Progress Thread: Blacking out my interior and other interior mods - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm embarking on a long journey to completely black out my interior and white out all my lights. In addition, I'll be adding some gadgets and whatsits and will detail when they are done. So far, I have:

Blacked out the arms of the door panels (plasti-dip)

Blacked out speedo trim piece and narrow side trim pieces of the AC cluster (dupli-color trim paint)

Blacked out AC Vent/Radio trim and climate cluster trim (Spray on truck bed liner)

Blacked out map light trim (plasti-dip)

Installed a bright white LED in each map light housing which comes on/fades out with the dome light (thanks CTScott for the help!), retained regular map light functionality

Installed LED dome light cluster and painted assembly black (plasti-dip)

Changed LED to super-bright white on driver's window switch and center door lock switch

Attempted (and failed) to recover driver's door with faux suede, will re-do with different material (looks out of place, and a little too thin)

My next piece I think will be to finish up the door fabric(s) and to install some ambient white LED lighting in out of the way places, some of which will come on like the LEDs in the map light assembly, some will stay on constantly. Right now, likely placement for such lighting is looking like the accessory pockets on either side of the AC cluster (pointing down), and in each kick panel pointed backward toward the floor board.
