the midbass in both front doors done including the RAAMat and Ensolite. Today I start on the A-pillar pods for the tweets. Here's some pics:
RAAMat and Ensolite on front and back doors



Driver's side mid and heater duct mod




Entire dash dyed so new work matches factory color

Still got a lot of work to do on the tweeter pods but I should be able to get them done in the next couple of night (after I get home from my real job).
