looks good man.
I have been thinking of re-painting my bezel's red to match my truck but wasnt sure how it would look.

Nice job.
Nice spot for the sticker to, I've got one there as well.

Black N Blue are you a Sonic Blue Ranger?

Or is that the Medium Blue or whatever they call it?

I cannot find Sonic Blue paint ANYWHERE...guess I'll have to order it from the dealer for like $25 for a $5 can of paint.

Man...you lucky easy color people....black, red, white. Man, the only colors that look half way right in my truck is the Duplicolor color-matched to my truck or black.

Dash looks AWESOME!! That sanding is a big pain....I know....I've dont it about 4 times.
