Hey guys,

So these past two weeks I've been working on my car consistently to get it ready for the summer. I've been focusing on the interior bits for the past month because that's what I'll see everyday and I had certain things that have been nagging me, specifically the bubbling trim panels in my interior. I took the parts off and have primed them and sanded them down to near perfect shape. I feel like I'm ready to now paint these pieces. Originally I wanted to paint them flat black because I want it to look like the image below. My only concern is that the 1st Gen Type-R had alacantara/suede looking interior instead of the regular material used in the normal NSX models. Do you guys think the flat black would look odd with the non suede interior?

No, I think it'll look great. My console is the same and it looks perfect. Nicely breaks up the interior.
 
Just finished painting it flat black and so far it looks just like it did with the black primer... which is good because I kind of liked the look of it with just the black primer lol. Tomorrow I'll start installing the panels back together and hopefully get 90% of the interior done. All I'm waiting for now is a stupid door lock plastic thing that broke when I removed the driver side door panel.
