interior panels

[tomgaz]

I am looking to reburbish my interior panels. They are faded in some spots and the colors don,t quit match in some spots. Do to my car being an auto theft recovery. I think they took panels from another car to match them to mine. Does anyone know if their is something other than paint that I can use to match all of the panels. They are all black but some look like a lighter color than others.

Re: interior panels

Tom, compare the grain on the odd colored panels. the 02s had a lighter grey plus smoother grain in the interior. You could look for 03 to 05 panels to replace the lighter ones but any that have the silver trim attached may not match anyway unless you get 05 panels.

Another problem that you may be running into is that they used panels from a car that had sat out in the sun much longer than your car and some fading may have occurred.

Does anyone know of a paint color that will match an 02' center console? My plastic around my stereo is faded around the controls, I suspect from oils in the fingers. I just purchased a new AC vent for the center console so trying to make everything look new again in the stack.

Might want to look at this thread started by Ron McCloud. Pictures of my 2003 saddle are in there somewhere. Have held up nicely for a number of years and am quite satisfied with the look.
