On my part I think what you did looks great with your car... and you probably did it so that the car looks good to you, not others. Of course, it's also great to hear some positive stuff from time to time...
It might not seem like I'd be the one to paint the interior of my car... but after seing yours, I think I might take a shot at it. Of course, being the kinda guy I am, I'd go for something much more subtle... like aluminum finish on electric windows control trim and stuff like that.
Anyway, nice job!
And if anyone could PM me with the best way to go about doing this It'd be really cool...

i went to autozone and used the cans there...primer 3 layers, paint 3-4 layers and clear coat 3 layers...about 20 misn between each layer and an hour between the primer/paint/clear coat.
everything is still pretty and excellent show and shine...except the center console armrest cover...the shine is ogne and its sticky when its hot out...time to repaint it i think lol.
i cleanded, sanded, cleaned again than started on the coats. i did the area around the radio/ac controls and the huge piece around the shifter and the part around the gauge clsuter adn the center console armrest....i was gonna do more..but never got around to it....i did mien in Dark Metallic Blue to go with my blue neons and it matches pretty well with the ES interior.

that first pic is great, i have a yellow oz and i've want to do something similar, its a great pic to show it off
i thought about doing it in blue, i've seen some evos with the blue interior on yellow evo and in some ozs but i think i will stick with the color scheme
big
not feeling the white interior on the other one but the flat screen w/ computer is the hotness, i saw the saw thing in a convertiable cobra, except he had a 21in flat
