OMG - I'm blue!
 

Everyone,

Hey! Okay, I jumped on the rice wagon a bit. (no pun intended)

Actually, I wanted a little more color (albiet a change of sorts).

I noticed that there is a hint of "blue" in the seats in the car. They are little lines everywhere. I was also considering getting seat covers to protect the seats from dirt, grime, etc. I was at Autozone and Costco the other day and I saw similiar covers with dark grey and blue down the middle which intrigued me.

So, I painted my instrumentation bezel and surroundings metallic blue (used Rustoleam primer and then Rustoleum blue metallic) - similiar in relationship to the new color on the 2003 P5.

Take a look:

Now I need to get those seat covers!

P.S. No, I'm not planning on painting anything else.

Not rice at all man, It's original, everyone else is doing the silver paint thing but you went with metallic blue. I think it looks great matched to your silver car.

A set of black and blue seat covers would look great with that.

damn, now im not the first one.... looks good, at least i know what it looks like now

Looks sweet!

Thanks guys. I'll take full pics when I get the seat covers!

Just so you know, if you have side impact airbags, a seat cover will make them useless :P

I do not have side impact airbags. Were they an option on the P5's?

Okay, I took some digital pitures. See below:

What do you think?

looking good, but please post more pics of the seat covers, I could hardly see them.

Car looks great. I've shown pics to friends and everyone digs it. Wondering if a blue/silver shifter knob would look cool or not?
