Chrome audio cluster side panel
Hello.
i'm a newb here. please be kind. :) This is my side panel modification using chrome sticker. Originally i wanted this to be a DIY but i'm kinda unsatisfied by the result of the first attempt (full chrome) and re-sticker the panel but forgot to take the picture for the second try (half chrome). :p next : carbon sticker for audio panel and AC panel. please feedback on how to make elegant look on yaris. thanks! |

Since you asked for feedback on how to make your car look elegant, I'm going to say remove the chrome. Put brushed aluminum on the HVAC and radio trim, as well as on the door arm rests. The reason why I say that is because if you look at higher end cars, they either have brushed aluminum or some type of wood. CF is more for an exotic car, but neffy wrapping panels looks good too.

No problem. I'd go with brushed aluminum with a little CF here and there (if you must have CF, lol). I know they sell brushed aluminum overlays on eBay, not sure of the quality or fitment tho. Definitely post pics if you do get some brush aluminum.

If you take a scotch-brite pad to those chrome stick-ons, it may end up looking like brushed aluminum.

I bought 1'x2' cf vinyl on ebay for $5.00. I still have to do the top part, but so far here is the result.
