[QUOTE="96dreamer, post: 16922209, member: 52560"] Finally took the time to take some finished pictures of the interior. Happy with how everything turned out. Time will tell how well the dye holds up on the tan center console. I scratched it getting it over the damn e-brake one of the times I had it in and out. I was actually able to touch it up in the car and it is not noticeable. If it starts noticeably degrading I will keep an eye out for a charcoal one.
