polish diamond plated dash..

Hey guys. Well my friend and I are in the process of making one for my IROC right now. He made one for his truck, so I thought why not my camaro. I personally think it'll look pretty clean, and add to the interior. Instead of everything being in black and blastic. It should be done in the next week, and I'll post some pics.

NO NO NO. I'm not doing EVERYTHING, all I'm doing is the plastic that goes around all the gauges. It'll look clean, I'll put some pics up when I'm done.

Yeah, good point about the sun. I don't know if it'll be THAT shinny. And the dash kinda hangs over it so hopefully that'll help out. I'll definitly post some pics when it's done, no worries. Hell maybe me and my friend we'll even make some for you guys if you like them so much. I have a template out of cardboard I'm giving my friend to trace it and cut it out. I think it'll look pretty clean, not too much, not too little. I'll keep you posted!

OHHHHHHH!! i feel like a dumbshlt. i read diamond plEated not plated. either i dont think would look to good. but i like the stock interior. the vette i saw was blue velvet diamond pleat. its was nasty. the diamond plate would look good on the console or the gauge cluster, but i dont think it would look good on the dash.
