Yes, they were new. Can't find most of the buttons or controls anywhere but the stealership.

I decided to paint the silver console parts to match the black switches, cupholder and the bin. I wil have pics of the other parts installed in the car in a few days. I still need to do a little sanding around the cupholder because I had to do a little "molding" so everything fits nicely

Re: The King Of All Cup Holders
Did you have to widen the opening around the temperature ***** to accomodate the black ones? The black bottons and everything look great. I originally thought you were doing a piano black finish and from the looks of it, it appears more matte, maybe that is the camera, but it looks great the way it is.
Is it me or in the ash tray a little off kilter?
I had to give you some **** Beaner, but it does look good bud. You thinking of coming back to the Dragon or too far of a drive?

Q2 = Yes you were right, I said I was going to do it piano black, then changed my mind to carbonfiber then changed my mind again and just gave it the matte black finish
Q3 = Yes the ash tray is not right. It has been broken since before I bought the car and it was not as noticeable with the silver but I am going to fix it before spring. Right now it is just sitting there so thats why it is not strait
Q4 = I am not makeing plans to go to the dragon this year but when the time comes and I am availiable I will be sure to make the 13 hour drive!
