Hey what radio you have in there? I was thinking of replacing my stocker with a double din touch screen pioneer. Just want to make sure I can get the right trim panel or just cut my own hole in a spare one I can try finding. How was your install?

So I got motivated by this thread and decided to do my factory chrome nerfs today. First, and it may have been said in this thread somewhere, but you can get the black spray cans at Home Depot for about $5.60/can. The Plasti Dip web site says Home Depot can special order it but the first one I tried had it in stock. Bought 3 cans to be safe, but used a little under 2. I decided to mask the rubber steps to prevent rub off from stepping on them. Masking and painting took about an hour. This stuff is incredibly easy to apply. It's very forgiving about over application and doesn't run easily. If you we're afraid to try this, don't be. This is about the most fool proof and cheapncosmetic mod you can do. I really like the way they turned out. Just gotta clean my step pads to get the wax off from cleaning the chrome previously. I love that I don't have to do that anymore

Its a tablet mounted in-dash. The stock radio is behind it.

On the vent rings I did some uniform light coats over the 'chrome' so i got a different result compared to the mats in the cubbys under the center vents. the trays, which are full coats, are a lill bit darker than the blue dixie beer pong cups. it may be possible to match with a light base coat and some metalizer, but sprayin directly its noticeably different.

Overall i'm pretty happy with it. Its deff not a similar color to the blue flame, but depending on the underlying surface color, it can/may turn out different.[/QUOTE]
Off subject, but I'd like to know if you're able to snap the 12V cover shut with that USB adapter still in the socket and the cable unplugged? That's a nice setup
