    The main problem is, if the dash was orange I think it would reflect onto the windshield and add a haze of orange to everything. That's why most of the dashes are black.

    Only change I would make is paint the overhead console black to break up all that orange. Maybe add some black decals to the sun visors or a design or something, just so much orange up there. the door panels have the right mix of orange and black so I would leave them the way they are.

    Makes sense, I wouldn't do orange, probably flat black with touches of orange, then the overhead console and visors black to make it all look uniform.

    You don't need to post the same thing twice. I read your idea on the other forum link and I disagree. It looks better orange. You don't notice it that much because your normally driving the truck and not staring at the headliner.

    I'm not a big fan of painting everything black. Good idea though.

    I see a ton of hours into something that got rushed at the end. Nice glass skills but no block sanding = waves like the ocean

    It had tons or block sanded. It's a very contoured piece. The real problem was it had too much resin and not enough fiberglass. If you want to get particular.

    It weighs 1.27 lbs more. Thanks for the complement.

    I would never be happy with the waves. None of the lines in the reflections are smooth. It looks like the surface of a pool after someone jumped in and the water is choppy with ripples.

    As long as you're happy and think it looks good that's all that matters. It's your truck.

    Looks like a lot of work, and if you are happy, it doesn't make a difference but to you only. I would think the interior noise would be greatly increased without the felt covering it. Maybe a concert hall with the stereo on?

    while I appreciate the work you put in, it's too much for my taste. Good job though.
