I ended up ordering the kit from GM, the guy that sold me the car was in when I went in and I got it for $180CAD, great dealership, totally didn't have to do that for me.

Does anybody ever NOT paint the little portion between the radio and the A/C? I think it looks retarded to break up the color cohesiveness of that section. A little more masking tape wouldn't kill anyone!

I would like to see some pics of it done that way, does anyone have them, or do we all just think it's cool to paint the whole piece.

I really like the way it looks. It seperates the radio from the A/C controls.

Some one else was having a cow about that and they actually painted the middle piece black which looked ok. So yes it has been done, there are pics arround here, somewhere.....

GM kits are black inbetween the radio and the A/C controls. It dont look too bad but it does look odd if ya have the nickel radio and stuff oh well.
